Likely New Commit

kucyclone · 02-05-2008, 06:50 PM

Ron Prince is just making whoever the next KSU coach more and more mad.

This is the second kid he has tried to pull a scholarship from in order to get him to grayshirt.

First, Joe Caprioglio, a 3* OL, would up at CSU, undoubtedly pissed at KSU and Prince.

Now, Prince did the same thing to 2* Brayden Burris, from Witchita. According to the K-State beat writer at the Wichita Eagle, (K-Stated » The Wichita Eagle’s Jeffrey Martin takes you inside K-State sports) (sorry, don't know how to link on this board) he will likely end up at ISU.

Here's his profile:

Thanks for the info. If Burris comes to ISU, looks like he'll be spending plenty of time at the training table & in the weight room...

6'5" is a HELLA good frame for a football player. Depends what position he'll play of course.

Needs major strength....Rivals shows his bench as only 250. That's pretty puny for a guy that size. Good frame though.

Depend on which of the 3 links posted you use as your reference.
6-7 230 Scout
6-6 260 Wichita Eagle’s
6-5 250 Rivals
the middle one being the most recent.

I bench 250 lbs and I weigh 170. Not very impressive.

I like his videos, he really blocks well.

I liked what I saw on the videos. Too many hs OL can put up numbers in the weight room, but don't know how to use their hands and feet to actually block someone. This kid knows how to gain and maintain position on the guy he is blocking. The lifting numbers can be addressed much easier than trying to correct agility and footwork issues.

Good job?

isufbcurt · 02-05-2008, 08:50 PM

i couldn't bench 250 in high school, but Getty fixed that atISU.

CY ST8T · 02-05-2008, 09:13 PM

Sorry, but 6'7" 230 lbs. won't win be anything I am excited unless it is for GMAC and the kid is an animal. For an offensive tackle this has to be pure potential.

BigM · 02-05-2008, 09:32 PM

im thinkin an extra 40lbs and a red shirt and he's either a reserve ot or dt

ripvdub · 02-05-2008, 09:32 PM

Sorry but bench dont mean ****. A bench press is no indication of a persons strength. Its just chest and shoulders right? maybe a lil bit of arm strength? Why dont they start showing players power clean numbers? Isnt that a better way to figure out how powerful a person if. I am by no means an expert, its just my opinion.

BigM · 02-05-2008, 09:33 PM

ya your right a bench is just chest and shoulders witch coincedntally are two of the most used muscles when blocking plus leg drive of course

Bench means little for football. Squat, clean, athleticism are more important.

Look at Kyle Turley. The man played at OT in the NFL the last couple years weighing around 260 (per what he said on Jim Rome)
