If the Longhorns don't sign 4 offensive lineman for the 2015 class, they are in bad shape depth wise.

If they were done they would have been kicked off the team. They might be suspended for a good bit of time, but I don't see how Chip says they are done when it's been confirmed that they are only suspended for BYU.

"........Texas coach Charlie Strong insisted Thursday the suspensions of starting offensive tackles Desmond Harrison and Kennedy Estelle would not become a distraction as the team prepares for BYU.
Both players were suspended late Wednesday for an undisclosed violation of team rules.
“You have to move on,†Strong said on his statewide radio show. “You just can’t allow it to be a distraction. It won’t become a distraction.
“We just move on and get the next guy ready,†the coach added. “We have some players who have a chance now. It’s time for them to step up. They’re on scholarship and they’ve been here. So now they get an opportunity to go play.â€
It’s thought that guard Kent Perkins will slide over to right tackle in place of Harrison, a senior who was scheduled to make his first start against the Cougars. Harrison was suspended for the season opener against North Texas and was just reinstated on Monday. Strong announced Harrison was suspended again late Wednesday.
Marcus Hutchins is likely to start at left tackle in place of Estelle. Backup guard Taylor Doyle will likely fill in for Perkins at right guard. ...."
"Any time you’re involved, there’s going to be some people who just think things will be done their way,†Strong said. “We will not become them, they will become us. And when you have 95 percent doing it the right way, there’s 5 percent who are sitting on the fence. Sometimes you’ve got to clear that fence.â€

It has become obvious since we hired Charlie Strong, we hired a HC who makes his players abide by certain standards.
Standards including good moral values and good character. Be a good man, don't break the rules (of the HC or the law),
attend class and play tough. Don't behave like a thug. Charlie's rules have sent several good players packing...some
REALLY GOOD players, actually...some highly recruited that we could have won with. As a Texas grad and fan, I love
to see UT win at all sports, especially football. But at what cost...winning with thugs and coaches' rule breakers? UT
will probably not win as many football games as I'd like the next couple of years...won't contend for Big 12 Title, may
not make a bowl game...but when we DO WIN AGAIN it will be with the right kind of players donning the Burnt Orange
and White...players of good character and values who play tough and work toward a Degree from the University of
Texas. Players that, if they're good enough to play pro, come back and get their degree after pro ball. Charlie wants
"men of good character" at UT playing for him; so do I. If getting there costs us some wins the next few years, so be it.
I'm buying into Charlie Strong and his cleansing of the "bad seeds" from the program. I am patient and I want things
done right. When we win again (and we will), I want it done with the "right" kind of players. Players that the University
of Texas and I as a fan can be proud of. Go, Coach Strong!
Fear my bourbon, for it speaks the truth.

If our OL has a good game, I will be pleasantly surprised. Especially with an inexperienced QB.
If by chance our OL has a great game against BYU, then I'm joining the Joe Wickline fan club.

From who? HornsDigest/Chip Brown?
Steve Patterson already called out Chip's report that Strong stepped in to stop two players from being kicked out of UT, "Inaccurate and irresponsible".
