It's really no big deal if Cooper doesn't qualify. It sounds like he is at the point where if he doesn't make it he can go to a prep school and then sign again next year with 5 to play 4. If we can sign 5+ solid guys in the 2018 class, I think we will be in pretty decent shape going forward, numbers wise.

On the JUCO OL recruiting... If you don't like it, you probably just need to get over it. Mullen has signed 8 JUCO OL since 2010(if you include Carmon). That's one a year on average. Most of them were just depth guys, and I'm ok with that to balance the classes. Let's try to stay away from the Joq Johnson, Dylan Holley and Joey Trapps of the world though.

Anyone with eyes can tell that we need to recruit more talented guys on the offensive line. The offensive line has the most guys on the field out of any position group, yet it's the only position, other than safety, that hasn't had a guy signed by Mullen get drafted(Gabe Jackson was a Croom recruit). Hevesy is clearly the problem here, and if I am a offensive line recruit, I would probably stay away too. My point was only that we will be ok numbers wise, talent wise, however, is a different story. Going into next year, Suggs, Champion, Moon, Rankin, Cooper, Reese and D. Williams will be the only guys on our roster that could have legitimately signed at another P5 school. Need to double that number.
