Buc, I'm 43 years old. Remember the old Falcons back in the Bartkowski days? remember the 1980 12-4 team? They had Mike Kenn, RC Thielmann, and a couple years later Bill Fralic--all 1st round picks.
Look at the Steelers and Eagles and Ravens-all teams that manage to stay good each year-they always take OLmen early in the draft.
Guess my point is, football is won on the line of scrimmage , barring turnovers, 85% of the time.
Your responses got me to thinking. maybe I'm missing someone, but wasn't Max Gean Gilles the last 5 star OLmen we recruited????????
Tell you what I would prefer. If I had the chance to take two 5 stars OTackles and a 3 star QB, or a 5 star QB and two 3 star OTackles, I'll take the OTackles each time.
Remember Andre Smith at bama?
I may be wrong, and if anyone knows, please correct me, but do we have a true 4 star OL commit? I know one who is a 3/4 star depending on which service you ho to. I know we don't have any 5 stars.
So, if that UCF game was the reason, what does that say about us?
