Yup, but let's not write off Mixon. Would be great to get both.

And if Brohm is gonna compete with FAU for recruits (like Golden ended up doing at the U), he won't be there but 3 years. Coach B - you wanna get out of the Big10 cellar, RAISE YOUR RECRUITING STANDARDS - YOU ARE WAY BEHIND The OSU, the other "UM", Pedo St., Wisc., Neb and even Minny and NW!H__l, the only team you ARE ahead of competitively, is RUTGERS!

Get it together Coach B. leave the FAU level recruits alone, you are in a BigBoy conference now, recruit like a BigBoy!

Ok I doubt we get both because of numbers as it stands now we have 3 OL in 18 person class I doubt we take 4 OL remember it is a numbers game.

Don't need QB or RB or TE really so OL and WR on O to me. Even if you take 4 OL AND 4 DL you have 10 others not counting any other attrition.

The lines MAKE OR BREAK your season EVERY TIME!

Agreed. Plus we have holes pretty much everywhere on D so a few talented JUCO DBs and LBs that we can plug in right away.

OL was our weakest link. I feel our D has some young guys that, if coached, can do the job. We have some guys that red shirted last season that are quality guys. We also had a couple LB's that were force to play early. They will only get better. I feel good about the OL recruiting.
