The Big Blue Wall rebuild is well underway

Whew, that was a day and a half. It is pretty clear from the sheer number of visitors that Will Stein is going to really prioritize the offensive and defensive lines. That is a good sign for a program that has been at its best when the physicality has been at its highest. The Big Blue Wall may never be the same as it was during John Schlarman's days, but it can be a unit that is nasty and physical. That is what it is going to take for Will Stein to succeed in year 1 in Lexington.

Sam Leavitt, or whoever ends up under center for Kentucky, will need a sturdy line to stand behind. The fact that Mitchell and Baxter are also lined up gives you an idea of what Will Stein looks for in skill guys: speed.
