Message: [QUOTE="tep624, post: 4534414, member: 430"] Outside of Bergeron and a few others we haven't done a very good job of recruiting in general over the last 5 years - a lot of misses. That has as much to do with it as anything. And generally even when we've looked for more plug and play types either from JUCO or out of the portal we've missed on far more than we've landed. Enrique Cruz is one of the few I can think of that was heavily recruited including SEC/Big10 programs that we landed. Bergeron turned out great and was highly thought of in Canada but wasn't heavily recruited south of the border. He was a great find. For the most part anytime we're recruiting an OL guy from HS/JUCO/Portal and big boys get involved, we lose. And those types or prospects are how you turn a bad OLine around quickly. Turning it around through identifying diamonds in the rough and developing them takes years. [/QUOTE]
