Seniors coming back is perfect timing for UT. As far as transfers, probably one or two spots left for this year. Signed 21, even tho 3 were released, they still count as initial counters and count against your 25. 2 guys have transferred in, 3 if you count Big Kat but doubt he signed. That leaves 2 spots left for transfers.Normally that might be true. But the extra Covid year will return several guys to UT that would have been gone. The transfer portal is full of guys that don't have a landing spot yet. This is a unique time when you can cut guys loose much easier if you don't think they fit you or if they really want out.
No there is 20 big AND quick O linemen in a class and 4-5 teams get 18 of them every year.If he's too big for the offensive line then there's a big problem. Look at the teams in the playoffs, any of them trading big guys for small guys just because they're quick?
Where has it been said that he wants small and nimble OL? I would think the fact that we just signed a JUCO kid that is 6-6 315 lbs would say otherwise? Plus if you look at UCF roster the OL isnt small. Looks completely different than what Butch was going for. Most seem to be around 6-4 to 6-6 and 290 to 315.The last two guys who coached at UT and wanted "finesse" blocking and small "nimble" olinemen.
How'd that work out?

Iowa State got turned around by recruiting tall guys and hanging weight on them, slow or not. Bum Phillips was quoted once about a good big man beats a great little man every time.
