Wow, we have further to go than I thought.
His dad played at NU and he was giddy to get offer from Arkansas while on an NU visit. nuff said.Don't read too much into this. From his comments I think this guy was fixated on the SEC. in general, I do think our lack of success with OL development is clearly hampering our ability to recruit quality prospects.
Not his dad, the Arkansas coach who texted him was born in Evanston and his dad played at NU.His dad played at NU and he was giddy to get offer from Arkansas while on an NU visit. nuff said.
He has no family connections to NUThe irony is that, aside from his family connections to NU, this board likely would have been up in arms if he had committed to NU. "HE ONLY HAD OFFERS FROM ARKANSAS, IOWA STATE, AND COLORADO STATE!!??!!?!! WE NEED TO BE DOING BETTER THAN THAT!!!"

Sorry guys, I guess I totally misread the article. More coffee please.He has no family connections to NU
Shake up the coaching staff? Did they legalize pot in your state?It does make you wonder if the OL coach at Arkansas could be someone we look at if Fitz decides to reshuffle his staff next year and bring in a 10th coach. With his connections to Evanston and NU he would certainly be someone worth evaluating.

That's correct. The OL coach at Arkansas, not Shane Clenin, was the one whose dad played at NU and who grew up in Evanston.

I think there is a better chance to see it happen next year when the 10th position coach is added. Fitz could reshuffle responsibilities without letting anyone go, which I think has been part of the hesitancy to this point. I think expectations are up this season for a variety of reasons and another sub par year from the OL may force Fitz's hand. I certainly feel a sense of urgency with some the shuffling that is going on with that unit and also with the news that Heffner is working full time with the unit. If the OL performs poorly again this season, I just don't see how a change can be resisted.

Considering that Arkansas is 107th in APR, a quality student is a good get for them.Shane Clenin, a Class of 2017 OL recruit that was offered by Arkansas while on his recruiting visit to NU. Sounds like he will be an early contributor and a good one for Arkansas. These are the type of OL we need to start landing.

Maybe they are being raised non gender specific.The final paragraph definitely brings forth more questions than answers:
"Anderson and his wife Jennifer have five children: sons Hawken and Torin, daughter Dagny and twins Odin and Raina."
Question: Do the twins have the same gender? Different genders? Which one?
Note: It's a shame that they've cut out Glenview as his rightful hometown. His brother Erick was a Butkus winner at Michigan in the 1991. Both from Glenbrook South.
Corbi, do you think that Coach Heffner's spending more time with the OL ( read this on a previous
post ) is indicative that Fitz is already showing his hand?
