With Moretti's health concerns, where do y'all think he'll play? Thinking about it, I don't know whether it should be inside or out, but lean toward guard instead of tackle.
I'd say right tackle with the ability to move into guard.

I'm curious how you think a 6'4" 290 lb Center is undersized, and why you think he can't add weight?
His frame is nowhere near maxed out.

Out O-Line is going to look very different next year. With our obvious upgrade at coach, and we know the best 5 will start. I believe Ham is the only starter we can count on now. These guys will eat and train differently then they have in the past, so who knows who will step up and earn the starting jobs?!

I don't see Lynott as a lock.
I would say Hambright, Pursell, and Sherman are locks. Sherman was very good for an undersized freshman at LT last year.
Whaat?
How do you post that the two-deep is pointless and then proceed to highlight that the guy you have slated at RT might not even be on the team next month? Then you go on to talk about injuries and hoping the the two-deep guys can push the starters?
I agree. I think Lynott is likely to start, but I wouldn't rule out some combination of Moretti, Sherman, or Sauvao being better than him at Guard. That also doesn't factor in Ray or Roddick, either.
IMO, Hambright is the closest thing to a lock to start on the entire team, outside of Viska and Montez.

Just saying that listing 10 players isn't really relevant to who will play. The rotation is almost always 7-8 players. For example, Lynott would likely come in at center if Pursell went down so who cares if Jynes is listed behind him. Obviously if Fillip isn't here that 7-8 man rotation changes so that is why I posted that. So I pointed out the 5 I think will start, the first off the bench (Moretti), and how we would deal with an injurty to the center (Lynott), and then I said the last backup would be Sauovo, Ray or Roddick.
Better than Hamlington.

You do love you some condiment puns! I just want a big, strong, mean OLine that wants to compote!
Our OL needs to ketchup to truly compete.
Aioli want to win.
It's a tough schedule. we mayo or may not get a bowl game.
Maybe he will add weight. He not a starting quality OL. His grades prove it.

Players do improve, you know?
I hope he does. I did not see it during the season. His grades declined. Maybe he will respond to the new coaching and realize his potential.
A healthy Lynott would be a lock but healthy is the question. He has been dealing with ankle damage for a couple years now. Last season he showed an amazing amount of grit being out there on that thing but it was very clear that he wasn't healthy and that it hurt. He didn't have close to the same mobility as he did as a Fr. starter and it looked like he had a lot of trouble driving off it.
In most programs with a normal amount of depth Lynott would have taken last season off but with us he gutted it out and played as much as he could.
I have heard different things about how much healing is possible with the ankle. For his sake and ours I hope he makes a lot of progress this off-season and comes back next year ready and able to play. If the new staff wants tough then he fits that description.
Bowl game is going to make miso happy!

I have no idea really, but I think the declining grades should be taken with a grain of salt. From USC on the entire operation was a **** show. I am, as usual at this time of year, optimistic that we look to have descent depth, and if we can run the same 5 guys out for 8-10 games, regardless of who that end up being, we should be in good shape from an OL perspective. I don't think our top 5 will make other P5 teams jealous, but I don't think it will be as embarrassing as it was the back half of last season either.
Do everyone a tahini flavor and quit being such a pesto with these saucy puns.
