How many injuries did we have to our O/L last year? It should increase some due to playing in a tougher league and rushing younguns into duty. So, 4 injuries means no depth if you have nine linemen
Please to be providing a link to a decent NCAA (Div I or whatever it is called this week) that says less than 10 OL is ideal.
TIA

Huh? My point was that they don’t have nine linemen that is fake news.
They have 13. Which is one or two short of ideal but not a huge problem in terms of numbers alone.

Yeah but it we had 40 linemen, 31 injuries still leaves us with 9. Link me to something that says this is ideal.

with a combined 13 career starts.

McGary started as a RS freshman, Harris and Adams started as true freshman, Brailsford started as a RS freshman, L. Hatchett played meaningful snaps as a true freshman. It isn't ideal but there is a fair bit of recent history that says young lineman can hold up. Carrol is a good coach, I'll choose to say that the kids they go with will be ready to rumble after their five week rehearsal to open the season. Glass half full take, doog it up.

even the doogest of purple doog drinks can trump what logic says - I’m a logic guy, zero heart/emotion (aside from hate and anger). But yeah, you make some good points and I’d like you to be right. Unfortunately our o-line is the weakest link until it isn’t.

Disagree.
EVERY report said there were 8 linemen available for the spring game. If you want to, you can count the true freshmen and the injured two to get to your creative math but I'll stick to what was actually available for the scrimmage.
They are young kids, but there is no guarantee that Gaard and Hatchett will recover 100%. And as of now, they are not available.
Also, 17-18 is optimal. I've even seen 20 as quoted as ideal based upon the hazardous nature of playing OL.
TLDR. We need 18. Have 13. 5 Available need to be OL

It’s very simple. It doesn’t matter how many linemen are here in spring because they don’t play games in spring.
There are currently 13 linemen rostered. Full stop. Not nine. Not eight.

Feel free to find me a single roster with 20 scholarship linemen. It doesn’t exist in the 85 scholarship era. 14-16 is standard.

Numbers aren’t the problem. Experience and talent are.

Experience, yes. Talent? Won’t really know until October. Watkins could be talented. Fasaalo could be talented. Jackett could be very talented. I’m pretty sure Gaard is talented. We’ll find out. But no, zero experience. Fingers crossed that both Huff and Carrol have good eyes for talent.
 
Enokk Vimahi looks pretty good against Michigan here (#66, RG). Looks as good as those fucks who went to Ole Miss to me.

 
Gee whiz, we are getting some ballers. I ain't scared. If only we can pick up another OL or two....

Disagree. 14-16 is low which may be an average since the portal and NIL were introduced. It is not ideal nor is it the standard. You can repeat your belief 100 times and it still won't become true just because you repeated it.
Disagree. Not 13 healthy or fully developed. People can be concerned with the absence of developed or healthy lineman EVEN if you say they can't.
Disagree. The 85 scholarship limit was imposed in 1992. 32 years ago. If you think there hasn't been a single roster of 20 scholarship OL out of nearly 4000 rosters, you are less cerebral than you sound.
Agree, quality is more important than quantity. Which is why some discount the benefit of having decent numbers in the '24 class. You can't teach a year of development over a couple of weeks in the fall.
Its almost like I said we need good (better quality) recruits. NO ONE that I know of said to sign more true freshman or non quality (fcs) OL.
I am done. And, you INDEED, are a troll. Full stop.
