I was listening to an interview on the radio with Sean Callahan and he said it is hard to get a read on transfers. They do not divulge much if any information on their status unlike being recruited out of HS. He was shocked that the guy went to Florida since he stayed a day longer on his visit. He said he wasn't going to try to venture a guess on Rouse.The funny thing was, the recruiting word was we were a Sure Thing to get the guy who ended up committing to Florida and a long shot to get Rouse.
Getting a quality offensive tackle for next season is a Really BIG Deal.![]()
Coach Rhule had tweeted a cryptic bunch of emojis that included two crabs and a bucket. Fans had speculated that it meant he was confident we were getting BOTH of those linemen.I was listening to an interview on the radio with Sean Callahan and he said it is hard to get a read on transfers.

That said, if we were going to lose one of the two, we nabbed the best one -- by far!
Now we can use Benhart correctly...as a backup interior lineman.

Exception: It is in mop-up duty, we're ahead by 60 points, and all we're doing is running the ball to close out the game.
The "correct" way to use Benhart would be to get him back to playing guard, the position he is best suited for. He's been playing at tackle because we didn't have any choice.The "correct" way to use Benhart would be to never let him play another snap.
Exactly! I feel bad for him, playing out of position and getting all the blame.The "correct" way to use Benhart would be to get him back to playing guard, the position he is best suited for. He's been playing at tackle because we didn't have any choice.
6'-9" guard? Is that what he played in high school?Exactly! I feel bad for him, playing out of position and getting all the blame.
Hopefully he'll be put in a better situation this year.
He was a tackle in high school. This "out of position" stance has little merit IMO. Maybe the new coaching staff will stoke the fire in his loins. Who knows...maybe his cockles will be warmed by all the changes.6'-9" guard? Is that what he played in high school?
