Meh...we aren't thin at TE like we are at LB. Sprinkle and Henry will be the go to guys anyway and this may help us with Gragg in next years class.

We are pretty thin at TE for what we want to do. We really needed this guy inside. Most likely we will be forced to play Kraus out of necessity and before he is physically ready.

True, we need that Nathan Ball, Andrew Davie type of guy who doubles as an undersized tackle but can also catch the block-and-release rollouts.

Chris Stringer better start working on his route running.

Grady Ollison would seem to be the perfect "run-blocking" TE for this offense. He could easily drop 20-30 lbs (or more) in an offseason. Then you get a 6'5" 270lb TE, which is about the body type of guys like Matt Spaeth or Daniel Fells.

He is exactly who I was thinking about as well. If he finds himself getting passed up on the depth chart with all the youth coming in, perhaps it is something they will look at going forward.

You know this TE situation needs. Be a razor coverage story.

Ollison will almost certainly fall down the depth chart with Tretola and Wallace coming in

Not a bad idea. I'm about to have a lot of free time on my hands over the next few weeks.

Holy hell, RT is bad right now.

"Louisville care about Winning, Arkansas cares about INTEGRITY!!!!!!!!!"

Yep, they're breaking out that word again.

Because slipping out at midnight going to the NFL = breaking protocol to hire your mistress, giving her cash and initially lying to Long about it before getting busted.

@doc_harper 36m The thing about hiring Dorrell, that was a relevant recruiting position. Petrino wasn't even trying.


Really cares about winning.

She was a finalist against Ben Wilkerson for the job, that tells you all you need to know.

Saw this dude in person the other day. He dwarfed Swanson who was with him, he's a fricking giant. Hopefully he can use that size in some way to help us next year

I remember reading about the other finalists adm about Wilkerson. He had letters of recommendation from Nick Saban, Les Miles and Marvin Lewis -- Dorrell had letters from a few people at the Foundation.
