Agree about Watt ... I think that ND will be serious competition.
If Watt goes elsewhere, then the staff might still look to John Martinez (official visit scheduled for The Game) as the fifth OL (assuming that both Longo and Hall are "in", along with Mewhort and Linsley).

Exactly what came to my mind...we wanted either Jenkins or Long last year, didn't get them, and now we take 5 this year. As I mentioned in '09 recruiting, when you look at the depth chart, I believe it makes sense. Furthermore, we already have a ton of DB's in this class, and to me it makes more sense to offer an OL, especially when you get a quick commit from a stud like Longo. Also agree on the situation with Watt and Martinez. I personally think we get Watt, but I could as easily see him going to ND. I want Watt but Martinez would be far from a consolation prize.
