Going to need a great class in ‘26 with only getting one commitment in the ‘25 class.
5 total between 24 and 25? Am I reading that right? Shouldn't it be more like 5 per year?
6 with Borud. The roster crunch, transfer portal, and covid years probably played into all of this.
Lol. No. Schools arent taking 5 schollie ol per yr. Maybe occasionally after a down trend you load up, but five ol per yr with most guys sticking around 5 yrs would mean 25 schollies tied up in the ol.
I guess they think Van Weitzinga is a Center so that would be 2 last year.
Maybe we get another year from DeJong?
I am going out on a limb and say the attrition rate, especially for OL is higher than 0%.
Dont know if its higher or not, not sure why it would be. Either way, schools arent averaging 5 ol recruits every year and arent carrying more than ~15-17 on scholarship most yrs
Doesn’t change the fact that signing 5 OL recruits per year is absurd.
3-4 would probably be correct. If you watch the portal, almost every school is getting at least 1 OL out of the portal. Mainly to fill gaps with classes that did not pan out and needs. Especially for depth. Just my thoughts.
Only 1 in the 25 class because they loaded up in the 24 class. I think a couple in the 24 class will be pushing for PT next fall.
On a consistent basis and with the portal yes. My point was that there is very little chance that if you sign 5 a year that in 5 years you will have 25 OL on scholarship. Feel free to go back the past 5 years and see how many recruits medically retire, transfer, quit, etc.
Is it? OL make up 5 out of 22 starting positions. We now have a roster limit of 105 players. Percentage wise, that means 4-5 ships a year for OL. You could include kickers/punters, but I don’t think we typically recruit both a kicker and punter each year.
