Question: 2012 OL Question

[DallasRTR]

This looks like such a solid recruiting class - my only concern is only 1 offensive lineman.
Does this concern anyone else? I know we have some good ones in house, but only 1??

Greene, Hill, and potentially Gulledge. That's 2 or 3.

Are we still looking at Avery Young too? I liked the look of him.

Not sure about Gulledge...

He also switches back to defensive lineman after playing on the opposite side of the ball for the Lions during their Class 6A state championship run.

Our staff is obviously happy with our numbers and depth at the interior OL spots. All the OL in this class are tackles. I'm sure the 2013 class will have some interior OL.

How about Alphonse Taylor? My commit list shows him as OT, but I was under the impression he would play on the defensive side.

NG all the way. It's one reason he switched.

Just as I thought. Man, he should be able to plug some gaps! Can't wait to see him on the field!

One thing this staff is good at is looking at future classes. Maybe they see some better potential in guys in the class of 2013.

The coaching staff never really seemed to make signing more than 2-3 a priority. I think Brandon Hill and Brandon Greene will do fine in this class, and it helps sure up depth at OT. Alabama is pretty deep at the interior spots, but will look to sure those spots up with the 2013 class. I suspect a couple more OTs will be added in 2013 as well. It looks to be a banner year for offensive linemen in general for the 2013 class.

I think the low numbers of OL in this class indicate some good development from current players. I'm just guessing but I'm thinking Ryan Kelly from Ohio will turn out to be a good one. Austin Shepherd was our next man off the bench and I'm still very high on Arie Kouandjio. Cyrus obviously is a talent but I'd like to know the details of his knee injury.
