"We're out on the waiver wire," McElwain said Thursday. "So, if you know of anybody. Any of you guys want to go, let's go. We've got a crew of six guys coming in that, as I've explained to them, it's not like you're going to stand in line at Disney World, you's in the Fast Pass line. You're on the ride right now. It's going to be a huge summer for them, and really summer for the guys teaching them because the coaches obviously can't be there. They need to spend as much time, and those older guys need to do a great job of leadership to get those guys up to speed because sheer numbers there's going to be guys playing. So who that is, you know we've got to get them schooled-up and ready to roll."

Basically, McElwain won't say no if the right O-lineman transfer situation pops up. He said he tried the JUCO route and recruited a few of those guys before the spring but were not able to get them in as good fits.


"You really don't know because the only way that can really ever happen is if a guy graduates, and then we're able to get him in school, into a graduate program. And usually in the O-line that's one of those that I don't think you see very often in that realm. You can spread the word, maybe somebody can do that. But we have spots, so obviously I wouldn't say no."
