By the reactions to Eletise. I get that we all thought he was "in the bag" and it sucks to lose him. With him and Wattenberg, we were on our way to another bumper crop. And yes, we need all the good lineman we can get. The more the merrier. This isn't losing Garnett though. And what made Garnett's lose especially bad was the OL class before him consisted of Dexter Charles and Tufunga. There was not a Wattenberg type prospect to mitigate Garnett's loss like Twattenberg.
I'm luke warm on Petersen. Maybe it is premature, but last season was way too big of a disappointment for me to simply shrug off. Same for three straight years of medicore (at best) offense. That said, Eletise is one prospect at a position that Petersen has been doing well at in recruiting. And it's still early enough to maybe flip a guy committed to another school and there are always diamonds in the rough out there, waiting to be found. The recruit to panic about was Eason (sorry). It's not Eletise.
