[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 771025, member: 274"] Love this reply. Thanks for sharing with data. I wish more would do the same. I directionally agree with the premise that offers are not the end all, be all, and would only pick nits at what [USER=4572]@JacketOff[/USER] mentioned (i.e., I recall a couple of the names holding Syracuse offers, which appear to be listed in Rivals profiles, not 247, for whatever reason). So it goes with recruiting sources. Re: Boston College, I'm not as familiar with the quality of their OL play of late. A quick search suggests that unit may be living off past reputation.
