BTW Will Adams is official.  Recvd his LOI.  This might be the year of O-Line!!!!!!!!

Shane Callahan    OL    6-6 / 285    
Patrick Miller    OL    6-7 / 275    
Robert Leff    OL    6-6 / 270
Avery Young    OT    6-7 / 292    
Will Adams    OT    6-7 / 280

 :jaw: That is a lot of beef

Now we just need a 7' QB to throw over there asses. Holyyyyyyyy Shit the future looks bright at OL.

With the OL we have, and signed this year, and how thin we are at DT, don't see anyway one or two of those with a nastier disposition don't find their way to the other side of the ball.  You can only play 5 OL at once, and they don't rotate in and out like DL.

I keep hearing how thin Auburn is on the DL, but I just don't get it.

Jeff Whitaker will be a JR
Kenneth Carter will be a JR
Gabe Wright will be a SO
Angelo Blackson will be a SO
Devaunte Sigler will be a RFR, I believe
Jabrian Niles will be a RFR
Tyler Nero will be an incoming FR
...and that's just the interior line

The DE's might be a little light on depth, but not by much
Nosa Eguae will be a SR
Dee Ford will be a JR
Corey Lemonier will be a JR
Craig Sanders will be a JR
Justin Delaine will be a SO
Keymiya Harrell will be a RFR
Gimel President will be an incoming FR

We're pretty good at DE, in fact real good.  I say "thin" because they didn't produce much last year.  Could one turn in to the next Fairley?  I hope so, but I'm basing on their performance last season.  It was not good.  They got shoved around pretty good, but they were young too.

Completely agree.  One of those "truths" that get repeated enough to take root.  The only glaring needs for this class were QB, OL and LB.

At first, I was a bit aggravated at losing out on so many recruits, especially those that were considered heavy Auburn leans. As GF pointed out, this years OL class are f'n behemoth sized freaks. Auburn got some nice players at the skilled positions too. Overall, this is a solid recruiting class.

and I think we can all agree that the OL spots are getting pretty full now. 
QB...meh, maybe the late addition will help with the depth a little, and Pike will be a good one.
LB...Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?  Little Dicky has 600 linebackers sitting the bench every year and another 300 lining up to sit the bench, and Auburn can't get 3 or 4 decent ones a year to commit?

All the more reason to move Owens and Sanders back there with Rah Rah, Frost and others. I would expect to see a hard push for LB's in next years cruiten class.

One thing's for sure...this spring will be interesting to watch and see how the defense develops.

It should for the most interesting one in a while. With all the new faces including coordinators, I would expect a good number of changes.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

Did we get even one new defensive commit after Coach Pornstache arrived?

So, you thought the play at DT was solid this past season? 

By your reasoning, we're stoked at LB too.

FYI...thin and solid do not mean the same thing.

The DL was definitely on the weak side last season, but most of the guys playing on the interior were freshmen and sophomores that have not completely physically developed at their positions, plain and simple.  These guys were all 3, 4 and 5 star guys, so the talent should be there.

The LB corps had a few 3 and 4 star guys that signed last year and should be ready to start contributing in 2012 hopefully, but there are also 3 LB positions vs. 2 interior line spots that have to be filled with a quality 2-deep.
