Woulda liked to see a ready-to-play JC or portal OT (if Hall not signing; to replace last season's top 3 OTs Manning, Hopp & Vanterpool) and a couple of JC or portal TEs (since none signed yet; to replace Phillips, Murray & Borden).

Is Hall definitely not signing with us?

Re: Late Signing Period
Sorry, I see 4 pretty good sized offensive linemen in this class. Is that not enough? I know more would be welcome.

Re: Late Signing Period
Atkins should be a plug-n-play OT but the other 3 OT signees are more developmental (down-the-road) guys probably not counted on to play right away this coming 2024 season. Pelling has only played 3 seasons of organized football while Jackson-Carter will be a true frosh out of HS. Also Maugaleo'o is slated to greyshirt so isn't scheduled to join the roster until Spring 2024.
Based on UH's numerous offers to JC OTs (Barajas, Bell, Carter, Clairborne, Iheanachor, Komolafe, Kruize, Moelo, Obobi, Pole, Stanback, Tine, Unamba) and to portal OTs (Fugar, Nnanna, Starck, Wilder), UH obviously was looking for another ready-to-play OT (in addition to Atkins)....and probably still are....now that Hall signed with UAB.

Re: Late Signing Period
In addition to another portal or JC OT, I wouldn't be surprised if a TE is brought in.

At its base, the run-and-shoot is a four-wide scheme in which routes are chosen depending on the defensive coverage. In many plays, this UH offense will use a tight end in place of one of the receivers. The hope is a tight end, similar to those employed in the NFL, will help the run game with in-the-box blocking or creating mismatches against nickel corners.
The Warriors have five tight ends on the spring roster: Devon Tauaefa, Landon Sims, Greyson Morgan, Kila Kamakawiwo‘ole and Kalani Kamakawiwo‘ole. Tauaefa is a converted wideout. Sims’ father, Travis, was a standout running back on the Warriors’ 1992 Holiday Bowl team. Morgan is recovering from an injury and will not participate in contact drills. The Kamakawiwo‘ole brothers are moving from linebacker. Their father, Kila, is a former UH defensive end.
