So it basically appears we swapped out our offense for USF's...maybe with a little less on the line. Doubt it could be that much worse...I think. How's the portal tradeoff looking on defense?

Bringing in the USF guys is fine for depth, but also a sign to me that we are striking out on other guys and the USF lineman are the back up plan.

I hope you’re right. There are proven P4 OTs and pass rushers out there that need to come hAUme!

Yes, it looks like we’re getting our asses handed to us in OL recruiting by… Kentucky of all people. They’ve signed like 3 or 4 of the top 10 OL in the portal. Smfh

Kentucky has been dropping some serious money on this portal class.

Looks like UK is handing everyone their asses, not just AU, when it comes to high profile OL recruiting. Our "all world" OL we bought for 2025 sucked out loud. I am fine going into the season with some USF guys on the OL.

Have you considered that we decided he wasn't worth whatever Kentucky decided to pay him?

shite, why didn't OHIO STATE just pay him to stay? The fact that they just let him leave clearly indicates that even they thought he wasn't worth whatever his asking price was.

This guy is not a "give him a blank check and pay him whatever he wants" type talent.

Yep, they've now signed 6 OL, 3 of which are 4*. Will Stein is not playing around.

Our OL is not in a position to be getting cheap.Either we pay for good players or we get scraps.

Because they recruit 4 and 5 stars every year and probably have another stud ready to go behind him. Similar to us letting Woodyard go because the rest of the LB room is good.

We didn't go to a bowl game, so not really sure where else you'd rank us

Will you comfort yourself with this when we go through another season of racking up Ls and having other teams set program sack records against us?

Could it have something to do with our OL Coach being about 2 years older than the players he’s recruiting?

It’s beginning to look like others are inflating the value of OL and AU Isn’t going along with it so we are left holding our large bag of money.
