With Lewan coming back, do we still take a 6th OL?
Sorry if somebody asked this in another thread, they are all very long and I am extremely lazy. We all assumed that Hoke decided to take a 6th because Lewan was leaving, and I know a few are visiting this weekend (maybe). I also know that we told our other commits at one point we were only taking 5, if we take a 6th do we risk losing one of our commits? Do we even need 6 in this class? Discuss.

That is actually what I was getting at, not the other way around.

Taylor Lewan is your starting LT. Taking 5 or 6 O-linemen only affects next year's depth chart wrt to Taylor the two deep is not relient on having 1 more OL that will hopefully be redshirting. I have to imagine Hoke knew Taylor was coming back and he still wants a 6th OL

Didn't Coach Hoke say at one point that typically he'd like to have 18 linemen on scholarship?

You definitely want more than 8 or whatever we have now.

Quality OL are tough to come by and take time to age to perfection. I say take a 6th.

We really need a tackle? We have Lewan, Schofield, Braden, Magnuson, Tuley-Tillman, and Fox. So six of the 13 guys on the roster or committed are tackles. Even after Lewan and Schofield graduate, we have four tackles (along with a couple guys who could play tackle if needed) and Denzel Ward committed for 2014.

We need a OG/C combo. Barrett Jones would be nice, but I'll settle for a better version of Rocko Khoury.
