Hopefully this major mistake can be corrected quickly

So do I, genius. CPR offered him. Just what else do you think matters???

No BCS offers

Amazing to think that Jake Knott was a 2*.

So it's like your hawks recruiting class then, huh?

You should probably take a look at the offers list of your team's commitments so far, before going on about us. VERY few BCS schools even offered any of those kids. It's almost ALL mac schools there puddin.

There are only three guys that don't have another BCS offer.

I don't want it to happen by any means, but its possible that another BCS school offers these guys and they leave us. I think we are getting past that stage, and better athletes are getting more and more interested going forward.. but it happens to the good schools too.

They underestimate the power of Iowa corn.

Homa has had an ISU offer for quite awhile, which means a lot as far as I'm concerned. Yeah, his BP numbers are low, but BP doesn't mean all that much for HS OLs in my opinion. They can improve strength. What they can't do very much for is quickness. After a RS year, it wouldn't surprise me to see Homa pushing 300 lbs and his bench will have jumped 100 lbs. I think that he's a really nice commit and obviously the staff wanted him early.

From here on, I'd like to see the staff add a taller OT and then a C to eventually replace Farniok. Usually, I'd say that 3 would be the bare minimum per class for HS OL's, but even though they signed 3 last year and the year before, I don't see a need to go more than 3 this year because the staff has done a good job of building depth and limiting attrition. OL is a place that I think they can stick with 3 this year and continue building rather than going crazy and signing 4 or 5.

This. He was the 4th Lineman we offered. He was very high on our list.
