I understand being concerned, but as you said, there is still a whole bunch of time between now and the beginning of the season. I believe that if Shanny/BA wanted/needed Pashos bad enough, we would have gotten him.

Is it possible, albeit scary, that Foerester and the Shanhans have enough confidence in the guys already here to make a respectable oline?

Time will tell.
