Chen’s decision to transfer to Carolina will make him the team’s 13th new offensive lineman of the offseason. To go with three high school signees and a junior college addition, Chen will be the ninth transfer portal blocker to join new offensive line coach Randy Clements’ room.

I guess we will see if the portal is the way to build and OL. It is obvious recruiting highly rated HS kids didn't work.

Well, when you flush the entire existing line, at some point you simply need num ers to replace them.

We got the numbers, now its time to go to work.

It is a gamecock axiom that every time a coach is replaced, the previous coach was terrible. This site was full of praise for the great recruiting of OL talent the last few years.

We had great recruiting stats. They then fell flat when they hit the field. Imo, it was either coaching or evaluation at that point.

We're screwed. Everyone knows it takes years for an OL to gel.

Don't know how other teams do it. Maybe they use AI?

Have we heard about the injuries to the highly paid OL yet? Or is that just going to be a surprise in week one when they play or dont play?
