We just offered HUGE lineman

[BigRedBeliever]

who is an ISU commit. 6'8" 300 pounder. I hope our QB's can pass over him...These coaches never quit...OT is Bobby Lawrence out of St. Joe, Missouri.

 

[TFrazier_rivals269992]

Reports are stating that he has committed to Iowa State on a gray shirt offer. Hopefully he is a diamond in the rough kind of recruit.

 

[21Husker1984]

Holy mackerel that’s a big ole hoss. I hope Tanner Martinez can see over him right?

Posted in the oline thread

We are reaching a bit - but as you said hopefully he can develop

 

[RedSea_rivals91325]

Photo of him looks like he has room to add a few pounds too.

 

[BigB87]

His HUDL film looks decent. Does a good job of maintaining his blocks through the play, although they are highlights so it's hard to tell if he does it consistently. Does look like he may get by with his size, seems he is HUGE compared to his competition, not sure how good his technique is. But, you can teach technique, can't teach size.

 

[Antwill]

Does this mean we aren't confident about Bell?

 

[anon_umk0ifu6vj6zi]

I hope his knees hold up. I felt bad for coach Austin watching him hobble around at the hoops game last night. He is a big man, and you can tell his knees are basically jelly

I can’t believe offering an Iowa state gray shirt can be taken any other way - we are scrambling for OL

Who? Do you mean Adrian Martinez or is there a new guy i dont know about?

 

[chicolby]

He looks like he could also lose a few pounds.

 

[phoenix4nu]

Surprised Minnesota didn't offer him.

 

[Husker.Wed._rivals]

Maybe they are looking to move him to nose on D.

 

[Harry Caray]

Does this mean we aren't confident about Bell?

I'm guessing we gave Bell a deadline to commit and that deadline has passed. However, I thought we were still on in better OL prospects than this kid (McDonald, Sampson, Hall).

 

[Husker.Wed._rivals]

I was just driving through Norco, CA this morning and was behind a Durango with Florida plates. I thought for a second maybe someone from our staff was giving Bell one last shot, but then figured they would have flown and rented a car if they did that.

 

[Cornicator]

The kid is 6'8 300 and ran a 4.91 electronic forty at the Opening Combine.

 

[inWV]

We need tackles, the kid has tackle size.

 

[jlb321_rivals110621]

The kid is 6'8 300 and ran a 4.91 electronic forty at the Opening Combine.

And most power 5 schools in the area know this and have evaluated him

Or maybe more expected attrition. Just spitballing

Sure hope so and not some scramble to get someone..

Holy crap. Is Tony Mandarich his dad?

 

[Harry Caray]

The kid is 6'8 300 and ran a 4.91 electronic forty at the Opening Combine.

The 4.91 was his agility time. His 40 time was 5.36.

Ha.. thanks.. i am illiterate

WAY too tall for NT

 

[HuskerLLM]

No longer after McDonald or Sampson

Hall likes everywhere he visits and each school is sure they have him, glad we are getting the last visit

Frost is smart, if this kid agrees to hit the weight room hard and really work on S&C, this will be a true diamond. You can teach technique and put forth effort, but you can't teach size and speed.

 

[inWV]

Obviously needs some work on his speed but he is very big for a 17 yr old. Could be a real mauler.

 

[WoodRiverJennings]

I thought Bell was being recruited as a Guard. This guy would be a Tackle. I would guess that this says more about our standing with the T prospects like H. Hall.

To save other the time:

Sure it wasn't Miles that offered?

 

[Headcard]

Missouri also just offered him.

 

[PeliniTheCrutch_rivals294365]

That speed is just fine for an incoming frosh.

 

[Rcnut223]

Missouri is watching what Frost and his team are doing.

I think they offered him the day before we did. Anyway, if they just chant SEC, SEC at him enough, they will probably land him. Right?

 

[jimbosc]

We need offensive tackles....might have to take a few chances to file the pipeline. That said - maybe they like who he is more than pure measurables.

Seemed to work with Hill
