We have to manage our scholarships better and this is a good thing. No guarantees that non-contributors get a free ride for 4 years.With Ezra Miller and Nouredin Nouili added to the OL roster, the loss of Anderson and even another player won't be a big hit from a numbers standpoint.
Another case of a guy who was recruited over. There's no way to know if this is COVID related or if he just realizes he isn't going to play here. He had some other good offers if I recall correctly.I was wondering if he or Fritzchke (sp) might hit the portal. Several OT's in his grade or younger ahead of him on the depth chart.
Good luck to him, hope he finds a place to play.
Seemed like a good get at the time.Another case of a guy who was recruited over. There's no way to know if this is COVID related or if he just realizes he isn't going to play here. He had some other good offers if I recall correctly.
He was definitely at a position of great need and I think Frost had been on him early while he was still at UCF.Seemed like a good get at the time.

KSU isn't a terrible offer and right now there's some players in the Sun Belt we could use. As I said, he was a project and we all knew that.His only other P5 sniff was KState, otherwise it was Sun Belt and FCS offers.

IF he's a kid that size who was athletic enough to play TE in high school it can be a great strategy. The NFL has a lot of guys playing OT who played TE in high school or college. Adam Carriker was a high school QB. I think he would have been an animal as a college OT. Riley Reiff from Parkston SD who was a high school TE and linebacker if I remember correctly is still a starting left tackle for the Vikings. The problem with most high school OTs is that they aren't athletic enough.Rivals said there was an offer, but 247 doesn’t show one and his Husker bio showed he held offers from Louisiana Tech, Louisiana and Western Kentucky, among others. Guessing KState didn’t even offer, taking a 250-260 pound kid and hoping to put 50-70 pounds on him doesn’t seem like an effective strategy.
I thought I remembered KSU being after him pretty hard, right after Kleinman got hired. This shows why OL is such a numbers game. Some kids can’t put on the weight, some don’t keep their athleticism when they put on the weight.Rivals said there was an offer, but 247 doesn’t show one and his Husker bio showed he held offers from Louisiana Tech, Louisiana and Western Kentucky, among others.

I'm not surprised based upon his inability to gain weight, but I was excited about him when we recruited him. He seemed like a good kid, big frame, and had some great interviews. He was the kid who lost his mom right? I wish him the best.
Yes. I recall when he was recruited that I thought he was a good prospect. He was undersized (in weight, not height) so he would need to put on some weight. I thought he represented the kind of players who grow into their body and go from 2 or 3 star projects to NFL draft picks. I didn't expect him to be ready to play for a few years. I don't know exactly how much he's developed, but with the numbers that NU brought into the class on the offensive line, he's already fallen way behind a number of other OL in his same class. Banks and Piper both were tentatively DL when they were recruited but are now contributors on the OL and way ahead of Anderson. Add in Benhart starting at RT, and a couple of transfers coming in last year, I think Anderson was too far down the depth chart to have much hope of starting.The plan was that he add weight and develop as a Tackle. Things didn't go according to plan.
Makes it doubly hard to add weight.Ya it’s a crowded room
there are too many young OLs on the roster. if i were 3-4 of them i would leave.You might see a few guys leave when you oldest starting o-lineman is likely going to be a sophomore next year due to this being a free year of eligibility.
if i were corcoran i would not agree to move from tackle. the money and draft position in the NFL is FAR greater for a left tackle than a guard. other programs would let him play at tackleI believe the top 3 tackles are Corcoran,Benhart and Banks. Fritzche has the opportunity to be the 4th and get on the 2 deep, so this is a big spring for him. You could also see Corcoran slide to LG and Banks play tackle if Banks proves to be in the top 5, so again Fritzche has an opportunity to get in the 2 deep. Other than the unknown of who are 2nd unit guys will be, I have not read or heard how Fritzche is doing, so can't add to the discussion. Personally I like Nouli to win the open guard spot and Banks would stay at tackle.
No there isn't. Injuries happen and we will need to call on guys and have backups ready toothere are too many young OLs on the roster. if i were 3-4 of them i would leave.
If the NFL sees him as a guard, they will draft him and play him as a guard no matter where he plays in college.if i were corcoran i would not agree to move from tackle. the money and draft position in the NFL is FAR greater for a left tackle than a guard. other programs would let him play at tackle
