Except for a few obvious guys in a recruiting class, it's extraordinarily difficult to project how a senior in high school will develop as an offensive lineman. It's very rare that an 18-19 year old can contribute immediately. It's almost unfair to expect them to come in and block guys who may have had years in a college S&C program. I'm not making excuses for anyone - that's just the reality of the situation.
I hate to say it, but I don't think it's going to be any better next season. I think we're going to have to bring in at least a couple of JUCO guys. We definitely can't let o line recruits get away in the hopes that we land a higher rated guy. We're way beyond the point of gambling on one recruit. If a 3 star honor roll kid with even a moderate amount of athletic ability and something to prove wants to commit, then sign him up. If that's all it takes to make a 4 or 5 star guy want to look elsewhere, that should be a huge red flag anyways.

My biggest problem is not the players...My biggest problem is players out of position and wiffing blocks. Getting whipped at the line of scrimmage is one thing...wiffing blocks and not being in the right position to make a block has ZERO to do with talent. It has everything to do with coaching however.
