Will Meyer be left with scraps at OL?

  • Whiskers said...

    Haha I think at most people feel one MIGHT flip from the OL. Bax seems to be about the only one who seems to think Dymonte will flip (though I do block some of the crazy posters, so IDK what they are saying). I haven't heard Bax say if he is still confident in a while, so he may have backed off that statement. I don't pay too much attention to the free board as we have a lot of posters just playing characters or board schtick. twocents

    As sad as it is, there's a lot more than just Bax. Some of the crazies seem to be expecting flips a la 2012, and that the entire class will fill up with 4 and 5 star flips as we get closer to NSD.

    I think it's possible that an ND OL flips (although, if I had to guess anyone, it'd be McGlinchey to PSU) but I think there's a strong element of competition there - the "best OL class" has become somewhat of a competition recently, with Stanford's ungodly showing last year, and Michigan's ridiculous slew of maulers this year. I'm sure there's an element of pride for an entire solid OL to come in together.

    Must be on the free board, which I stay away from. Luckily we haven't had a Dymonte thread in a good while. At least not one that got any attention. There are definitely some crazies on our board though so I wouldn't doubt it for a minute. After a while you just block their posts, so I could be missing a good portion of those you are talking about.

    The free board is just a nightmare, I've visited it once or twice and I couldn't even imagine how some of them even survive each day.

  • Ive come to realization, offensive line more than any other position, that coaching far outweighs Oline star ratings(Brew Crew, Wisconsin). Wisky's Oline recruiting is along the lines of these tOSU "scraps" im guessing over the last decade yet they have the best Oline in the B1G year in and out. Brew Crew sucked. tOSU's Oline always sucked in the JT era. Key ingredient, Jim Bollman.

    Good for you guys and your Oline haul but with Bollman gone and a competent coach in tOSU's Oline is gonna be just fine. #truth

    I hear ya. We have a guy who purposely spells almost all his words wrong and others who just have absolutely no clue. Bucknuts tends to let more questionable comments slide which has its good and bad aspects. For me, it's always been the perfect reason to go VIP.

    Also wanted to apologize for posting the picture that got removed earlier. I thought it was kind of funny and didn't mean to offend anybody. cheers

    They do feel confident that 2 of those 3 will be Bucks and so will Dymonte... I sure wish I was that delusional

    Feel bad for Hunter Bivin. He had to tweet all the rumors were BS. Even asked fans to go on MB's and post that he's all Irish. Kid grew up a huge ND fan. His coach/mentor that visited every school with him is a bigger ND fan than most on my HB.lol Montelous has reported he's not talked to any staff, but ND's since committing.. Good thing they are waiting to attack the 2014 class. Aren't we lucky!roflmao

    I would think the '14 class will be more balanced in the midwest between ND, Michigan and tUOS

    Would not agree with what(even though i couldnt care less)? Bollman not being a good coach? Wisconsin not having the best line yearly without abundant 5 and 4 star recruits? Oline coaching meaning more than star ratings? Our Oline never being any good in the JT era? Our Oline is going to be just fine? Go check the BTN listings of their Oline predictions.

    Bollman leaving is going to make all the difference in the world. And id trade another Brew Crew(3 5*)class for a major upgrade in coaching with 4* any day of the week. Prepare to be shocked apparently. You guys saw what coaching did with your team last year right?peace

    How many underclassmen start at Wisconsin?
    Wisconsin produces a good oline every year due to the continuous depth they built for years and years. Most of their O'Line never see the field for more than 2 years.
    That is a really bad example.

    One of the MAIN reasons Notre Dame has sucked so bad was because of lack of development on the O-Line. Have at him OSU

    I thought the same myself. They have brought top olineman in and yet their oline has under preformed. Oh well.

    He really wasnt there long enough to develop anything...but in his time there he increased the rushing yds per attempt to 4 yds (highest ND total since 2003) and decreased the sacks allowed significantly (lowest % total since 98) he also started alot of young guys...no one is saying he is a O-line messiah but he is a good coach and most people consider he a upgrade over our previous position coach. Wether they suck or not is debatable, they have gave UM some pretty tough games in recent years and put up decent numbers in doing so..

    And couldn't convert 3rd and 1's but please continue to ignore the facts. Enjoy those 2 star tackles you guys are saying are so good now that you missed on all of your targets.

    The reason the sacks went down is that Jimmy "my feet are bolted to the turf" Clausen left for the NFL.

    enlighten me with the facts then...just facts, not your personal opinion. The facts that show Warrnier failed as a O-line coach. What 2 star tackle are "we" saying is so good?
