Can he play WR? This is quite the crop of linemen, should be rock solid at the line of scrimmage for years to come with all the added beef!

I think its fair to say that anyone who commits in the next week is a pretty sure thing this late in the process.

I remember a few kids around the P12 who committed on Monday & didn't sign on signing day, the VERY NEXT DAY, because their "dream team" had a couple drop & spots open up... |

Love getting big guys on the OL. If we want to stay with the more traditional pro-style offense we need guys that can control the line.

Looks like we're getting a good one with this kid. But now we have 9 o-linemen committed for this class, basically half of our recruits. Look for a couple decommitments from that position in the days until signing day. We're in crazy town until those letters are faxed in.

The recruiting websites predicted he was going to stay East and go with Rutgers. So much for that. For our coaches to go back East and recruit him as hard as they did, he must be pretty special.

JC DT recruit Gardner(sp) is in school already . Expected to battle for DT spot in the spring . At least 2 of the HS OL's also play DL , so could be DT's should get a better idea after they spend a summer with Coach Hall conditioning .

Love the OL focus. Looks like we are going to continue lining up in a pro set and beating the $#!+ out of D-lines and backers set up to defend the read option and spread. I like.

I don't think there is much difference in the type of OL recruits you'd target for a conventional pro-set and the type of power-spread (i.e. Oregon, Auburn) that we'd move towards, if we did make that step.

There definitely is a difference between pro set and spread offensive linemen. The recruits we're getting are massive bodies (6'5 330+ lbs). They're built for the ground and pound, and getting 20 seconds of rest between downs. Spread linemen are quicker and weigh less. Strength and conditioning can only do so much. If we ever do switch to spread, we'd have to adjust to recruiting smaller linemen with a quicker step. |

We'd have to convert TE's to tackles if we went spread.

First P5 schools get the top recruits , for every position including OL . OL they will get guys with strength and speed , that is the difference , and why it takes the G5 recruits longer to develop , P5 OL may just may be better athletes . Really need to spend time with Coach Hall getting their bodies into better condition .
Did go look at the Ducks OL . They are similar in size to Aztec recruits , about 6 ' 5" and 290- 300 lbs. But are probably stronger and or quicker as most are rated 4 or 5 star guys . Most G5 recruits are 2 or 3 stars , need the time to develop into quality OL . May not matter what system they are in .
IMO a good OC , evaluates his talent and uses whatever schemes or combination of schemes that are best for the talent that he has . Should start with QB and RB's . We have had good RB's for the last 5 years or more BUT We finally won last year because we had QB's that did not TO the ball and could make plays when needed . Not going to win MW championship with out a quality QB and an OL that can control the LOS . Either quick or solid blocking . Name of the game is executing beating the opposing player.
Believe Horton thought he would run a combo Pro - Spread . Best of both systems for our QB's . Or maybe he may call it the "APS " AZTEC Pro Spread .

I'd call it "Rocky Ball"....very similar to the Chargers' "Marty Ball".
