There has been some comment about how this O-Line class stacks up with, specifically, Michigan's. The answer is of course: we'll see once they take the field. Now, if we want to ask the question as to how they are RANKED just at this moment in their Junior in high school years --- well, it's still a bit of a coin-flip. If you want to go with 247, then Michigan's line class is second to Texas' class, and there is a gap and ND comes third easily ahead of the next [so far]. If you want to go with Rivals, the gap closes, and Michigan may edge out Texas. But ND is real close. If you want to go with ESPN, the three schools are basically a wash, with Texas maybe third. All of these guys number-grade within the 79-81 range on those rating systems that use that ~80+ point scale. ESPN rates ND as getting verbals from 5 of the top 22 tackles in the country [#s 7, 8, 16, 21, 22]. Such a class needs to take a back seat to no one.
All Hail Coach Hiestand!!!!
