    This fucking debate again.

    I'll only bitch about the line recruiting when the line sucks.

    Lag effect will take place with the premier recruits down the line.

    Strausser is doing his job.

    Pretty much every recruit TSIO podcast has blasted before stepping on campus has been productive early in their careers, usually leap frogging the higher ranked guys.

    I'm starting a podcast called Let it play out, you don't know shit.

    or

    LIPO, YDKS Podcast

    I was thinking about this Saturday when Aaron Fuller scored, but I couldn't remember who was trashing him on signing day. 4 true freshmen getting playing time, and two of those four are Fuller and Nick Harris, both shit on by our resident TBS'ers.

    I remember someone saying Fuller had the worst tape for a D1 receiver he'd ever seen. Well, kid can ball.
    I never understood why people hated Baccellia and Fuller so much. Chin...I get.

    I also never though Jomon Dotson would amount to shit. He is still too weak to break anything but the most feminine of arm tackles, but I'll be damned if he isn't fairly productive.

    No, recruiting actually matters ... the current state of OL recruiting is concerning ... it's the one area where the recruiting doesn't match what we see elsewhere

    Not to rehash, but the only way it doesn't match what we have been seeing elsewhere is for the current class, which is, you know, not complete yet.
    This has been covered elsewhere and on our pod (where it was so bad we had to pull the plug midstream because DDY was about to kill himself or someone else) ... but the mix of numbers and quality on the OL is less than ideal ... at this point it is FS to argue otherwise
    The 2014 OL class was pretty poor, but it was also the transition class.

    In 2015 & 2016, the apparent quality, based on recruiting rankings, was right in line with the rest of those classes. I would have preferred at least one more linemen in those two classes, but that is that one recruit the difference between a crisis that you have to be fucking stupid not to see and everything being just dandy?
    Well then, it looks like we have more flexibility to take more OL in 2017 and 2018 which should pay big dividends in 2020 and 2021!!

    For the record, Dennis was the one that hated on Fuller, but when his senior film came out he felt better about him.

    Don't forget that I was a little more positive on him and expected that he could come in and contribute immediately given that he was coming from the world of Texas HS football where the reps that they get definitely make them more college ready than not as true freshman.

    My concern is as much based on numbers as it is quality ...

    To your point that we were 1 lineman short in the 2015 and 2016 classes, which I would agree with, the problem is that IF you consistently are in that position that really impacts your numbers down the road and leads to a lack of balance in a class ... which has its own issues.

    The reason you are hearing the TSIO crew so vocal on this is that as it stands now the 2017 class is going in the same direction. 3 straight years of that becomes a huge problem.

    To those that are fast forwarding to February and saying what if we get this guy and that guy, there's no question that we don't know with 100% certainty what the final class will look like. The TSIO podcast has been fairly consistent in saying that we'll be getting Henry Bainivalu from Skyline. We call it as we see it at the time and try to stay in a position where we're talking about what is likely and not about hopes and dreams.

    And for anybody that likes to bash what one of us says about this recruit or that recruit, we're also way more accurate about what we talk about than not. The citing of Nick Harris on one hand is a nice surprise, but one of the big reasons that we weren't high on him is because he really doesn't look the part. He's still dramatically undersized and the fact that he's playing at this point to me is as much an indictment on the overall depth on our line than anything else. The RG position on our offense has been about one of the few positions that has been at times a shit show on the entire roster.
