If he can step in and start then he is a take. Im not sure the need is as much at guard as it is at tackle.
The other thing to consider, 4-5* flame outs from Bama are no longer good enough. I thought ole boy from Lsu would step in and contribute after shirting here. Havent heard a thing from him. We havent had the success Bama has had obviously in our recent years. I think we are in a place now where a kid that cant hack it at Bama, wont hack it here either.
Anyways, I know there are exceptions to the rules . . .
