How do you think we end up in recruiting?

So, define success. Do we need to land 15 four star DTs every year?

At least

I'm not sure where all the complaints about OL recruiting are coming from???

Apparently people forget that we had one of the top 3 OL recruiting classes in the nation last year. We weren't going to take more than 1-2 guys at the position given that.

Defensive line has and will be an issue with Jurrassic Jerry on recruiting. He's failed repeatedly to land the big name guys over the course of 3 seasons. Getting out recruited in that area by Kal is pretty sad.

Great first post until you mentioned Azz. Since you're new, I'll give you a pass.

People get kinda ridiculous when it comes to recruiting. No team, besides maybe USC & Bama, recruit every position really well. Everyone else has to pick & choose what positions they want to focus on & make their strengths, you have to be realistic in what you can get in recruiting. Yes we all want LSU's DLine recruiting but when is the last time they had a top flight QB? Or RB? When's the last time we HAVEN'T had a top flight QB or RB? Starting to get what I'm saying?

You recruit top guys where you can realistically battle the top teams. For us it's QB, RB, & DB. LB & TE are starting to become those positions as well. But the rest of the spots you just hope for a good haul every few years & the rest of the time you fill them with solid guys who fit your system & that you can develop.

The sooner you recruiting nuts accept this the sooner you'll stop being miserable during the final stretches of recruiting. And the sooner you will stop pestering everyone with your "sky is falling" recruiting threads.

FWIW, cal out recruits almost everyone when it comes to the DL.

Yep!

We will end up about average fir OREGON. Of course its hard to really say how good any class is until a couple years pass and they are contributing on the field. Last years class was crazy to get 2 true freshman that contribute right away.

4 if you include Lyerla and Wallace. Ifo and especially DeAnthony has been big this year.

Really need another corner, Rios going to UCLA was kind of a bummer. Oregon should have offered him earlier. With Seymour looking like a USC lock, will the coaches consider offering Brandon Beaver?

Your right, I was just thinking about COLT and DeANTHONY. I guess its the offensive bias that comes with this team!

Don't forget Jake Fisher & Hardrick, before he got injured. Fisher's contribution was really impressive, he was getting a lot of meaningful snaps in big games. That is rare for a true frosh olineman.

I'm under the impression that we will wait on Seymour(and lose out), and not go after another corner. Look for that spot to be taken by another inside linebacker, or at least I would not be surprised if that is the case.

Also, Brandon Beaver will go to UCLA in my opinion. Didn't UCLA just get Washington's DB's coach that Beaver really liked? It just makes too much sense. I'm not too heartbroken over it though, I heard that Beaver played pretty bad this year.

Wait, don't we need a CB in this class? Who do we have, like four freshman CBs right?

[andreezy]

I'm guessing we would take up to 2, and probably RS at least one to spread out classes. So we have Amoako, and then another if the right one comes along?

[ducknCtown]

I would say they end up somewhere between 15 and 25 on all major recruiting lists.
