They need to find a coach first. Otherwise the portal will not pay dividends.. Dec 5th is going to be nuts

- Start date
Eh, not sure I'd trust the staff on O-Line stuff right now with the history of that position here under them
He's been hurt all year. First three games were 100+ yards, one of them against Iowa. He just needs to be healthy.
I really like the small bits of Norton ive seen. He's picked up 3 different injuries this year already though. Talent is there but im a bit nervous on his ability to stay healthy
That position just takes a lot of wear and tear. Breece was a bit of a unicorn in that regard. Sad that it caught up with him his rookie year.
We've heard about young offensive linemen coming up for the last few years, and still no improvement.
The best case scenario for next season is a new OL coach that can get more out of the current group, and at least 1 or 2 starters are from the portal.
The best you can hope for is a new OL Coach develops the current roster players.
IMO OL is a position it is hard to find portal guys who can step in and start right away. And if we can, probably 1 guy.
Norton with a year of strength training in the winter I feel allows him to catapult Brock. No slight at Brock I just don't like his ability to make people miss against good competition.
I think we all remember the jump Breece made with a good strength coach in those early years. Hoping Norton can do a similar improvement.
I think its a total grand slam if you can land 2 OL in the portal and hire a new OL coach who knows what he's doing. OL are like portal bigs in basketball. Gonna be very hard to land a good one
Thing I just remembered
Transfer Windows, is that a thing for this year or does it start next year? And if so when?

I believe we have many of the needed size qualities in the Oline room now. We need more aggressive strength and agility training. They appear to be getting tossed around like rag dolls and lack the needed foot work to push or contain. Again, identify the problem and provide the solution.
Updated the OP with the transfer rules for this season. The transfer window is in effect for the first time
Apparently it’s not true…
Or at least our 4th and short solution.Maybe he will be in the QB conversation next year.......
