I don’t think so, but Mora has already signed several guys who can fill big holes next year.

 

[Coach J]

Most of the major holes have been filled, Bell returning was also crucial as we are losing Sheffield and Buckman to graduation and Montgomery to the portal. It wouldn't hurt to grab an impact defensive player though.

Agreed, right now I think we are pretty reloaded on offense.

Defense given the scale of losses to graduation and the portal, I’d love one more big body up front and LB/ edge rusher type.

 

[gioff2323]

I’d argue we need another OL or 2. I’d love to see us focus rest on front 6/7 on D.

I would to see a few offensive line transfers before this cycle ends.

Idk- I think they will use this spring to give a lot more reps to all our underclassman. We have have a bunch of 1 to 3 year OLs that we need to sort out. Who is worth keeping and who should move on? I expect then to take just one more OL before spring ball and then use spring ball to suss out what we really have.

April portal season will be meaningful.
