We have to be able to go head to head with Bama or whomever and win the recruiting war on these guys to gain needed cred as a recruiting force.

I agree on the recruiting angle you mention, and we definitely need to win some big battles against the big boys( especially in state kids). But I feel out greatest need(whether he is a lock to us or not) is OL
