Chris,

Did Hayworth Hicks come up at all with his availability for next year and how the academics are coming along?

Not sure. I should have asked a specific on him. I'll try to do this in the coming weeks.

Was just going to ask the same thing. That's the other main piece as far as locking down a starting OL. If Hicks is back, I expect him to give Alvarez a run at LG. That's a battle that I could see going on through the summer and into two-a-days. The others may get pushed by Caspers and a few other guys, but IMO their positions are pretty set.

Yeah, I don't know. I'm not an O-Line guru by any means, but Alvarez seems to be the type that we as fans always expect to get beat out, but never does. I wouldn't be surprised with either of them starting.

I lied, I'm thinking Haughton. yes i agree Hicks will be competing with Alvarez at LG.

as I posted in the previous Oline thread...

so if i read that correctly the 1 deeps will be:

LT-KO
LG-Alvarez
C-Lamaak
RG-Haughton
RT-Burris

this leaves Hicks, Baysinger, Caspers, Spears, Smith, Tuftee and Bykowski among others fighting for 2 deeps. i'm ok with that.
