00:00 Do you have a target number of scholarship offensive linemen you want to get to and you want to add and
00:05 How important will the the spring portal be in that I guess how confident are you that you can get to that number through?
00:11 The spring portal right right now. We're in a situation where I believe we're at eight or nine
00:16 Scholarship linemen and three of them will not be able to participate in spring ball due to injury
00:22 So we're looking at a situation where we've got about ten linemen
00:28 For spring ball, which is okay as long as you've got the reinforcements coming in May
00:32 My hope is to sign probably four to five more
00:36 scholarship linemen and
00:39 For this class and I think that if we build it the right way
00:43 there's some great opportunities there for guys to come in and compete to be starters and
00:50 The guys that are here are gonna have a great opportunity to compete to be starters
00:55 We've played freshmen when we were the last place we were at we had a freshman All-American
01:01 Then we had another freshman All-American
01:03 And then we had a third one that I think would have been one if he didn't get hurt
01:08 So we feel really confident in playing true freshman and redshirt freshman in the same regard here
01:15 I believe the same that whoever we have will play
01:19 we're gonna play the best five and
01:22 Or six and certainly believe that there's gonna be an opportunity in April for a lot of good players
01:28 to want to join the
01:31 One of the best teams in the country
01:34 I don't know. I know that hatchet is coming off of an injury
01:41 Guard Memel are is coming off of an injury. So both of those guys are
01:48 When I say miss spring I'm referring to more of like the full contact drills based upon
01:53 the extent of the injuries
