While I realize that depth along the offensive line is important, they've signed O-linemen in the past who haven't contributed yet. Yes, it is important toward the long-term success of the program, that just doesn't get me as excited as bringing in a RB/WR that can make plays.
As a RB in high school, I played behind lines where I outweighed 2 our of the 5 OL. Those were the cards I was dealt but it was still on me to make something happen whenever I got the ball in my hands. All I'm saying is that our schedule in pretty tough in 2012, we're probably not going to be able to bring any OL in this class that can help us win any games then but maybe Kelly & company could bring in some offensive skill players that can contribute during the 2012 season and help ND get some Ws.
It doesn't have to get you excited; that means nothing. This is a recruit's thread, and family's of recruits and the recruits themselves read these threads. And it's an a-hole move and disingenuous at best to write on a recruit's thread that his possible commitment bores you. What purpose did your comment serve? Do you think that his family members that could very well be reading this thread appreciated that comment?
As for 2012, again, thank God Kelly, whom you trust, doesn't think the way you do. Yes, the schedule is beyond brutal, but we still need these big uglies to get reps in practice and be prepared for 2013 and beyond. I'm glad that you had success as a RB behind a bad line, but in college, it doesn't matter how great you are if your line can't block. Just ask LaMichael James how it felt to go against Farley from Auburn.
Anyway, bottom line is, we NEED to keep getting kids like this, and if you don't have something nice to say about a recruit on his thread, better it be left unsaid. They're reading, trust me...
