We do have some good young prospects waiting in the wings and and right now I think Adkins and Marrone have earned the benefit of the doubt with the line.
 
Pugh was a Big 33 game player but had no offers. These guys should get credit for his development. He's going to be a 1st day pick.
 
Chibane was a flip from South Florida but there are NJ coaches who said he couldn't play at this level. He ends his career very good and very dependable. Another staff stripe.
 
Hickey - offers from BC and Illinois. Might also be a pro. This was only his first year playing after 2 knee injuries.
 
Trudo - redshirt freshman is really coming into his own. Had solid offers (BC, Pitt, WVu, Cincy, Michigan, Iowa State) but not all were to play OL. He was wanted on defense as well.
 
McPherson - the boards favorite whipping boy has turned into one of the best centers Syracuse that I can remember. Staff stripe here.
 
As for some of the youngsters. Emerich is another Big 33 player. Offers from Pitt, Uconn, Central Florida and some others.
 
Kyle Knapp out of Michigan. Not many people know this but Knapp was the offensive line MVP at the Ohio State NIKE camp. Not bad.  Mean nasty kid from what I understand.
 
We have talent coming back, some depth (Phillips, Robinson, Foy) and some kids ready to play (Emerich, Knapp, Palmer) and we'll be bringing in 2 or 3 JUCO's to supplement and push for PT. The line will be ready to go.
