We did get two 300 pound OL this period. Keep in mind, we still have room to sign more at the next signing date. Yeah, I was happy to see them sign. The Star article indicates size up front is still a priority for Rich Rod. Hopefully we'll see this 6'7, 320 kid on the list of February signees: Got him. He's one of many much bigger linemen we've signed.

You guys remember the 6'8" OL from Muscle Shoals a couple years ago? I won't mention his name, but he was huge. I think he left after his RS season...

Not sure where he went after that. He just disappeared into the ether, which has got to be tough for a guy that size...

Does anyone have arm length? Height isnt worth much if you have short arms.

Hopefully, strength training, conditioning and nutrition will make them bigger, faster and stronger as they mature through the program.

Can't beat "conditioning" and "Southern speed". If all that happens we can witness them actualize their potential on the field in Tuscaloosa Athens and auburn. The G5 is now the developmental league of the p5.

The G5 is now the developmental league of the p5. We can use this to our advantage as long as it's communicated to these players that Tuscaloosa, Athens, and Auburn (and Knoxville and Gainesville and ...) won't be interested in them unless and until they've proven themselves on the field. We should never lose players to low-end P5s and G5 programs. I'm OK with losing the occasional grad transfer to a high-end P5. (I mean, of course I'd prefer we didn't. But I'm mildly realistic about the current state of things.)

We would have an opportunity to get the best that is out there and willing to prove themselves for a chance at a huge NIL deal and a pretty much autobid to the CFP. Meanwhile those that don't ascend will be our players if we choose to keep them around.

Anyone know anything about Kameron Edge from Carrollton? His twitter says he signed with us but he is not listed on the official signee list yet.
