Only coach Borstad would know after Spring. If we have to guess Smith, Evans, Coogan, Benson, OSU tackle. Nothing but a guess at this point.Who's our starting 5 next year? Opinions?

You are right.Did Bedford get another year?
I'm kidding. You meant Benson.
i want to ride out of oregon undefeated.It should be one of the top lines in the conference with the returners and the additions!

My guess ... locks are Smith at L tackle, Coogan at center and Lynch at R guard.
Probable's are Michalski at R tackle and Benson at L guard based on experience.
Possibles are Barrett beats out Michalski at R tackle and if Evans recovers from his Achilles injury he reclaims his spot at L guard and beats out Benson.
My guess is:
LT Smith
LG Lynch
C Coogan
RG Benson
RT Michalski
Benson has played primarily RG most of his career so I'd be surprised if they moved him... Coogan played well at C for 13 games at ND so that's where I expect to see him... Lynch was looking like our C before Coogan came aboard so it looks like he'll be moved over to G unless Evans comes back stronger and more flexible than ever when he gets back from his Achilles Injury Rehab...
On paper that lineup looks good...
Barrett and Fiacable have now had a couple of years under Bostad and Fiacable has been around for a while now. Assuming the depth sticks around, those are the type of depth guys you would like to have. You can never have too many good players but I am not worried about the OL. We have room for multiple injuries and can still be in good shape.Yes, those 6 look good with some ?? about Michalski. It seems likely that Bostad can work out the kinks with him.
But man we have no depth with Kidwell and Jones gone. Ajani, Barrett, and Leibfried only played in 3, 4, and 4 games respectively.. To anyone who has watched closely or has heard.....are Lawrence, Fiacable, and/or Verstegen depth possibilities? Of the 6, is Barrett the only one likely to get real time?
You have to think they'll look for another OL in the spring portal.
My wife and I have started the conversation of attending that game and traveling the Oregon coast for a week. There a bye just before that game. Plenty of time to take in the Pacific views.It should be one of the top lines in the conference with the returners and the additions!

I've begged my wife to plan a trip out west to no avail. Panama City Beach or bust for her!My wife and I have started the conversation of attending that game and traveling the Oregon coast for a week. There a bye just before that game. Plenty of time to take in the Pacific views.
