Francis Mauigoa would be the third highest ranked offensive line recruit since 2002.

All these list show is that we have recruited well, per recruiting site, & have not reaped the benefits for one reason or another. Lotta wasted talent around here.
I’d also say rating inflation in the early years. Not certain if 247 would have necessarily rated some of these players quite as highly in 2022 as they did in 2003. A lot of the “top 10s” in each position come from the Coker and Shannon eras.🗑 coaching.

And Samson soon
Bruh!Seems like at least half of every top 10 list has been busts.
A lot of it is from the Coker and Shannon eras, and also from rating miscalculations from that earlier time period. It’s doubtful some of these players would score this highly in a 2022 environment of YT, social media, and mass availability of game footageBruh!
True and false. Recruiting OL has ALWAYS been a crapshoot, and always will be. Regardless of era. As long as dudes continue to have elite measurables, bad evaluations and miscalculations will continue. It’s really the hardest thing to do…. looking at video of HS OL and tell whether they’re dominating because they’re just bigger than the kids they line up against, or are they really athletic enough, strong enough, and have the mental makeup to dominate at the next level …. therefore living up to their high ranking.A lot of it is from the Coker and Shannon eras, and also from rating miscalculations from that earlier time period.

100% they would have. We have plenty of OL who haven’t just made the league but started multiple years. Better coaching and I think mostly better schemes on offense and our OL would have looked much better.Hence the age old argument of talent vs coaching. It’s both. … I often wonder if half these kids would have been better off at a better program smh. Our coaches were so **** bad. And their evals were just as suspect.
i'm at a loss to understand how tyler mcmeans was one of the top 5 rated OL in the past 15 years.
