After the announcement of the 9th OL commitment for 2024, it got me to thinking.
I wanted to look into the OL recruiting under Locksley.
To my amazement, I discovered that we have had 25 OL recruits over the past 5 years. Of those, Rivals shows only 1 player rated above 3*. In fact, we had 3 times as many 2* as we did 4*.
So, I went over the past 5 years of Rivals' recruiting data to see how many 4* and above OL there were available for the Master Recruiter to entice.
By my reckoning, I found the following:
2020 - 37 OT, 13 OG, 5 C = 55
2021 - 33 OT 13 OG, 5 C = 50
2022 - 30 OT, 17 OG 1 C = 48
2023 - 37 OT, 24 OG, 4 C = 65
2024 - 41 OT, 14 OG, 2 C = 57
So, when you add it all up, there were 275 4* and above OL over the past 5 recruiting classes.
Locksley landed 1.
That is a success rate of, when you round that, you get
Any wonder we have never finished higher than 4th in the Lox regime?
Hey DWeeB-1, that objective enough for you?
