1. Talent - Certainly a lot of the guys were fairly highly recruited. But in this kind of individual way, such rankings don't mean that much. Still, I don't see guys who look like they cannot put on weight, or cannot move, etc. So, while I would leave at possible, I think a lesser issue.
[Recap recruiting rankings from 247 composite, using their overall ranking (I think about 1000 players are ranked). I include six guys because both Fanaika and Hamilton have seen extensive time at LG.
Fanaika '12 #328 Burkett '14 #742, Hall '14 #574, Hamilton '16 #252, Little '17 #9]
Other than Little who has been in college for 13 months that isn't a highly rated list. We went 3 out 4 years without a OL recruit in the top 250. That is an issue. It seems like OL is the position that should be the easiest for us to recruit and we should have a couple top 250 recruits every year who are OL.
