OL Depth 2018

[MikeV73]

With Cuney, McMillon, and Garrett Thomas participating in senior night activity we appear to be losing more bodies on the OL.  Depth is already an albatross for our team and this doesn't help.  Does anyone have a run down on who we have on the roster and who is coming for next year?  Hudson off injury, Uriqidez, Williams ( fat chance), Cosmi and Moore with RS seasons coming to play.  Hopefully some JC dudes ready to play.

My guess is starting line (if C. Williams leaves) would likely be Rodriquez, Vahe, Shack, Hudson, and bulked up Kerstetter.  Backups would JP, Okafor, Cosmi, and Imade on the current roster.  Add Reese Moore, Hopefully a JUCO, Ghirmai, and hopefully one more.

Thanks for the reply, forgot about Rodriguez.

So here is a roster and according to it we will only have 10 linemen (counting Williams) on scholarship.

Seniors- Vahe, Rodriguez, and Williams

Juniors- Shack and Okafor

Soph- Tope, Hudson, Urqidez, and Kerstetter

Freshman- Cosmi (RS)

Right now only Moore and Ghirmai are committed in 2018. 

Anderson, Thomas, Cuney, and McMillon all participated in senior day yesterday.

Forgot Anderson was in on senior day as well, and Moore is a freshman next season.  Have seen a few former Texas OL playing for other schools this week:  Hodges at Pitt, Darius James at Auburn.  This whole OL depth issue has spiraled to its current status starting years ago.

Of that group, McMillon would be the only one we'd really miss. The others amount to warm bodies. No offense.

Has this even been clarified? It makes no sense. What is Cuney doing? A planned quit?

Not sure, but Herman said Cuney is gone and McMillon is not fully decided.  They are graduating I believe.  Not sure about Anderson, graduating I guess.  We needed warm bodies on this team this season.  Need practice players!

The mess at OL began when CS came in and kicked several off the team for core principle reasons.  Others quit or transferred. 

The mess at QB goes way back to Mack Brown guaranteeing QBs (Garrett in particular) that if they commit he won’t recruit any others... and many (Garrett) didn’t pan out or transferred. 

The fact that neither position is close to being fixed yet is unimaginable at THE University of Texas should initiate a special committee to investigate.

OL problems goes back to Brown also.
