re: How did our O-line get so bad?

Here's the 2 OL classes you would expect a lot of starters from this year:

2018 - HS ranking
C. Smith - #2 OC ... transfer to MSU
B. Traore - #2 OT (Juco) ... gone after 2 years since JUCO
C. Hines - #16 OG ... struggling with weight, in/out of lineup
D. Rosenthal - #26 OT ... transferred to Kentucky
C. Wire - #28 OT ... missed last 3 games, but was starter at LT after Rosenthal transferred
D. Lewis - #2 OG (Juco) ... left after 2 years since JUCO

2019 - HS ranking
K. Thomas - #2 OG ... injury may have sidelined his career
R. Parker - #19 OT ... kicked off team
A. Bradford - #13 OG ... weight issues, rotational guy right now
C. Turner - #8 OC ... weight issues, been hurt last couple games
T. Perry - #32 OG ... injury may have sidelined his career


As you look at the 2018 and 2019 recruiting classes, you cant sit here and say for sure we got 1 quality starter from that bunch for this season, which is insane consider thats ELEVEN guys we brought in.

Now I hope Wire, Hines or Bradford become a quality starter, but right now you cant say that about any of them...and almost all the other guys have no hope it looks like of ever being a quality starter here.
