Remaining Offensive Line Recruiting

It goes without saying that the offensive line will be rebuilding next season, and hopefully we can close the 2014 recruiting cycle with a few more offensive linemen. In the best case scenario, some of these guys will be able to contribute and provide depth immediately. They certainly have the size.

What do you all think about these guys, and who do you think we have a good shot at moving forward?

Committed:

Tyrel Smith 6'4, 285
Mike Arnold 6'5 280
Fred Johnson 6'6 301

Targets:

D'Andre Plantin 6'5 277 (seems positive with him..anyone have any insight?)
Kenny Thomas 6'6 330 (seems positive here too...I believe we are his first Official Visit)
Emmanuel McGirt (just saw on 247 he has an official visit coming up...can't hurt..4-star kid)
Matthew Burrell (never lists us in his top lists, but he does appear to enjoy the trips he has taken to Blacksburg...seems unlikely though)
Barnabas Baning (does this kid have an offer?...I know he has visited and seemed to enjoy it. Can't find much on him. I've also seen him listed anywhere between 6'2 and 6'5).
Riley Metheny 6'4 280 (visiting Thursday night for Miami...from Clearwater, Florida).

I also saw an article that we just offered a Fork Union kid? Anyone know anything about this?

Potential 2015 Depth Chart:

LT: Parker Osterloh, Braxton Pfaff, Colt Pettit, Fred Johnson,
LG: Wyatt Teller, Alston Smith, Tyrel Smith,
C: Eric Gallo, Kyle Chung, Jack Willenbrock,
RG: Augie Conte, Adam Tarashke, Billy Ray Mitchell,
RT: Jonathan McGlock, Wade Hansen, Mike Arnold,

Hopefully Eric Gallow / Kyle Chung are ready to play at the center spot. If Parker Osterloh isn't ready at a tackle spot, does Wyatt Teller or Augie slide outside? Regardless, the offensive line depth chart will probaby be competetive next year and hopefully turn into a strength by the 2016 national championship run.
