He has caught a lot of flack for the recruiting "failures". However what cannot be denied is the development of the offensive line, as well as having to make multiple shuffles on the offensive line after losing 2 players playing at all american levels.
Oh and when I say failures just remember the players he has successfully recruited
2025
Carter Lowe 4 star 34th ranked player in the class
Jake Cook 3 star unranked with very high upside
Jayvon McFadden 3 star unranked is a project
Still not finished for the class
2024
Ian Moore 4 star 182 ranked player in the class
Deavonte and Dionte Armstrong both 3 stars unranked with extreme upside
2023
Luke Montgomery 4 star ranked 120 in class
Joshua Padila 3 star unranked
Austin Siereveld 3 star unranked (now starting at guard)
Miles Walker 3 star project
So while none of them are the 5 star all world prospect, there rarely are any for offensive linemen coming out of high school. Maybe we should let the coaches who do this for a living figure out what they are good at, evaluating and watching film, instead of these reporters who know dick all about football
