Every year, we have recruited heavily along the defensive line, except this year. Why? We lost two to graduation. This has been a good run for line development. Why the donut hole this year that will ripple outward for the next few years? This is NEVER the case with Ohio St, who always fill a whole line on defense, without fail, ever. In fact, they almost always have 4 and sometimes 5 recruits on the line in the last decade, maybe more. In 1 year they had 3 recruits along the line. Minnesota did not have a dominant line this year. It was adequate and not stellar. Why the void in D-line recruits? Anybody have any ideas why this year we didn't gain any d-line recruits. If we land one, that guy is going to be mighty lonely.
