Initial OL board (from the Jan 29, 2024 Bank)
OL- One thing I heard- they haven’t seen as many athletic, big bodies as usual during the evaluation process. Some guys are athletic but narrow, while some big guys are too slow.
Last year, we were told, don't worry about the 24 cycle OTs, talent was down and we had a bumper year in 23 and the depth is scaring 24 recruits away. Now @DMoney says staff is disappointed w/the athleticism of recruits this cycle too. Not saying this is our issue (could be kids not maturing as expected) and the Mirabal and Mario are on scholarship w/me as far as OL go, but I find this a little troubling. Anyone else?
On a more positive note, we had TWO Elite 5* 26 OTs at Prospect day last weekend so maybe the 26 cycle will be improved???
