Yep. You can get away with starting a freshman at receiver, and in some cases at running back, but starting a freshman at any OL spot is asking for trouble.
I think some folks are forgetting just how much talent we have recruited at the OL positions the last couple of years. I'd be tickled pink if we were able to redshirt all the OL from this class. Let them practice against our defense a year or two and go through our S&C program while they learn the calls.
That's how you build a dominating offensive line year after year.

If Jonah Williams would have gone to all the camps, I really believe he would have been the top tackle for this cycle.

Holy shite. Jonah is vicious.

We're going to have to keep him out of trouble though. He's so aggressive he's hitting guys on the ground, hitting guys out of bounds, and throwing them into the ground 
There are definitely some penalties in those highlights

It's like watching the Blindside. He demoralizes everyone.

That's exactly what I thought of. It is a rare type of OT that wants to destroy people at every level on defense. He doesn't stop until the whistle blows and he tries to destroy everyone he can.
We got ourselves a ball player boys.

Kid's got some good film. Somebody at Bama will have to iron out the kinks, though -- he shouldn't be going down with the guys he's hitting, especially on the plays away from the ball. But he's brutalizing those DLs.

Any word on the RObertson visit?

Waiting on SAT score before he visits Stanford. If what Bone reported Wednesday is true, you have to like our chances to land one of his two remaining OVs.
That said, he's cancelled on us so many times at this point that I'll believe it when he's on campus.

According to Dawgs247, if he gets good news, the plan is to set an official visit to Palo Alto, Calif., potentially Feb. 19.
That would leave UGA and Alabama fighting for his other OV. You best believe that Nick Saban will fight tooth and nail to get that visit. Robertson has said recetly that UGA would definitely receive one of his remaining visits, but things change so much around signing day you just can’t guarantee anything. If he doesn’t get the qualifying score for Stanford both UGA and Alabama could receive the remaining two OV’s. I would imagine there would then be a fight to get the last OV.

Jonah is from Folsom????

Loves to use his hands with a good punch to keep defenders' hands off of him. Best part is he is disciplined enough to keep them inside, even when annihilating smaller guys.

Nebraska is exactly who I was thinking of. How great would it be to have that type of continuity, strength and skill on our OL year after year?

His attack style is like an alpha male mountain goat.
He doesn't just sprint at his opponent. He's under control, maintains his balance, and then explodes at the last second.

Total beast. He keeps pressure on his blocks so they can't get away from him

Hank posted a name to watch going forward for the 2016 class:
3* DE Mykelle McDaniel from Grayson High in Georgia. Lupoi reached out to him on NSD to let him know he had an offer from Alabama. Visit set up for February 20th. Grades are the main concern but Hank said there is room for both McDaniel and Robertson in this class. McDaniel has also been described as a 'pass rush freak'. Here are his highlights:

Missouri wanted him pretty badly if I remember correctly. If Missouri is interested in a 3-star defensive linemen then he must have something.

The opposing QB was like, "Oh HAYUL no! Here! You can have it!"
