The Official Offensive Line OL recruiting thread

Maybe we compete with a little more (5-10%?)
I believe we have the money to win bids that don't go crazy, as long as we can convince them to wait a year longer for the cash. But yeah, most end up with one of the usual suspects willing to outbid any other offer however high it gets, plus the bag.
Recruiting is getting us in the final lists, but we're understandably losing the final bidding round.

 

We all teach our kids that instant gratitude is fools gold but we live in a world of instant gratification. My fiancé is constantly getting shit delivered from Amazon. I hate it but you have to admit it’s tge easy way out. Convincing a kid to wait on his 100 stacks is next to impossible.

 

I hope your scenario is accurate because we need to believe we have the money but our prudence and business sense is channeling great prospects to other schools. At this point it's hard to know, but we need to believe that otherwise it's a different set of issues.

 

Channeling talent to other schools is the endgame. Nice one.

 

Sorry if you didn't appreciate channeling. Is relinquishing a better word? It is all about money, right?

 

Losing is losing, there’s no liner for being nice.

 

With some context yes. He played 4 games against 3 ranked opponents last season. Went 1-3 in those games. They pulled off the week 2 upset of OSU but then got beat twice by Utah and once by Oklahoma. Losing twice to a ranked team in same season is one thing, going 1-3 in games vs a ranked team is another issue.

 

That’s a big deal. Nice to recruit a center rather than just throwing someone in that position.

 

The only thing worse than one Hevesy is two Hevesy’s.

 

Huh, hadn’t heard anything about him. Though…makes sense we would at least kick the tires since he’s a LA kid and our coaches have tons of contacts there.

 

I saw him high up in the player rankings early on but didn't think he had any interest in UF. Billy may have been in contact with him back at Louisiana. This is great news.

 

He is an absolute NEED big time

4 star Top 250 OT. Whatever it takes to get him!

 

Arizona? Good luck with that

 

Looks like we are really having to reach for OL.

 

That would be another heavy lift, but I won't underestimate this staff. Time will tell
