2002grad: I don't think we wiffed on anyone. Gardner took the o-line spot we had available, leaving Finley out. The only o-lineman left that could have taken an extra spot is Dorian Johnson, who is better than Finley.

It does feel like an uphill battle for O-lineman(probably feels like that because we take twice as many D-lineman not complaining just seems like that), barring a bunch of injuries we should be good. Would be nice to get a good O-lineman class though.
We rely pretty heavy on Ohio for OL, and this year was a pretty bad class beyond Lisle. We'll be in good shape for a 2014 haul, and if we wind up landing Dorian Johnson this year, there is no reason for any worry.
He is a Spartan...heard this a few weeks ago but had to sit on it....good luck to him...Dorian Johnson is the only OL target left as of now and I think if they can land him they take him (unless they flip someone else later on)
Whiffed on another offensive tackle. Imagine if we hadn't flipped Decker and Dodson.

I'm not sure that I would consider it a whiff if he was never seriously interested in us.
