re: Think we finish with the SEC top class now?

We might finish with the most points, but it won't be that great a class if we don't get more offensive linemen. That's where games are won.
Many yahoos will chime in saying that we have enough olinemen right now. But right now isn't what you recruit for. With olinemen, you recruit mostly for three seasons out. Will we have enough olinemen then?
This is the exact scenario playing out that occurred with Dline a couple of years ago. At the time no one seemed worried because it wasn't a position of need. We had Gilmore, Bain, Heron, Valentine and Lacouture from the previous year. We could afford to skip a year. Now look at us.
The dlinemen we recruit this year better be ready to play in 2017, because we'll have nothing else. And before you tell me how great they're going to be, look at that list above. That was a better group than this one, on paper. Only one of those guys was ready as a sophomore.

We took 5 OL last year and will take 3 this year, that's plenty.

Savage, Campbell, and (likely) Allen + possibly one more.
Given the last class, I'd say 3-4 is perfect.
