Oline and recruiting tidbit and sugar Bowl


Jan 6, 2021, 10:36 PM

Just putting this out there.
I fully understand recruiting is a gamble and you want culture kids etc etc. In reviewing osu recruiting the last 3 years of the oline we went against. 3 5 stars and 5 4 star recruits on the oline. Tops was rated #7 player Nat, lowest rated nat olineman was 124. Most were 40-80 nat rating.

They also took 4 transfers in 2019. One a guard from Rutgers. Didn't see his nat rating but 247 rated him at 97.000

For reference, Carmen was our highest nat recruit for oline at #63. 97.500 I think.

Sure, numbers don't mean chit all the time but it would be interesting to see what Clemson would be with line recruits this good. With Carmen leaving, maybe we could get one of them 97.000 olineman from a Rutgers.

O-linemen are the most notorious difficult and biggest dice-roll of any position group to recruit, especially for rankings. Development arcs and group cohesion are a big deal and thus any HS eval might be completely bunk within 6 months.

As long as we are pulling in a good crop, working within the coaches skill set and offense's scheme, then we will be fine.

I think this year, our line was "fine" it was built around pass-protection for TL. They were actually quite good in this regard. We lacked a good rushing push but then again, most were not expecting ETN to return so I can't blame the roadmap for our group. I also think that the Covid/2020 issues also created an oddness and lack of cohesion but that was common across the county.
