What is our plan there? I don’t follow recruiting very much but why aren’t there more guys headed our way? What’s the holdup on a pipeline of offensive lineman that want to play with the #1 team in the country. Been this way for years this struggle. What gives?

Signed 5 last year and possible will get 1/2 more this year. Don’t forget juniors like Dare either.

I don’t think this is as big a need as some people are making it out to be. We have a very well rounded class coming in.

We will bring in some fairly highly rated OL in this class before it is over. So be patient.
It is not like our OL sucks and has sucked for years. It hasn't been great but it is not terrible.
We also haven't been the #1 team until this year. I would expect that #1 ranking is going to help us in 2021. There are a lot of really good OL in Texas for 2021 and hopefully we can snare a few.
La. just hasn't produced many top OT for a while now. The last one we produced went to Alabama. Our OL will be fine and I believe in 2021 we will start making it outstanding.

We need 1 or 2 OT’s and we’re getting them this class.

We also are in contention for Rj Adams, a three star(4 on rivals) who just decommited from Penn State. I don't think we are done on the OL.

The OL is a deep as it’s been in a while

Weird narrative you’re trying to push there

We get Dumervil, and it's looking very very much in our favor, then this OL class is right where it needs to be.

We've balanced the ledger for numbers as far as the OL goes (caveat: If Hines can snap ball and learn C). If we get Crawford, or better put if Crawford can get his academic house in order, we're fine.

Feeling good right now because Traore and Magee played better at the OTs. Comfort level for depth is not great, but still pretty good.

Probably get 2 in this class and then they'll take 4-5 in 2021

Camron Jackson needs to be an OT. We enough stud DL in the class and I think Jackson has to makings to be a great tackle after a year or 2 in the system

If our Juniors stay (which they should, imo, except for Deculus and Cush maybe), we'll have like 6-7 4* OLs next year (maybe a couple 5* mixed in there depending on what site you look at). I mean... that's not terrible.
