Wow! We just can't seem to catch a break on OL recruiting this year.


Its only the end of June. Still a lot of time left in the recruiting cycle. Im sure the staff still has a number of names out there throughout the nation that are still skilled and will fit our offense

Not many on our radar though. Laremy Tunsil is staying south, Kaleil Rodgers is a guard, and Findley is a guard as well. This is a really weird recruiting cycle. Other coaches had been recruiting for the 2013 class longer, and had a leg up on UFM. New names have to emerge this year during the senior season for OL players of tOSU caliber. Urban should be able to get more OL guys for 2014 though.

I thought he was going to play inside at the next level, by his film. If you think otherwise, I'll defer to your better judgement. In any case, my point is this is a very weird recruiting situation where all OL players have chosen schools this early. I think new players have to emerge for the staff to offer scholarships based on their senior film.

I see a VERY raw tackle. Amazing wingspan and great feet...just needs a lot of work and will need some time in the gym.

It's possible the O-line recruits Michigan grabbed triggered a domino effect in the top guys and next level down.

I'd sure love to land Dorian. Personally it was hard enough to handle his verbal to Ped State but loosing him to Pitt or WVU will be rough too. Why wouldn't he be interested in a NC run and be encouraged by the lack of OL commits in this class/depth currently?
