I wonder how our recruiting will be affected. I'm hoping we
Can pick up some big time recruits with the publicity.

I'm worried about a Merry Flipmas now. Those bastards got a shot in the arm last night and I expect the money men to start shelling it out in the spirit of the season.

For some reason, the Egg Bowl doesn't ever sway recruits one way or the other. And the only current commits I see them attempting to sway are Champion and Washington. We just need to keep pursuing Lewis. I think he knows we need him now.

Certainly very disappointed in our no star OL yesterday. Arkansas and LSU pummeled OM running between the tackles but we certainly couldn't. Of course we still had enough offense to win if our D had actually shown up yesterday. Gave up 532 yards with no Treadwell and an immobile Wallace. We didn't get pressure on Wallace nor did we have much coverage in the secondary. I was wondering exactly where the bulk of our defenders were on a lot of plays.

Stars matter on the OL more than anywhere else. You can't teach the size/athletic combo. OL crootin is not where you go for diamonds in the rough. These guys have to be solid.

100% incorrect. It's the hardest of the positions to evaluate talent.. Yeah there are the 5* that are no brainners, but other than those it's the hardest to determine just how good they will be at the college level..

I didn't necessarily mean that their scout ratings matter more but like you said that the evaluating and getting the best is most important here. Think Templton Hardy and Damien Robinson. You can't 17 up the O Line and be very successful.
