I'm not talking about 2014, nor 2015. Ohio will be very deep at DT this fall, and as you said, there will be still be good depth in 2015 2016, however, is a different situation. Over the next two years you will lose Crutcher, McLeod, Purdum, and Tautuaiki, leaving only Porter and Aloese. The walkon/grayshirt Chalmer Freuauf may also figure into the picture as well.
If you recruit someone in the 2015 class, particularly for a line position, you expect them to redshirt in 2015, and to fight for a playing role in 2016 as a redshirt Freshman, but then to be a major contributor in 2017-2019. If you want to have players ready for 2016 and beyond, they either need to be recruited now, or you will need to add JUCOs later, or move someone inside such as Sayles or Kuhar.
