He could but we will need a center to replace Sam and Hainsey may be the best choice.

Well who else could it be but Hainsey? Gibbons? If it's not Hainsey/Gibbons, I don't think the future Center is on the roster, which means he'd have to come in the 2018 class.
Or does Harry poach a grad transfer?
That's the way I see it as well.

Eichenberg is unquestionably a tackle. Next year, we're most likely seeing a pairing of Eichenberg and Kraemer at the tackle spots. Interior is a mystery though. Best case, Bars and Mustipher return for 5th year they start at RG and C and Banks/Hainsey at LG. If not, then Banks, Hainsey and ??? inside. Guard and Center have suddenly become worrisome.

Don't talk in definitives. HH likes to make fun of people who do. See Q and Bars.

Q and Bars were both hybrid guys though. Both could play Guard or Tackle. That's what made them great. Eichenberg's best qualities lie in his range and hands, which along with his 6'6 frame, make him a prototypical tackle. He's not the mauler that Q or Bars are.

Yeah that's easy to say now but if you go back and look at the start of their threads, no one mentions Bars as an OG and only Koon brought up Q projecting as an OG. Both were confirmed by the services as being recruited as OT's, not swings like Hainsey or a recruit like Banks who was rated as an OT but was openly recruited by ND as an OG.
Guard and center are hardly worrisome.

I actually prefer Kramer at OG. A pairing of Banks and Kramer at OG is exciting.
Maybe a scenario of Liam, Kramer, Hainsey, Banks, Lugg

Saw this clip posted and was really surprised how much this guy shaped his body in 1 year. Looks like an absolute monster.

If so, good for him. Was very impressed with his tape coming* out of HS. The guy has no mercy for humanity.

Yeah, I heard the same thing. He was even in the running for an OG spot or this year.
Just pointing out if they could move him inside where many thought he might end up anyways, it would open the door to get both Banks & Lugg on the field in '19. Hoping for as many 6-6 / 315-325 lineman as I can find now that there's a full sized QB in the pipeline.

Better start praying for St. Roch to intervene on behalf of Aaron's knees.

Saint Rocco damn it
I always thought he was the patron saint of dogs, and bachelors? Now the patron set of cut and chop blocks?
