Is it possible that our OL struggles may, in part, stem from changes in recruiting patterns? Previously, we have gotten strong OL, such as Johnny Caspers, Andrus Peat and others out of two areas of the country that we are no longer recruiting as heavily: Arizona (in case of Andrus) and the Midwest (in case of Caspers). Different parts of the country produce different types of players, so I wonder whether these recruiting pattern changes, on top of coaching and development, may explain the decline.

Well except for one that is.  
And to make outsider happy he could end up 50 lbs heavier than when he was offered

Pakola?  He's reportedly 267 per his 247 profile. Won't need much weight added to be ready size wise.

I hope Andres Fox is putting on those 20-30 pounds since he got on campus. He has the athleticism needed to be a difference maker on the DL.

I think he meant SC, who did, albeit thanks to more Coug special teams magic, beat WSU at home.

Well, we've played 5 games, and he claimed 4 of them were the hardest games we'd play. UW is clearly the 5th, so that means he thinks one of UC Davis or SDSU is tougher than WSU. I assumed he didn't mean Davis, but SDSU being tougher than WSU strikes me as wrong.
