re: Kimo Makaneole spoke with Coach Cregg last night

Kimo plays OT now. Analysts say you either have it or you don’t when they watched him play. Kimo was blessed with a talent of being quick on his feet and having the ability to move quick for his size. Colleges want him because of this. He’s at a weight where they can add good solid weight. They don’t want a guy weighing 300+ and slow.

Does Kimo have the agility to play OT?

I just don't think he has the length - he's 6'4", but a C/G 6'4" (arm/leg length)

We've had to play so many tweeners outside over the years, it boggles the mind. As it is, I think our 4th option at tackle, right now, is Hill and he's a natural guard.

Looking at the roster, Turner might get cross-trained at all the positions (Will Clapp 2.0), but I suspect he stays inside and becomes the starting center in 2022. Martinez might develop, but with Deculus gone, and assuming Rosenthal keeps it together off the field, the starters will likely be Rosenthal at LT, Wire at RT and Dumervil the first reserve option.

Depending on which juniors leave, we might have some holes inside, but we always seem to be able to find guards and centers.
