If he is GOOD enough to come in and START or be a capable back up then I say bring him in. He will be ready for conference games and we all know how halfway thru every season our team gets banged up specially in the oline and we struggle. Its a no brainer to bring him in if he can produceI agree, if they can get rose on the team go for it we need him for the conference stretch next year.

And those might both be a tad low. Reiter with another 40 pounds is probably headed to guard/center. Now if he grows another 2-3 inches could become a tackle.

It usually doesn't work that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We knew we had way too young of a crew on the OL, and the best thing that would come out of this season is these guys were hardened by being thrown into the fire. I think next year these kids will come back with size, speed and knowledge. As an ex OL guy, I always laugh at the "skill" positions moniker. You show me a lineman today that is expected to just push forward.As for finding the 6'4" 340 guys out of high school; they are very few and far between, fewer that QBs or any skill position, and they know it. Why do you think the kid from Wesley Chapel was so **** cockey when we caught the academics issue. There was a line of coached licking chops to get him on the field. If these kids have any kind of footwork they write their own ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
