Tyler Maro.

Very Highly rated recruit.
Recruitment list is beyond ISU oline typical. Impressive.
Now a senior, and not mentioned much.
Just wondering...

I wouldn't call an 87 composite very highly rated but he's gotten beat out and recruited over. He's practically only played ST since being here

Once they're on campus, high school recruiting rankings are completely meaningless.

Impressive list/offers.
NE, KS, OR, Stanford, ASU, CA, IL, Indiana, NDS, OSU, TCU, UCLA, UT, Duke....

We have had few, if any oline recruits (in recent history), that can match this level of interest..
Just sayin.... and wondering.

Was he going to some sort of haiku? Sentence structure seemed like it was written as some sort of poem or song lyric?

Concerning.
I have many concerns.

Tyler had three qualities that made him appealing. One, he was long. Two, he was athletic, moved his feet very well. And three, the reason that he got most of those offers (see Duke, Stanford, Cal…) was elite academics.

The problem was, while he moved extremely well, that was at 6’7” and around 250. Maybe that much.

It seems pretty apparent that, in adding 50+ pounds, he lost a step or three.

That happens with some guys. Similar thing happened with Grant Treiber. And Hayden Pauls.

I’m hoping it doesn’t happen with Kuol Kuol.

Personally, I’m just happy Tyler is a solid backup, and chose to stay for his final year, rather than portalling out.

Oh yeah. If you want to see a really impressive offer list, take a look at Will Tompkins’. He was still racking them up when he committed.

And no, he didn’t weigh 250 or 260 his senior year. He’ll be fine.
