2013- Guesstimated OL starting line up

I need somebody smarter than me to help me out with who will even be competing for the 3 interior lineman positions for 2013.....I just read an article on Rivals saying Braden was in line for a guard position as all the coaches appear high on the kid. I know anything can change, but Im just looking for a 1 deep guesstimate if everything works out without problems. I dont even know the entire OL roster we have, besides the big boys from 2012-2013 classes....Im sure there are even a few peeps on here that could guess a 2 deep line up.....If you dare, go ahead. 
 
I just wanna talk Michigan football, and this is a very interesting group to me, and im sure others too.
 
LT          LG                C         RG         RT
Lewan   Braden??    ???     ???        Schofield?
(Duhh)
 
Im sure Kalis, Magnuson will be in the mix, who is primed to be starting center? I have no clue.   

They said Braden has grown to 6-6 308lbs and its all good weight.....said he looked sculpted....Man, we got some big kids coming in!!

LT - Lewan
LG - Kalis
C - Miller
RG - Bryant
RT. - Schofield

Magnuson (LT) and Braden (RT) will probably backup the tackles and I just don't know about the other guys yet. Burzynski and Bars will get a chance to compete too.

Go Blue!!

Ahh, Miller at Center, I forgot about him......So we got some pretty solid senior book ends at least.....Hopefully Bryant comes back 100%, I cant remember, but I believe he had a knee injury of some sort?
 
So, with that line up, we would only have one Freshman starting out at LG position. At least he will be next to an AA LT that can help with calls/adjustments pre snap.

MY best guess is:
 
LT - Taylor Lewan
LG - Kyle Kalis
C - Jack Miller/Joey Burzynski
RG - Chris Bryant
RT - Michael Schofield
 
I'm sure that Braden, Magnuson, Bars, Gunderson & Mateus could all see significant playing time, depending on how the others do!

Bryant is a wildcard because I don't know how he's recovering from his injury or if he'll be able to participate in spring practice. If he misses spring practice, he could fall behind on the depth chart.

FR Bosch and Tully-Tillman enrolled early so they will get a taste of the action too but I don't expect them to be competing for a starting spot but they could see time because of our lack of depth.

Go Blue!!

Thought Bryant had fully recovered from his injury, Scottsdale...my bad.
 
Agree...Bosch & LTT could see some time but a bit nervous about putting true freshmen OL in the "heat of battle" for any period of time...though, it sounds like both are already physicially-ready to handle the rigors! 

Who would be your prediction if Bryant is not ready to go then? Pretend like Bryant isnt even available.....
 
It appears everybody is sold on Kalis being the LG starter? Who do you think will be his back up?
 
Who do you think will be backing up Lewan and Schofield? I know, its silly early for this but, like I said, just a guess.

I'm thinking Burzynski will be the #1 backup at C & LG and starting RG, if Bryant is not ready/available...spreading him a little thin, unless the freshman come through
 
I see Gunderson & Braden backing up Schofield at RT & Magnuson backing up Lewan at LT...
 
Of the freshmen class, I can see Dawson, Bosch & LTT making the depth chart at OG & OT, respectively...maybe, even Kugler, but only if Miller struggles & Bryant is not recovered

Wfan07, u certainly know ur sh*t on the OL......very impressive.
 
Would u argue me if I said my gut feeling was Braden started RG, even over Bryant? Coaching staff appears really high on this kid, hes gained the weight they asked, and im sure he can compete at least for the position. What do u think?
 
Also, i cant wait to see your posts on my future "DL guesstimation" thread!
 
(I just wanna talk football)

Thanks, jsj_297...just try to stay informed but sure there's other posters who know more, lol.
 
Yes, I've heard that Braden is very highly thought of...and, as long as he has a strong camp, I'm fine with him. I've also heard great things about Bryant but it's all about whoever is playing the best...that's all I care about.
 
I know the season ended a month ago but REALLY miss football...though, signing day is a week away 

I feel like I have one more week of Michigan football because even without Brady in the super bowl, we still have an ex Michigan QB in the superbowl! 
 
The anticipation for the 2013 & 2014 seasons for me is so high mainly because of the superb OL talent we are stockpiling. I love knowing that in the upcoming seasons, we will have an OL that is second to none (hopefully). We will have 2 solid bookends, that will be able to help out the younger Guards with presnap adjustments and assignments and this will speed up the learning curve imo. 

LT- Lewan, Magnuson
LG- Kalis, Burzynski
C- Miller, Kugler
RG- Bryant, Magnuson, Bars
RT- Schofield, Braden
 
Freshman projections- LTT is a LT, Dawson, Fox, and Sameulson are guards, Kugler center, and Bosch at RT.

Bosch enrolling early is very interesting. Normally freshmen linemen are an automatic redshirt but most don't show up till fall and aren't physically ready to play. He's played tackle all HS life but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Would not shock me to him in the mx at one of the guard spots.

Bosch and LTT coming in early.....Both 305+ two big kids coming in early. Both highly ranked OL. im not complaining!!

LTT is enrolled now but I think he's got more work to do so I expect him to redshirt.

Bosch is/was like Kalis last year so we'll see if he can crack the 2-deep.

Go Blue!!

LTT NEEDS his redshirt year. It's great that he's coming in early though.

Oh ok, didn't realize that. It's strange I follow recruiting pretty close at times, but I stil don't get a full picture on the kids. Why does LTT need his RS year? (I know to get an extra year) I'm assuming technique, cause the kid has the size.

Oh yeah, 4life, why ain't u put your 2 deep up? You're was the one I was anticipating most.
