To touch on the Cotton issue here as well, I just don't understand how our line can't be one of the best in the big 12, possibly country. Looking at other programs around the country and their o line recruits:
Kansas State:
2006:Scott Kreihbal (3 star), Kenneth Mayfield (2 star), Patrick Turner (2 star)
2007:Cory Adams (2 star), Alesana Alesana (3 star), colten freeze (2 star), Ben Liu (3 star), Jake Roepke (2 star), Eldridge Simms (3 star)
2008:Ethan Douglas (2 star), Zach Hansen (unrated), Edward Prince (3 star), Wade Weibert (3 star)
2009:William Cooper (2 star), William Lawson (2 star), Cornelius Lucas (2 star), Keenan Taylor (3 star)
Stanford:
2006:Joe Dembensky (2 star), John Kyed (3 star), Bret Mcbride (2 star), Andrew Phillips (3 star),
2007:Matt Bentler (2 star), George Halamandaris (2 star), Brad Hallick (3 star), Tyler Mabry (3 star)
2008

avid Decastro (3 star), Jonathan Martin (3 star), Sam Schwartstein (2 star)
2009:Kevin Danser (3 star), Kalil Wilkes (3 star)
Oregon:
2006:Jordan Holmes (2 star), CE Kaiser (2 star), Pat So'oalo (2 star), Bo Thran (3 star), Fenuku Tupou (4 star)
2007:Mark Asper (2 star), Charlie Carmichael (3 star), Darrion Weems (4 star), Carson York (4 star)
2008:Nick Cody (4 star), Hamani Stevens (4 star),
2009:Karrington Armstrong (3 star), Everett Beynard (3 star), Jamall Burell (3 star), Trevor Fox (3 star)
Nebraska:
2006:Keith Williams (3 star), DJ Jones (4 star)
2007:Marcel Jones (3 star),
2008:Ricky Henry (3 star), Brandon Thompsen (3 star)
2009:Nick Ash (3 star), Jesse Coffey (3 star), Brent Qvale (3 star), Jeramiah Sirles (3 star)
So obviously the depth is the first thing that jumps off the page but just take a look at the average stars of these teams. I picked these teams bc they have a pretty good running game the past few years. What's the difference? Scheme? Bad evaluations? Coaching/Developing?
