So input on where we stand with OL appreciated:

We have on board (for now) Dice, Dowland, Carde Smith, Tai Buster

Looking pretty good: Shull, and Jacobe Ford

Trying: Babaloa, Josh Petty, Malachi Goodman

Any others? I left off Micah Dubose we seem to have cooled on him, or have we?

In any case, we have not seen OL recruiting like this in years, yeeaarrs. Nice job.

I think you summed it up.

Wiltfong placed a prediction for Jacobe Ward to Auburn today.

Pinkston said recently he thought Auburn would take DeBose if he wanted in (obvious statement), but seemed to think Auburn liked guys like Buster and Ward about as much. Wiltfong also said Auburn was in Babalola's top group, which was news to me.

A current OL class projection:
4* OT Broderick Shull
4* OT Tavaris Dice
4* OT Carde Smith
3* OL Tai Buster
3* OL Jacobe Ward
3* OT Spencer Dowland

If we somehow could add someone like Goodman, Petty, Babalola, DeBose, etc., to that would be really huge.

Amen to that. Look what Bo Nix did when he had a line that wasn't a turnstile.

Back on like p10 or p12 of this very thread, people were calling for Thornton's job because we missed on some OL at the time.

I love this place.

ETA: Just went back and looked and it wasn't even a "miss". It was because LSU was being called the leader ahead of Auburn for DeBose.
