1auburn1 1,120 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 No offense but someone showing up at his high school in full ornithilogical plumage is NOT the kind of Yella Fella we need at the moment! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autan 737 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 It's not over until it's over. But unless I'm missing something, it's not looking good right now for OL recruiting. in the last couple of months were riding high with a lot of high profile recruits in for OVs. Maybe we set our sights too high, but looks we may even strike out with the 3* offensive linemen. Are we still suffering from fallout from the last four or five years. Maybe we're overreacting. I'm sure CDHF would like to start off with a big dog to set the tone for a strong OL class. Come on guys. Bring 'em in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WDE_OxPx_2010 5,297 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 This staff finished strong last year with OL recruiting, have a top 10 OL coach employed with an NFL lifer as an analyst, and has 13ish games to prove the goods. We'll be fine. It's only June. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autan 737 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 It's a little unsettling to depend on a couple of flips in Dec. to salvage our OL class. And of course there's always the transfer portal. Those may be the our two best options this year . If we have a significantly better than expected year on the field, those could be very rewarding options and it would also greatly enhance recruiting for '25 class, to insert a positive spin. Let's keep the faith. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll chase the 4 and 5 stars hard, and put less emphasis on project OLs. Why spend 2 or 3 years developing a guy who may or may not pan out and transfers once the slightest bit of difficulty appears? I think we'll be filling out our OL with mostly transfers until we can start pulling these bluechip guys. There will be the occasional 3 star that's overlooked by the sites that we'll take. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, I hope that is not Freeze's philosophy. There are plenty of lower rated guys out there who can play in the SEC at offensive line. The position is so hard to accurately project that quantity is your friend. I want to see 4 or 5 high school guys enroll every year. Take the best guys you can get but keep the numbers up no matter what. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHF was adamant about keeping the numbers up! He will have his number (I think it was 16 or 17) OL. His preference is to get them from HS, but as we saw, he will gladly pillage the portal if needed. It looks like we’ll get the opportunity to see what he does when he misses on several of his first preferences from HS. Will he go heavier on projects from HS or heavier in the portal? My guess is a pretty good balance of both. Also, that may be why CHF is stocking up on LS. They’re the most important OL anyway.
