Should we have recruited more offensive linemen?

I only see two on the board. Is this a concern or are we good there?

Depends on who you ask. I think we needed another player or two, but we will stack them up next year.

I like to consider the brother for 2015 a plus even though it's next year.

Yes but the staff did bust their arse trying to get another olineman but it didn't happen

Feels like we signed a 5 star OT for next year today with a 4 star that will give us a serious look now as well by getting one of our commits..

Would have been good to get a couple more. It all depends on how many Jr's and RSSoph. leave over the next couple years.

ALL IN with OL next year. I wish we could have grabbed a OT this year.

More than we signed and less than what Bama signed is generally a good range for most OL classes

It would have helped the number for next year if we could have signed 1-2 more. Our quality of OL signees this year was fantastic, but quantity was down. Next year theyll need a big year (5-6), with a couple of guys being capable of early PT. Hopefully they can grab a JC OL or two next year along with 2-3 high schoolers.

We are going to rake in some talent next year. With Grimes on board and it being a huge need I could easily see 1 or 2 5* and a few 4* OL. I mean shite.. we already have 1 5* and 1 4* locked up basically.

We have depth, just no experience for 2015 if both Hawkins and Vadal decide to go. We probably go two more tackles and a guard or two giving us 5 for next year..

Holding Collins for another year helps with that a lot - we could have taken another OL, specifically an OT (or even 2) - but I think we're okay. I think we only lost 3 scholarship players off the line, one of which was Williford who didn't play at all in 2013.

While I am concerned about, specifically tackle, numbers - I'm happy with the overall depth and the returning experience of the starters.

We look to grab a big haul of linemen, 4 to 5, for 2015.

We'll be fine.

Collins is coming back but who is leaving early, Porter or Turner? Turner right?
