Starting OL

[Apis Bull]

What do you guys think our starting OL will look like next season?  Toewe and Springfield are huge.

[mutt]

hopefully we can beef it up strength & size wise... Danny Muy looks hopeful.

[Apis Bull]

Toewe is 6'-7", 310 lbs

Springfield is 6'-8", 320 lbs

Muy is 6'-4", 270 lbs

We also have

Walter Walker, G, 6'-5", 285 lbs

Robert O'dell, G, 6'-3", 290 lbs

* John Miller, G/C, 6'-0", 275 lbs

Mike Lube, T, 6'-5", 270 lbs

Shadie Jones, T, 6'-4", 295 lbs

Matt Huners, G, 6'-3", 290 lbs

Jake Griffin, G, 6'-4", 300 lbs

Mark Dile, T, 6'-4", 275 lbs

* Frank Davis, G, 6'-4", 310 lbs

Chris Carothers, G, 6'-3", 290 lbs

Nick Capogna, C, 6'-3", 255 lbs

* 2004 starters

I would imagine that Toewe, Springfield, and Muy would be penciled in as starters.

[BIGJL]

I am going with MUY, MILLER, DAVIS, CAROTHERS, and DILE as my dark horse to break into the starting line up.

GO BULLS!!!

whatever position Griffin plays I think he'll be in there

Yea I'd expect Griffin to make big noise in the spring.  As for Springfield & the German kid, I don't expect much from them until thier Jr. yrs.

[E.T.]

I see Griffin starting at one of the guard spots ... this Spring will have some great battles.

Go BULLS !!!

I think in 2005 we'll really start to see the fruits of these good recruiting classes we've had the last couple years. A lot of great recruits have been redshirting.

BTW I wouldn't count on Muy to be available in 2005. I know he's trying a "hardship" appeal to get the sit-out year waived, but I seriously doubt the NCAA will grant it.

There has been, according to howiep's research on the other board, a precedent set by the NCAA for medical hardships in this type of case, that they would grant it.   Of course... that doesn't make anything set in stone.
