It'll be more experienced yes and will have decent depth IMO. They will still be pretty young but by the unit's junior and senior seasons we should have one of the best o-lines in the country.

Simply put: Yes. I do not believe that the OL will be the issue next fall. Wylie will have another year with them... first year for Stone, Fulton, Pair, and Gooch. IMO Hiestand is the best coach on the staff for what he's doing. I think they will improve tremendously.

The problem is going to be DT and probably inexperience at WR.

DT in comparison to this year will be much much better. At WR, it will be young but finally explosive again with Hunter, Rogers, Rogers, Dallas, Williams, Young.

I am more worried about our def next year then offense. I believe the screws should be start to be turning 2011. the def might take a step back which could be scary O_O

O-line will be much better in 2011, it should be flat out good in 2012. For 2011, as sjt18 said, our current freshman and sophomores will have another year of strength and conditioning plus a full year of seasoning under their belts. The problem is that our depth still won't be overly talented. The 2011 recruiting class should have some very talented o-linemen, who by 2012 will have 1+ years of college strength and conditioning and some game experience... and by that point our current starters (other than Shaw who will be gone) will be battle hardened upperclassmen and have 3 years of Hiestand's coaching under their belts.

O-line will be a team strength by 2012. Talented and experienced starters, talented and somewhat experienced backups.

On-field is where we need to get things fixed....not sure how the internet will help them block and pick up blitzes. :crazy: :unsure:

What they lack in experience, they'll make up for in raw talent.

DT can hardly help being much better by comparison to this year... but that still leaves plenty of room for it to still be a weakness.

I think Walls will help Hughes. I don't know if any of the other guys on the roster will really help and am not ready to count on any recruit that can help. This isn't my first rodeo. I've seen UT flop for years now at DT recruiting. Warm bodies will be an improvement over what Fulmer and Kiffin have done over the past 4-6 years... but they won't help next fall.

WR's will be the most talent UT has had there in quite awhile but the lack of experience will hurt unless Z Rogers or someone steps into GJ's "Mr Dependable" role.

TE may not be very good either.

If its one thing Kiffin did for us that's panned out, it was signing Montori Hughes.

Doesn't usually work that way.

AJ Green was a great Fr... but he was playing opposite a Sr Massaquoi who had almost identical numbers.

Usually you need an older guy with maybe less talent but highly developed skills to help lead the young guys along.
