I agree with Scott's comments. In writing my comment, however, I was 
thinking not of freshmen but of Junior College 0-linemen like Ole 
Dagunduro on the defensive side. (Should have made that clear.) JC 
O-linemen have a year or two more experience than freshmen and have 
proven themselves at a level considerably above high school. 
Naturally not every recruited JC O-lineman has made the grade, but in 
any case they're a better bet than high school kids, particularly 
when the question is one of immediate help.
