***** Top Offensive Linemen 2012 (8/8/12)

Post by HRC Paul »

This is like the DL, just thick with talent. Input more than welcome, gentlemen. This is early in the year, so I won't split up S from CB yet. This is going to be an ongoing shuffle, more art than science, between now and the end of the season. Gotta start somewhere.

Please add any names that should be here.

Thank you, Kapakahi. Which of the four linemen would you have in the Top 10 (and where)?

No real opinion on where they rank.....just that they all probably belong among the top 20 or so.

I see big things from Colin Ka'alele. He trained with Chad Ikei and from the grapevine Ive heard he has made huge improvements by dropping weight and picking up great footwork.

Donʻt see too much lineman from the ILH. I would add to the list Tyman Hayashi from Pac-5 and Jacob Lewis from Damien

Add Louis Vailopa (Saint Louis) as a returning starter.

Thank you. Would you add them to the Top 10? Or below that?

Do you think he's in the vicinity of Top 10 O-linemen?

I would put Tyman Hayashi at top 10 or on the list definetly. He was a starter since his sophmore year and 2nd team all conference ILH last year. Other than Koehler, Tyman is the only ILH 2nd team all-star. Everyone else is gone and Jesse Kaluhiokalani was the other 2nd team all-star, but he is hurt and might not play this year. If he was healthy, I would have put him in also.

Mitchell Boyd and Colin Ka'alele belong somewhere in the top ten Ka'alele has improved a whole lot this past off-season he is much faster off the ball and can get down field from what i've seen in his last two scrimmages.
Also they both have started since there sophomore year.
