Kahlil McKenzie - DT - 5* - 100
Kyle Phillips - DE - 5* - 98
Shy Tuttle - DT 4* - 97
Darrel Taylor - DE - 4* - 92
Quay Picou - DT - 4* -90
Andrew Butcher - DE - 4* - 90
Marques Ford - DE - 3* - 89 (rumored to be bumped to 4* after dominating at UA)
I think it Rivals UF's class in with Floyd and Easley and those freaks.
Thoughts from the Rant?

UF 09, I think, was very strong.

Very strong DL class for sure. Y'all will be hell to block for the next few years.
How have y'all recruited on the o-line recently?

Very very good. Didn't y'all take 4-5 DL last year? That's some really good depth on that unit.

Isn't Butcher the white twig from Georgia that talked shite about Alabama?
If so, we are one in the same.

Johnathan Ledbetter - 4* - 95
D'Andre Walker - DE - 4* - 94
Natrez Patrick - DE - 4* - 94
Michael Barnett - DE - 4* - 93

Have no idea how he is a 3*. Dominated against good competition in Gwinnett County last year. He was unblockable.

Not as good by the numbers, but I will say it seems like OL don't get the love that DL do in terms of star rankings.
This is what we will have on the Oline in 2015.
2015
Jack Jones - OT - 4* - 94
Zach Stewart - OG - 3* - 89 (4* on Rivals)
Venzell Boulware - OG- 3* - 88 (4* on Rivals)
Chance Hall - OT - 3* - 88
Still pushing for 4* Pat Allen and Tyree St. Louis at OT
2014
Dontavious Blair - OT - 4* - 93 (RS in 14)
Charles Mosley - OG - 4* - 92 (RS in 14)
Jashon Robertson - OG - 3* - 88 (started every game in 14)
Coleman Thomas - C - 3* - 86 (started a lot of games at RT due to injuries and he's not cut out at T)
Ray Raulerson - OT - 3* - 85
2013
Austin Sanders - OT - 3* - 89 (hasn't panned out yet)
Dylan Wiesman - OG - 3* - 85 (played a lot but not started much, coaches like him)
Brett Kendrick - OT - 3* 84 (looked capable at times this year, seems to be in coaches dog house for some reason though)
2012
Oh yea, Dooley didn't think recruiting OL was important.
0!!!!!
2011
Marcus Jackson - 4* OT - 91 - (Started all games but 1 due to injury at LG out best OL)
Kyler Kerbyson - 3* OT - 87 (started at both T spots for us all year, not that great)
Mack Crowder - 3* - C - 87 (Starting C, smart guy just way undersized)

Woefully underrated. Dude was probably the best defensive player in Gwinnett County this year

Yes, but he ain't a twig. He's going to be good.

OL should be loaded with upper-classmen right now if it wasn't for Fooley.

He is the 3rd best DL in the UGA class behind TT and Ledbetter. JMHO, but the guy dominated Gwinnett County

Both will be All-SEC guys. I am very, very impressed with Phillips. He has all of the tools to be dominant to go along with that relentless motor. The Vols are loading up on that DL.

Y'all have depth at d line. How is your o line lookin

No doubt it is very good on paper. I don't have the data with me but I know Texas, USCw, and Florida State had some amazing DL classes over the last 30 years.
I can't remember what year it was but Florida State landed the nations top three defensive lineman in the country the same year and they all three dominated and had long pro careers.
