re: tOfficial 2019 Ole Miss Football Recruitment Safe Space UPDATE *12/19/2018

I believe the staff was looking to get at least 3. Looks as if they got one and a couple of d-line guys that could end up on the o-line.

But that starting line up next season is going to be the strength of the offense and maybe help the defense by being able to do more ball control running late in games.

If not for the transfer of Defoor. They would have had a solid 2nd line of Newman-LT, Tuitt-LG, Johnson-C, Defoor-RG and Mathews-RT. Brown and/or Gray will be expected to fill Defoor's absemce. Still, all with a red shirt season and one or two years of experience. This would have been by fair the best 10 man rotation they would have ha. in my 40 years. So it's not as if the staff and Luke weren't on pace to build a solid offensive line for the future.

They need a big time season, in order to pick up some momentum and you could see the staff pick up 3-4 linemen of better quality. No need to take linemen you don't believe can play at the SEC level, when you will have 3 or 4 leaving the next season and can offer up the opportunity to start immediately, to some 4 and 5 stars.

They are going to need quality replacements for those 4 or 5 guys not 2 star legacies.

The offensive line should be better than 9 of the 12 defensive lines they face next season. They should win 9 or 10 games if we can get some solid linebacker play.
