This is going to be long, but based on the Brockermeyer’s commitments, we need to have this discussion.
Since 2011, we have signed 43 OL recruits.
OL offers since 2011: 16 5 Star – 1 signed(He transferred), 80 4 Star – 24 Signed, 49 3 Star – 17 Signed, 2 2Star – 1 Signed

We went from the Mack Brown Era to guy who evidently have no idea how to evaluate OL talent. We followed that up with a guy that recruits using the carpet bombing method. He had success recruiting by trying to lockdown all of the talent in the city. He gets to Texas and ignores State talent to recruit nationally and lets Alabama, Ohio State, and ou come in and have their pick of OL talent.
Those programs understand the value of quality linemen. We like Wrs and DBs. I've never heard anyone say you win from the outside.
