I've mentioned it before, but we are in such an odd roster cycle along the OL. Hutson, Goosby, Neto, Cojoe, Chatman, Robertson and Campbell are all in at least their 3rd year in the program, but a handful of them are pretty much complete unknowns.
I wonder if Neto or Baker (or Cojoe) would have bounced to the portal if the staff brought in another proven player at guard or tackle. That trade-off may have helped us in the short run, but we would still be facing the same depth questions we have today.
The 2022 OL class was awesome, but choosing to only take 3 true tackles (Goosby, Payton Kirkland and Baker) in the 2023 and 2024 classes is hurting us badly right now. Chatman and Cojoe felt like coinflips to stick at tackle if everything went right with their development. It was pretty well known heading into the 2023 season that Banks was going to be 3-and-done, Agbo was going to struggle to ever get on the field here, and Williams was a promising wildcard with the potential to be a 3-year player. That should have increased the urgency to get another tackle or two in the pipeline in the 24/25 classes.
I don't think many programs are walking around with amazing tackle depth in the era we are in, but we do feel a guy or two thinner than we should be, and I would probably say that even if Cojoe were healthy.
