Lack of Offensive Line Recruits

[Evil King Snake]

Pounds and Parker. Problem solved.

Gotta have top notch big uglies every year.
Few 18 year old high school linemen can compete against 4th and fifth year redshirt d-linemen.

We have some solid targets still on the board. But what I worry about is vq mentioned taking 2 more OL. Given last year’s OL class wasn’t great, I worry about only adding 3 guys this season.

 

[Vol8188]

I think they put some people on the wrong side.

Edit: in the wrong spots in general.

I think the last thing we can question this coaching staff on is recruiting

You have a point.

Last year's OL class wasn't great ? Really ? I have to disagree with u on that statement. Morris and Wright were 5 stars or damn close and both became starters

That wasn’t last years class. I mean the guys who will be freshmen

My bad. Cade makes last year's class look a little better, tho.

I can see that one might think last years class wasn’t the best and sure wasn’t flashy but those guys we got aren’t necessarily gonna be an instant impact but give them a year in our S&C and they will be maulers. (Spraggins in particular)

You may be right and I hope you are.

Last year was a very good haul, but they all look like interior OL to me. Need 3 tackles this class, and at least one of them needs to be a Wanya Morris/Darnell Wright level player. That’s said, Chaney knows OL.
