Thanks Taft!

We offered this kid early so the coaches must like something he brings to the table. Not really blown away by the schools we are competing against for him.

He's from a suburb of Fargo, so probably under most school's radars.bananasnblondes said:We offered this kid early so the coaches must like something he brings to the table. Not really blown away by the schools we are competing against for him.
But yeah, would be great to get a commit from one of the first DL they offered after KDB became coach. -

He’s a dawg!

Anytime you can get a top 1000 recruit you have to be excited

He's decent. Not a very exciting pickup but has the physical tools. I think Inoke has a pretty good rep as a talent developer. This kid can certainly be better than Sam Taimani with proper development and coaching, which is what this staff is going to have to rely on

Our TBS team should do an analysis of how players perform when they commit with a well-written letter like that versus a vid like WedingtonRaceBannon said: -
"My dad came with me this time (his coach made the visit with him in April) and he loved it. My mom doesn't fly, so we need to figure out a way to get here out there for a visit. Hopefully during the season we'll be able to get out there. She's supportive of my decision and my dad and I shared with her what it is like out there."
From the Eckland commitment article.
Mom won't fly. Just won't. -

Just like the twins (the good one at least), this guy will be way better than many of the four star bum DT’s we got during the leveling up phase. Hudl looks good and this guy could be a player.Tequilla said:Anytime you can get a top 1000 recruit you have to be excited

Sure … anything is possible and to some extent we all know that OL/DL can be some of the toughest to evaluateRoadDawg55 said:

Data tells us though that you’re more likely to be successful recruiting highly rated players than relying on developing the diamonds in the rough … that shouldn’t be that debatable -
He’s not a diamond in the rough. He was offered a long time ago and targeted. He’s a big kid that isn’t a total slug. The coaches wanted him.Tequilla said:

This is correct, but, this kid was wanted by Minnesota. They aren't a blue blood but Fleck has raised them up to be on equal footing with Wisconsin (split their last 4) and they were the local school in this fight. If the Minnesota never offered or wasn't a player in his decision I'd be more skeptical. I think this was a pretty good get.Tequilla said:

Worth noting that Matt Campbell was the other finalist, and he's the coach many of us wanted.theknowledge said:

So I’m going to take a wait/see on whether the early offer is an indication of having an eye that others don’t or more of a sign that this was viewed as an easy/attainable get -
I’m not saying this is a bad get
I obviously have respect for what Matt Campbell does and hard not to have respect for what Fleck has done at Minnesota
That said it’s also important to note that beating those schools for recruits likely means we’re closer to a fringe Top 25 program than being firmly within -

Sorry Teq, but you're not outwardly waiting to see anything. Quite the opposite based on your recruiting posts
And I don't know wtf you did to the quote feature lol. This isn't how my reply is supposed to look. -

I tried and failed to fix it. The Nebraska classy thing would've been to not bring attention to it.whatshouldicareabout said:
