So we decline to spend the million bucks on Fausi, who is obviously good, but weighs 284. We didn't seem to try much with highly ranked Haywood who weighs 270. We fought hard for Rogers who weighs 305. Have committed Mills who weighs 315. And seem to be salivating over Brooks at 385.

Does a lot of this offensive line recruiting for Texas boil down to our line coach really liking the bigger, heavier, much heavier guys?

Our starters are 320, 320, 315, 330 and 335. You will say Fausi will bulk up to that. Are we sure he can? Can Haywood gain 50 pounds from 270 to be 320?

I think these weights impact our recruiting strategy more than is being discussed.
