Austin Sheppard 2010 multi-year starter (looks like)
Ryan Kelly 2011 multi-year starter
Isaac Luatua 2011 hasnt done anything yet
Caleb Gulledge 2012 Gone
Brandon Hill 2012 and 2013 Gone
Leon Brown 2013 Started some games last year, may be a starter this year
Bradley Bozeman 2013 backup so far


So not counting 2014 recruits who didnt go through spring (only counting Cam Rob because he looks like the starter), we have taken 4 5-star, 8 4-star, and 14 3-star OL (13 4-star if you count 2014 recruits who havent gone through fall camp yet). so roughly as many 3 star as 4 star and 5 star together.

of the 5-star 3 of 4 are starters, 75%
of the 4-star 3 of 8 are starters, 37%
of the 3-star 6 of 14 are starters, 43%

so our 5 stars pan out mostly,and out 3 stars pan out at a slightly higher clip than our 4 stars up to this point. thats going to change when all the 2014 OL start contributing. we took 6 OL in 14,all of which are 4 star or above. looking though this, we really rode the 2009 OL class to a lot of success. Im hoping the 2014 class is the same way
