This rule of thumb only is valid when you have at least 15 ol already available. If you don’t have 15 minimum you must increase the rate at which you sign them till one has reached the level of stability – hopefully something greater than 15.
OSU, Bama, FSU, Clemson, etc are at this place of stability and the last several years the above teams have in general been following your ‘general rule of thumb’.
Another teaam that is trying to amass all the OL’s available that they can is Smart at Ga. Look how many they have lined up as well as for next year.
Harbaugh & co must sign 6 or 7 this year and 7 next year – and next years class will be small compared with these last 2 but he must sign 7 next year.
We have enough gazelles & jack rabbits – we need Cape Buffalo.
