Only an 82 on 247 but a 5.7 on Rivals.
I like loading up on the big boys.
6’6, 6’8 and 6’9. They’ve added some big time height to the football team the last couple years.This is great news, Frost and Austin keep loading up that Oline. That’s a Top 58 OT in Prochazka and two 5.7 3 star Olinemen. Gladly take those big boys.
More choices for Hoiberg next year.6’6, 6’8 and 6’9. They’ve added some big time height to the football team the last couple years.
In this case, he's kind of a big handsome. One of my college frat brothers was an O lineman. The kid looked like a Greek God. There was a steady stream of very attractive young ladies that would come around looking for him. Sometimes when he would hear which girl it was he would go and hide in somebody else's room and tell us to tell her he had left.Nice! Love getting those big uglies.
more importantly some long arms and big hands.6’6, 6’8 and 6’9. They’ve added some big time height to the football team the last couple years.
I tend to agree with this assessment.yeah I have noticed 24/7 and Rivals haven’t been seeing eye to eye on some prospects. But when push comes to shove I’ll take Rivals word over 24/7 more times then not.
I think one is seeing the trend, the other not seeing the benefits.I tend to agree with this assessment.
I also think that of all the positions on a football tram, offensive line is the hardest one to rate. Sure, upper level high school guys tend to trend well in college too. Stars matter, especially with the more elite guys. However, I think offensive line really is a position where a kid with the right frame can be developed into a good to great player. So there really are more “diamonds in the rough” on the offensive line than elsewhere. NU once made a dynasty out of such offensive lineman. Wisconsin and Iowa have done well in this regard as well.

My whole thing is, the staff is elevating their own recruiting, waaaay ahead of previous staffs.Defensive and offensive tackles are the two toughest positions to find quality players, for any team, college or pro. Especially defensive tackles. So when you find a 3 Star big bodied kid like this who can play tackle, you take him. This is in my opinion a great get for us. Frost is rebuilding the pipeline.
Frost understands something Charlie McBride mentioned years ago with regard to Solich’s downfall. The big difference in Nebraska football post Osborne has been the decline in our offensive line. Solich killed the pipeline through poor recruiting and it cost him dearly. Frost knows. Everything starts up front with the offensive line.

And hard to convince a 17 year old kid that an old man who can’t walk is going to be able to coach him properly or to even be a coach for much longer. I loved Uncle Milt and my guess is he stayed on longer than he wanted to out of loyalty to Tom and Frank. But it cost us.A lot of the reason was Uncle Milt had trouble walking and couldn’t travel like he once did so travelIng suffered for him trying to talk and meet recruits..

I take whichever one has the kid rated higher
I think one is seeing the trend, the other not seeing the benefits.
If you're slow slow, or too tall and lose leverage, fine.
But todays game calls for alot of reach blocks, where a little slow isn't as bad as not getting your hands on your guy.
If you're shorter plus likely have shorter arms, these blocks are harder to make even with good speed.
One thing that's either weird, or telling is, tos down rated Corcoran when it was found our he was a qtr in shorter than listed. Maybe his arms are shorter too, don't have that info, but either way, while their writing of his play was exemplary,they still down rated him. Leaving only his height it would seem, as to why.
I have a feeling we may see Turner Corcoran as a OG with B Benhart and B Banks playing OT. Which isn’t a bad thing, Turner at 6’5-6’6 is the shortest OLmen we landed that past several years.
I think we're just seeing the tip of the iceberg with Austin. He's shown he can coach em up, and not just the first five.Hoping Austin sticks around for the next couple decades. We need that stability to rebuild and maintain the pipeline.
Piper at 6'4 is shorter and is a beast. I could see Corcoran moving inside, I could also see him and Benhart at OT's, with Piper and the German kid at OG's and Jurgens at Center.I have a feeling we may see Turner Corcoran as a OG with B Benhart and B Banks playing OT.

Piper is tearing it up. But I think his wingspan is good for his height,his motor is relentless, true homegrown!Piper at 6'4 is shorter and is a beast. I could see Corcoran moving inside, I could also see him and Benhart at OT's, with Piper and the German kid at OG's and Jurgens at Center.
