Ya but Bobby said during the signing day press conference that his intention was to operate with a 105 man roster. Now maybe he’s since changed his mind on that, but that is what he said as of February.

My impression was he said they would operate assuming 105 as a result of the opt-in decision not coming until later. The reporter's question was how are you going to deal with the roster given that the opt-in is out there in the future. So, I interpreted his response more as answering the reporter's question. In any event, assuming UM isn't opting in, UM certainly doesn't have to live with 105.
 
Or could it be that Bobby has a feeling about some of his own receivers leaving in this round of "Portal Ball"?

This was after Haslam had announced we weren’t going to opt in though.

So what? I'm not aware that UM has formally said anything to the ncaa on the subject. And the deadline keeps getting extended. And, as Hauck said in his interview, the rules keep changing. I believe the deadline for opting in is now in June. And I don't believe the judge has provided the final ruling yet. Things could change. Listen to the press conference and listen to the question and the response.

This is what Haslam said about Jan. 13. He actually didn't say directly that UM wouldn't opt in.

"I don't think we want to be the first ones to jump in to the opting in," Haslam said. "I see opting in coming from the schools at the Power Four level and the FBS level. There's no urgency for us to opt in. "Opting in only would change the roster sizes that we have and change whether or not we could revenue share. I don't see us being the first ones opting in."
 
I really like this add, but id like to see another DT to improve our depth and get someone to ensure we get pressure on the QB.

I like the add.

But, it's just window dressing.

Must address both lines to reach full program potential...not should, not could, MUST!

Agreed. I do think our d line may very well be shored up. Peavey and the Carroll kid solidify it tremendously, certainly can always use 1 more difference maker.

Offensive line... until we get back to having multiple 1st team all conference dudes up front offensively, I will always assume we are looking for portal additions there.

Bobby said in the press conference that they are always looking for more lineman, but I agree that the DL seems to have lots of nice-looking players, and some terrific news ads assuming everyone shows up.
 
I know I'm in the minority here, but we are now returning a solid line with some great size in the freshman class and good transfers. I'm ALWAYS happy to add more quality lineman, everything starts there on either side, but we are also returning guys with great experience in Klimczak, Panfiloff, Brown, and Botner. Johnson and Freitas appear to be great pieces to me. Add in the Tight Ends we have look like great size and ready to block.

Personally, and I know this is just all "subjective feel," I think that we have some real potential to already have our best line in the last few years.

I am with you here... absolutely. I'm bullish on the improvement at this position already. Just not proven still, so if they get an opportunity on bringing in a proven difference maker, I'm sure they will.

...I feel we have a few young All-American good OL on the team this year such as Big Dog Carter...

'Big Dog Carter?'
I'm assuming you're referring to Forrest Carter from out of Olympia, Washington. I heard that originally he committed to the Griz but seems to have evidently changed his commitment to Carroll College in Helena.

This kid is one to keep an eye on. Conference lineman of the year after playing QB/DL as a junior. Look at his QB stats. https://gogriz.com/sports/football/roster/matt-hilden/7796

Now - compare what your are imagining to schools that have won the natty in the past 10 years...

The bar is far higher than most think it is.
