Need to buy linemen anyway. 4* purchases are greater than 3* commitments.
1. We cooled.
2. Mutual parting of the way.
3. We opened up a spot.

Who cares

Anyone who commits to worthless bum uncle Don will likely never see the field anyway

Guy couldn’t coach his way out of a wet paper bag

I believe Gottula is the only recruit of his that’s played any meaningful snaps. And only due to injury at that.

So do you want to start guys recruited during Frost’s last class? It is illogical to believe that Raiola should have been able to recruit top O linemen to Frost’s sheet show and then the next year when he didn’t know if he still had a job.

He’s developed Justin Evans in to pretty darned good center. Somehow he got his backups to the backups at right tackle to give TJ and EJ good enough blocking to win a game.
imagine how good EJ would be if he wasn't hit behind the line on 100% of his carries thanks to our god awful OL

Looked at the list
2021 Teddy and Luto
2022 Evans was a Dline recruit, portal guy from Okie State. Donnie Raiola’s first year.
There was that much in terms of a cupboard when Rhule showed up. They’ve put together lines from what was around plus the portal. Soon we will see what they think of the existing talent behind the starters when we start to see who they are attracting through the portal. There is now three years of recruiting talent on the roster that was brought in after Rhule took over. It leans 3*, but there are several blue chips.

I don’t know if any of the tackles now playing are fully healthy. Real bummer for Teddy, but we sure are lucky Corcoran stuck around. The Oline is better at run blocking than pass blocking for sure. But also, Dylan needs to realize he can’t hold the ball that damn long.

I think next year will start to be the test of our evaluation and development of high school O linemen. That said, EVERYONE raves about Oregon’s recruiting and THREE of their O line starters are transfers in this year. Times have changed.

Given the injuries, 2 transfers in, and the number of guys we’ve had to play at both tackles, I’m kind of amazed we’ve had the offensive production we’ve had. I’m happy for Corc. He’s kind of been a whipping boy for some of the message board experts.

I think it was Brendan Stai who has said multiple times that even with multiple returning starters it would take the O lines he played in 4-5 games to gel and get rolling. That was just inserting a guy who had been in our system multiple years and had played 4th quarters of multiple games. He said that was true in the NFL as well.

The fact this is your comeback and you think it’s a good one, tells me all we need to know.

best run blocking in the B1G!!! Pay no attention to the fact we are 13th in the conference at rushing!!!!
