re: How soon is too soon to be concerned with DL recruiting under Orgeron? It's his 3rd class

quote:

---

In 2015 we took 5 OL 2 were top 10 OTs and a 5* guard.

2016 we took 3 OL

2014 we took OL who were 4 stars.

DL and keeping the DL on campus was an issue.

Bain and LMFOA getting kicked off the team hurt, but in 2016 we took Lawrence, Logan and Alexander and wanted Oliver bad.

Maybe our top guys were very high ranked skill players, but we had a decent amount of OL too

And we put 4 CBS on the field routinely, so recruiting a lot of them is important. We had major CBS depth issues.

I agree We recruited a lot of WRs for a team running 2 WR sets.
