I think next year will be more telling about his recruiting skills.
I don't know what you can call it, but there's a point when you start calculating the impact of a given year's recruiting class from beginning to end. I'm referring to the time when our coaches are first in contact with a recruit for a specific year, then following them throughout the process, all the way until the recruit steps foot on campus, the practice field, and ultimately the playing field then leaves. Further reducing it to a particular position within a class, take a look at where we are with O-Linemen for the 2015 recruiting class. Not very good. Everyone wants to make excuses and point to previous classes and ones to come (like next year). But where 2015 is concerned, you will never get it back, and it's going to hurt us at some point in this projected championship run over the next 2-3 years. IMHO, just selling OL recruits about the stable of RBs they could block for should be enough to get some of the elite O-Linemen in for a visit. We're not getting any of these 4-5 star guys to visit, except maybe Tillery, and we've known all along where that was headed. According to the recruiting sites, we're not even on these guys' radars. If Grimes isn't getting it done, Les should take charge of OL recruiting.

O-Line is byfar the hardest to project at the college level due to the fact that they have been the biggest and strong player on the field their whole HS career and haven't had to face people bigger and stronger than them consistently like they will at the college level. Thus, of all the positions I wouldn't worry about the star rating with O-linemen as they require the most time for development both physically and technically skill wise.
