Not how I see it. The majority of OL comprising the depth chart are either true frosh or redshirt frosh. Here's the list [in no particular order]:
 
Pugh [jr], Chibane [sr], MacPherson [jr], Alexander [sr], Trudo [fr], Foy [fr], Hickey [so], Curtis [fr], Emerich [fr], Knapp [fr], Palmer [fr], with Robinson [fr] and Philips [sr] sprinkled in--the majority of those guys are 1st or 2nd year frosh and Hickey as a soph who hasn't played yet. 7 out of those 13 are true-frosh /redshirt-frosh, one is a soph. Only three are seniors who won't be around next year [I'm not 100% certain about whether Philips is a sr or whether he has two years of eligibility left, in which case we'd only have 2 departing seniors].
 
The coaching staff has done a decent job of replenishing the pipeline at OL in recent classes. Now, that doesn't amount to  if players like Trudo, Foy, Emerich, Hickey, Curtis, etc. don't step up and prove that they can be contributors this year. But my expectation is that we're going to FINALLY see improvement in the OL over the next 2-3 years with that nucleus of 1st and 2nd year guys. The question is: will said improvement deliver value THIS YEAR when we desperately need it.
