IIRC this is his second year at Alabama. I said this another thread or post, but until we recruit better offensive lineman and/or better OL coaching it will not make any difference who the OC is.
We've recruited well on the OL over the last few years relative to recruiting rankings. We either aren't developing them or some just aren't panning out.
OT - Booker - 5 star FR
OT - Latham - 5 star SO
OT - T. Brockermeyer - 5 star RS FR (has he ever played)
OG - Ekiyor - 4 star RS SR
OG - Brockermeyer - 4 star RS FR (don't think eitehr brother has played)
OG - Ferguson - 4 star RS FR
OG - Dalcourt - 4 star SR
OG - Roberts - 4 star RS FR
OT - Bowles - 4 star RS JR
OT - Pritchett - 4 star FR
OT - Randolph - 4 star RS SR (has moved back and forth to TE and OT)
OT - Cohen - 4 star JR
OT - George - 4 star JR
OT - Kight - 4 star RS JR (backs up Steen, a transfer)
Now, get this, 2 of our starters after all those highly recruited guys......
C - McLaughlin - 3 star RS SO
OT - Steen - 3 star SR transfer
We either aren't developing all that talent or we are completely missing on the evaluations.
