TE Development

Wiltfong puts in a CB pick this AM to flip Kurt Radfal from IU. One of our original targets who got away. Also the IU insider as well.

Nice! One of our first targets at TE, coaching change at IU must have opened the door.

I guess it will depend on who the tight end coach is moving forward... Tavita has done an ok job maintaining the talent, but it's too early to tell if he can actually develop it.

Or recruit it in the first place

Pleasant development for the Huskers. Not so good for Indiana. Wonder now if we can steal an OT from Minnesota? Blaise Andries was an early target of ours.

6'7" 230 now that's some good news.

I don't think he was recruited as hard originally, but not a bad fallback opinion.

He was recruited hard as well, visited at approx same time as Leitao and they were told first to commit got the spot. Rafdal still wanted to visit Auburn, held off and the rest is history.

I, personally feel that Rafdal has the bigger long term upside.

Indeed. Radfal is no Plan B. Falo and that other kid from like Washington who was buddies with Riley were two pretty primo targets, but unlikely to leave the West coast. Not that the difference is earth shattering, but Radfal is actually the higher rating composite by a smidge.

IMO both Radfal and Leitao are ready to play right away. Long term I'd rather have the 6'7 guy because I think having a pair of Gronks on the field would be rather helpful. 6'7 and 6'8 is tough to defend, with him and Allen.

Decommited and has set up an official visit to Nebraska. So I am told.

Does he have officials set up for other schools as well? If so, who? Thanks
