Coach Schlarman recruited Landon Young, Drake Jackson, Kash Daniel, Kyle Meadows, Logan Stenberg, Austin Dotson. He helped with Nick Lewis and Kenneth Horsey. Young was a 5 star prospect.
Neil Brown while here laid the ground work with a bunch of the ky kids who are on the team now. Young, Jackson and Daniel. All 3 of those kids grew up wildcats and while Jackson was a top center in the class Young was a guy who kept climbing the rankings. Also do you think Stenberg who chose us over UAB, Southern Miss and Troy at the time of his commitment had an impact on him by Ansley? After all it was his territory and Ansley had offered several guys from his school. Of course Ansley ended up leaving a little later and going to Bama.
I know that Young, Jackson and Daniel have stated they liked Schlarman and I certainly hope that Schlarman is in communication with any OL target we are after. Would be stupid of the staff not to recruit guys your going to be coaching. A lot of the lineman we have on the team Schlarman was not the primary recruiter as it was not his territory to be and that is understandable. Its when you have a ton of instant talent and you can't land them, thats what hurts.
I'd much rather landed 5 star Wills from Ky than project Nick Lewis from florida. Alabama thought so as well.
