someone had posted earlier thanking everybody who is posting the tweets and I'd like to reiterate that...but if you know the names of any players in the tweets,(and it's not obvious already) could you include that? I've been racking my brain trying to figure out who Malc. Hendrix was.../obligatory get off my lawn/I hate twitter/ :angry:

Here is some OL commentary from FootbalBrainiacs -- http://texas.thefootballbrainiacs.com/2016/06/open-post-wednesday-june-14th/
– Player Note | Denzel Okafor: Outside of Zach Shackelford, if you asked me which freshman OL I would bet on to make an impact at in 2016. I’d tell you Denzel Okafor. Right now Okafor is 6’4 300 pounds and is going to get his first look this summer at right tackle. Okafor could also play guard, a position that former Texas OL coach Joe Wickline liked his upside at. Bottom line is that he can play at either position and that’s what Texas needs as they lack quality depth on the offensive line.
One thing Okafor has that you can’t teach is extremely long arms. In high school, he would use those to his advantage and just lock on the defender and take them down. His long wingspan is a reason I think OL coach Matt Mattox wants to get Okafor a look at OT. I still feel that Jean Delance has more NFL upside in the long run, but I’d still bet on Okafor to make a bigger impact as a true freshman as of today. – (Andrew)
– Offensive Line | My Take: As of today, I would say 4 of the 5 starting OL spots are pretty much locked down. With Connor Williams at at OT, Patrick Vahe at OG, Zach Shackelford at C, and Kent Perkins at either OT or OG. I’m still not sold on JUCO transfer Brandon Hodges just yet at the other guard spot. This past spring Hodges just didn’t have anyone who was going to push him for time on the field. That changes with freshman Tope Imade and the possibility of Denzel Okafor who could also play guard. Additionally, Kent Perkins natural position is guard, but due to lack of options he has played plenty of tackle. So, if Okafor or Delance can take over the right tackle position, they could bump Perkins back in at guard.
Then it all could change if Patrick Hudson ends up at Texas. I personally feel a redshirt year would be best for him (that’s what the Baylor staff planned to do with him in 2016). Obviously with a late enrollment it makes the likelihood of a redshirt even higher. But Hudson is a road grader at guard and is a tough guy to move. There also is the reality that there is a little more room for error at guard especially when you are as athletic as Hudson.

– UPDATE (7:31 pm): I just spoke with Erick Fowler. He let me know that he did receive his test scores today. He said he spoke to Texas today and based on those conversations he believes he is “good to goâ€. Fowler said that all that remains for him to do is to submit his final transcript to UT along with his test score. He noted that after hearing about his scores the Texas coaches were excited and expressed as much to him.
Fowler said he’s hopeful that he will be able to report sometime before the second summer session begins. All this comes straight from Erick so it certainly gives fans reason to feel optimistic. However, I would caution our readers to keep in mind that we have no access to any academic information so we are not able to independently verify anything. Additionally, we all saw what happened last year in the Lampkin situation.
There is reason to be optimistic but I’d save the confetti until the star linebacker is on campus. – (Super K)
