Recruiting Gurus - Don't we need to sign some OL & DL
Jul 3, 2013, 11:44 AM

I love all these high powered wr's guys we are signing but if we are following the mid 80s Miami model, they had top notch OL and DL guys as well. We signed several OL in 12 but I only see 2 last year and we have one committed this year.
BTW, not a glass half empty guy. Hard not to be excited about the talent Dabo goes and finds. Players and coaches

don't quote me but I'm pretty sure next year is the next OL heavy class. The staff will get one or 2 they really like each year and then they'll get 4 to 5 every 3 years I think.

Because we had such a big oline class we have had to be

more selective. Hearns is a good prospect and Donnel Stanley is a bad man and we are still after him. We only lose 2 after next season and we've had some movement from dline to oline the past few years. As far as dline I think we are stacked up at DT but DE still needs a few players. 2-3 per class means 8-10 on the roster which I think is a good number. Lawson, Ebo, and Rogers last season and hopefully Carter, Street, Williams, Featherston, and/or Leanard this year. I'm hoping we get 3 of those guys. Basically I'm saying I think the numbers are good we just aren't getting as many high profile guys so it doesn't seem that way.

we've had many good ones recently and sent several to NFL. Yet this year we've missed on several we want. I guess it is just recruiting going in cycles because we seem to be doing well on it overall

Shaq Lawson was the #1 prep player last year at SDE and Ebo was the #10 WDE both according to rivals. We are in really good shape this year on the top notch guys I mentioned above. Goodman didn't really pan out and Barnes was a 4 star but hasn't done much yet. Crawford was another high end recruit and he's just starting to come into his own. We just had a slight gap because Bowers left early and Goodman didn't pan out.

At capacity on both lines. There's not a senior on the DL 3 deep.

1 more O-line and as many as 3 guys on the D-line (but probably 2)

Only 2 seniors on both lines are Shatley and Thomas. Signed

10 offensive linemen in 2011 and 2012. Plus Pagano may end up being moved to OG. Similar defensive line numbers in 2011 and 2012 with a few delaying their entry til 2013 by going to prep school.
