And Brandon Kennedy was playing at a very high level by the end of the season in 2019. He was probably our 2nd best OL behind Trey Smith.
If Wanya and Wright improve a bunch in their Sophomore seasons (as is often typical), the OL has potential to be N-A-S-T-Y!
Will Friend coached 3 linemen grading over 90 and one other at 87, he has done a really good job when given the chance and talent to work with. Adding Mays will only improve the overall line performance.

I know we didn’t sign him but adding Cade Mayes this year if waiver gets approved then it will look even betterUT has signed 3 players with a grade of 90 or higher in the last 10 years. Just so happens we will have all 3 of these guys anchoring our OL next year. I anticipate Wright and Morris will take big steps forward and our OL is going to be VERY good.
Trey Smith - ESPN grade 93
Darnell Wright - ESPN grade 91
Wanya Morris - ESPN grade 91
And yet they still couldn’t run block. I hope that changes dramatically with the second year for the freshmen. Otherwise they will waste a year of a potentially great line due to lack of adequate coaching.

He brought in SOME talent. He didn’t bring in enough talent, banked on a lot of questionable “I know better than everyone else” evals, and didn’t develop the talent he did land.Yes. So were most of the impact players on last years roster. I hate Butch too, but you can’t say he didn’t bring in talent.
The O should make strinds next year. If they don't, something is wrong. If the D is able to maintain at all without Bituli/Warrior, we should be 1 or 2 games better. If one of the QBs can pass JG early, we'll be cooking with gas.
I'll take another Eric Gray all day. Don't worry about stars. Identify good talent that also fits your scheme, regardless of star rating.
Just didn’t develop the talent he had. Case in point...how many guys are lighting it up in the NFL that did t get drafted? Then they get with S/C guys after and develop in to contributors?Yes.
