A little surprised to read Palma isn't in the mix to take Skov's ILB spot, but good to see Noor Davis is.
If the OL is already set, this shapes up to be potentially the most talented one in Stanford history. Whether it performs the best as a unit remains to be seen, but you have to think Hogan is going to enjoy some amazing protection in 2014.
+1 on oline. sounds like RG will be the iffy spot. our OTs should be very good.
