Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 3151341, member: 874"] Recruiting is not a crap shoot, which is why some do it better than others. There are teams that don't get the 5 star guys (most don't) that field consistently decent offensive lines. Keep in mind, nobody is asking the line to be dominant, just functional/average. If we are going to take it on the chin this year to develop for the future, we better start doing it with younger players. 40% of the starters will exhaust their eligibility this season. So, will we use the youth excuse next year when we're replacing them? With the exception of Clemson, nobody we've played this year is better than the Big East teams we used to play. In fact, the team that just beat us was in the Big East with us. Who left on our schedule is better than the Louisville and WVU teams we used to see when Marrone was coaching. Schedule is not a problem this year. [/QUOTE]
