After checking out the bios on these linemen, I am mystified by your "scare me" quote. Just how do they scare you and compared to what? Alabama?

Thanks, I've been waiting for this.
OL should be decent if we stay healthy (say this every year though). DL will still have growing pains.
I'd rather have him redshirt this year than play under 100 snaps.
He needs to just redshirt this year
You're concerned about Bonsu, Tupuo, and Solis?
This link has the current roster with S or WO status. Based on my count with the incoming class we will be right at 85 if no one else leaves. That is including Payne and Webb in the Scholarship category and Fernandez, Ford, and A. Wood as Walk-Ons.

wow, according to this, UCLA went 3-5 last year and the depth chart shows that Jeff Thomas earned a letter last year (impressive for a grey shirt freshman)
This.
I don't expect us to match up better athletically against opposing offenses, but I don't see how we'll look as disjointed as we did last year. Last year it looked like 11 guys were told to get on the field and run around.
I'll wait to see it on the field. I've been hearing about how we will be surprised by coaches and players, let alone message board people for nearly a decade.

Having Yuri redshirt this year does not lengthen the number of years he can be at CU. It just means he doesn't play this year. Last year's medical counts just like anyone else's voluntary redshirt year. You have five years to play four.
Agree, and that is concerning. He played in a top level HS program and he's got a season and a spring under him so far. I don't expect a seasoned veteran, but with his abilities, he should be contributing. Jimmy part deux
Yuri was a good enough athlete out of HS that a bunch of schools wanted him. As big a disaster as last year was in so many other areas I tend to think that the coaching in addition to making us the worst major conference team also held back a lot of individual players. Yuri with his athletic ability is very logically one of those.

I do like Tupuo, but everyone else on the DL except CUD is unproven. As a unit, they have to get better at pressuring the QB.
Except that he played last year and had no medical issues (to warrant a medical RS). If he redshirts this year, all things being equal he'll be a RS SR the season after Crawley graduates.

There's some injury history there with the depth behind them concerning me. If the three stay healthy then I have no further concerns about the tackle position. All should improve on last season.
Love reading this!
That appears to be true, but I think if it motivates Solis, he can be a stud as well. I get the feeling that Henington is outworking others. No inside info here.
Let's stop blaming the coaching from last year for holding back guys. Post spring, Yuri is no higher than the 5th cornerback listed. They all suffered thru last year's coaching. Yuri is listed behind Walker, who was a freshman under the same staff last year, and didn't get the experience Yuri did.
His own Godfather is on record saying "Yuri needs to get his head together". I don't pretend to know exactly what that means.
But I do know where Yuri is from via the Grenadine Islands. CU has to be an adjustment in so many ways. Socially, Academically, and the coaching change. It took Jimmy a while to figure it out. Hope Yuri does too.

Would love to see that! He showed some signs last year. He's an athletic big guy.
Yep. Word is that Yuri is in a good place at CU. We need the talent and our program is very much a supportive, family environment. It's a good marriage, so to speak. Fans need to be patient here. Both sides are making an investment toward the future and Yuri has all-conference potential down the road.
Awesome, but that doesn't change the fact that he needs to redshirt and spend a year developing instead of wasting another year
Where is this Medical Redshirt news coming from?
AJ must have been thinking of someone else. Probably Walker.
