[QUOTE="Techster, post: 463192, member: 360"] IMO, it's not a numbers issue. It's more of a quality issue in terms of who GT is able to recruit. Unfortunately, with the rise of spread offenses, EVERYONE wants athletic linemen who can move in space. Even the shorter guys who might have been overlooked in the past who GT made hay with, are now getting picked over by a lot of P5 schools. GT has had to get creative lately with recruiting linemen (See: Jahaziel Lee, Bo Tufele...both HS DLs that CPJ wanted to convert to OL). Add to that, you have the same issues as recruiting the skill guys on offense: the higher level OLs don't want to play in our offense. Getting someone like Parker Braun was a godsend...and fortunately our style fit the style he loved playing in and there was a legacy aspect to it. When you have walk-ons routinely making the starting line up or playing a large part in being key backups, that's an issue. Listen, I'm not disparaging a walk ons because one of the best OLs during CPJ tenure was a WO (Sean Bedford), but having to count on WOs to fill gaps above scholarship guys coaches hand picked is concerning.
