Return of the pipeline...

Shout out to both our previous staff and current one for bringing in 3 straight amazing offensive line classes:

2014:
Tanner Farmer 4*
Nick Gates 4*
DJ Foster 3*

2015
Jalin Barnett 4*
Michael Decker 3*
Christian Gaylord 3*

2016
John Raridon 4*
Matt Farniok 3*
Brian Brokop 3*
Boe Wilson 3*
Possibly more....

That is some GREAT talent. Now we just need to develop these young men and watch the yards and touchdowns pile up.

Also, almost all of those guys other than Nick Gates are from the 500 mile radius. That is a recipe for sustained recruiting success.

Great selling point for offensive skill position talent as well!!

I am excited about all of the above players listed, but at this point, I'll reserve judgment on the OL recruiting until I've seen more than just Gates play. If Foster, Farmer, and one or two of the 2015 guys contributes this season, I'll definitely acknowledge it, but I have flashbacks of thinking our OL recruiting was great when we had Ryan Klachko, Tyler Moore and company signing, so I will sit back and see what happens.

That said, I am pretty pumped about the Farniok news, and it's hard not to be excited about the potential of the players the OP listed!

Silly me, I was thinking all year that Gates was a walk-on.
