ASU absolutely needs to land Austin Jackson and it's beginning to look like a longshot. The inability of the program to sign any of the premiere local OL out of high school over the last several years is program crippling.
They've already missed on Keenan Walker, Casey Tucker, Kenny Lacy, Andrus Peat, Christian Westerman (originally), Tyler Johnstone, Cyrus Hobbi, Taylor Lewan and Andre whatshisface over the years. Every 4 or 5 star OL in the state for the last 8 or 9 years has gone elsewhere despite being in ASU's backyard. Most of them wound up being pretty good.
It's turning into a self-fulfilling prophecy that ASU can't get offensive linemen. They have one signed this year, their lowest ranked recruit. They took 5 last year, but 3 were JuCos as they tried to patch holes. It obviously didn't work well.
The weather? Being a big boy playing and practicing in that heat has got to suck.
