Good post.  I'm encouraged that we return four starters.  That type of year-over-year consistency is what's needed to improve both performance and depth.  And i'm not trying to dismiss how difficult it will be to replace a player like Macky, but I'm encouraged that Emerich will be a third-year sophomore in our program who's played, not an incoming frosh or someone who is completely green.  It's a sign that through recruiting, we're making strides at the OL.  Not fully there yet, but trending in the right direction.

No idea what is going on with Knapp, however.  Very concerned about his future, considering he appears to be the only natural LT on the roster.  Hope Hickey returns.  I just don't see a kid who projects at RT being a high enough draft pick to warrant him leaving.  If he goes, depth at OT is significantly depleted.

As far as the youngsters, would be nice to see Palmer take steps forward next season.  Ditto Burton, a project.

Also, to your question about center, I wouldn't be surprised if one of the incumbent guards makes a push for the starting center spots, with Foy shifting inside to RG in the interest of getting the best five players on the field.  But that would be contingent upon one of the young OTs making a strong push.
