Some recency bias there.

Oklahoma has had great linebackers in the past.  And without Million-Dollar Mike Effing Stoops as DC, they will again.

of course it's recency biased lol. The list is the here and now, not all-time.

If I made a list of where players go to thrive- Oklahoma would probably be #1 at QB and WR.

Yeah the Michigan QBs used to come off of an assembly line.

I think it's fair to say tight ends have underperformed at UGA of late, after some pretty good ones in the past.  That has been a topic of "discussion", failure to utilize.

This was curious last year when they had their few good WRs injured or suspended so often.

Oddly enough, UGA QBs get drafted frequently, especially if you include the ones who transferred.  They of late have usually not started.

Why a 5* QB is committed to Michigan right now is beyond me.

The other thing with this is you basically have to be a helmet, or recruit like it to even be on it.  Most schools don't have enough 5* type prospects, certainly at any one position, to have enough major busts.

MSU has done a bad job developing offensive linemen.  Not really many (any?) big prospects there.  A couple 4* guys, but OL is such a crapshoot, that other teams seemed to find the 3* and develop them that MSU seemingly couldn't, aside from the one extreme case where a walk on became an All American.

They had a solid run there from like 2000-2010.  Ainge, James Banks, Clausen?  Guarantano was actually a 5* I think, as is the kid they have coming in.

I know.
I'm just saying that that situation at LB is about to turn around.  DL too.
I think.
Million-Dollar Mike left us with a bad rep that has to be overcome by on-field improvement.

They get some, and they disappear.  They some dude named Manning a while back who was decent.
