They are wanting to get guys with higher ceilings and higher rated. It's a waste of time and money to try and pull a lowly rated OL from Indiana. We are getting similar ranked or better guys now. Personally I do believe there are overlooked or undervalued OL and it's also an area where guys get over ranked as well. I think if we want to look at taking a next step on OL recruiting we can still get 1 project a year but the rest need to be very solid mid - upper 3 to low 4 star guys with some projectables. The problem is everybody covets those players as well. Even Bama takes a player like that on the OL most years.
But those guys aren't here... We have proven that the last 7 years..
We could find some quality OL out of state if we busted our ass..
We don't.. We have proved that the last 7 years with our OL recruiting..
In year 7 you shouldn't have to be converting a SR TE into being your starting LT..

But hey when a guy knows he is never in fear of losing his job, not as much pressure on him to recruit better...
