So we'll have 7 guys with significant game experience going into next season. Nwigwe, Jimenez, and Tanoai all have a lot of potential but came this year not physically ready to play, due to being too young or too recently a missionary. Hicks was 6'3 285 in HS (IIRC) and will be on the team for Spring camp, so he should have time to get back into playing weight and okay shape. Hoyt will likely add quite a bit of weight as well.
IOW, the 2nd string next year will look VERY different from this year's group.
