It was simply making light of my overlying point that we have much bigger bodies now. Just because you are a big body doesn't mean you are a D1 starter.
RECRUITING: Football commits
- Thread starter JStanz51
- Start date
True, agreed. But big tall wide bodied olinemen coming in is just as important as the foundation of a house. Without a good foundation, you don't have much of a house. You can put in expense flooring, fixtures, and wonderful paint combinations but eventually the house will have structural issues and fail. No different with oline, you can lift them, gain weight, and teach technique but they will fail either in performance or with an injury without the body size.
You are if you are the most agile, mobile, and hostile player at your position. There are a limited number of truly elite players on each roster. Otherwise the guys out there fit my criteria listed above.
Admittedly I have nothing to add in regards to recruits, but I was just going through some threads I rarely read and the NOTE on this first post made me chuckle. Why not just make this an unordered list and remove the entire "note" section?
Okay, that is all. Now back to getting stoked for the season's first Monday Media Conference.

Saw we picked up a preferred walk on commitment from a DSM Lincoln QB today.
Elite 11 is tonight on NFL Network, Re-Al is a part of the select fraternity.
If beating OU at their place and TCU this year don't help our recruiting efforts I don't know what will.
What a different perception if we played for the Big12 championship.

I see Trevor Downing is going to enroll in January.

Any chance we see Re-al play a different position than QB? doesnt look like he had the best of years his senior year.
Probably around the same chance we move Noland because he got beat out by a walkon...none.
lol chill...why so aggressive? I know you're a fairweather fan...but Re-al is a duel-threat QB..he runs arguably better than he throws. He got benched this year in place of a Sophomore. The difference between a pocket qb and a duel threat are -duel threat qbs are generally faster have superior agility, etc.. Also..he's listed anywhere from 5'10- 5'11 1/2...so hes not the 6'4 or 6'5 qb that Noland and Kempt are, so height isnt ideal. Hopefully, hes the next Russell Wilson, but I dont think so.
Be nicer.
