With Lewan coming back, do we still take a 6th OL?
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
I would think not. I'm sure hoke has known his decision for a while, unless he had a last second change of heart
Didn't Coach Hoke say at one point that typically he'd like to have 18 linemen on scholarship?
"The goal, the expectation of this program is the Big Ten Championship"
You definitely want more than 8 or whatever we have now.
“True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty.”
Quality OL are tough to come by and take time to age to perfection. I say take a 6th.
Abort, Retry, Fail?
Hunt appears to be another interior lineman. We really need a tackle in this class. Although he was impressive in the UA game.
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.

The timing of the new offers seemed to be right before news of Chris Fox's injury. He could be destined for a rehab induced redshirt. Maybe the coaches want 5 FR o-linemen ready to practice and compete, even if they do eventually redshirt.

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