Why do we continue to recruit 3 star lineman?

Why can’t we recruit some 5 stars?

Because some 3 stars are studs and some 5 stars are bust. Stop star gazing. Watch film and make your own assessment.

Offensive linemen are about the toughest thing to project.
In the 2014-2015 classes, 4 guys were 5-star OTs. 3 of them went undrafted.
Meanwhile, an unranked guy who was about 220 pounds in high school, and played QB, walked on at Alabama STATE as a TE, switched over to OT eventually, after 5 years is now a 1st round draft pick at OT.
1st round OT draft picks this year:
Williams - 5-star
Dillard - low 3-star
Howard - 0-star
McGary - low non Top 247 4-star

What a shitty arse thread, and I don’t even need to explain why.

You think the staff isn’t trying to go after the best lineman?

5-Stars are no guarantee either, see Willie Allen who was the #2 OT in the country.

Lineman are almost impossible to project.
See 5* Freak Johnson, 5* Frank Herron, 5* Maea Teuhema, 5* Gerald Willis, #1 JUCO OT, Badara Traore, and the list goes on and on..

Worst thing about this thread. This jackass comes on here and a ya like he knows everything about star ratings, then doesn’t make any further comment when proved wrong

shut up
you think we are only recruiting 3 stars? no.
we have a couple 4 star OL committed as well
There is a new thread asking the same question every day.
We could easily end with
4* OT Marcus Dumerville
4* OT Cortland Ford
4* C Sedrick Van Pran
4* OG Miller Merriweather-Lewis
3* OG Marlon Martinez

Deculus was a 5 star

103 three star players were drafted this year. More than 4-5 stars. Shut up and stop bitching.

Well, your team's recruiting philosophy can't be based on getting 5 stars at every position. You have to hit on some hidden gems to be championship caliber. That takes good talent evaluation.
