OL Scholarship Offers

[AustinFromUNT]

Is anyone else starting to become concerned with how many OL guys we are recruiting. We pulled in 5-6 last season and so far we have 2 commits but are still offering more guys. Is it normal to recruit OL this heavily?

Changing scheme and the lack of depth as well. You can never have to many quality OL or DL. 

Also, it's not like we were very solid along the OL either.

Absolutely in this circumstance. Littrell and staff inherited horrific quality and depth at Offensive Line. When we get good up front, this thing will really take off.

I'm not going to bad mouth the OL lettermen we have on the team and say their quality is "horrific."   However I have been saying for a while that the skillset they have that made dmac want to recruit them is not the same skillset that SL would want.  

It's more of a fit issue than a quality issue, IMHO.
