Rouse to OU

[dinglefritz]

Not using this as a "didn't want him anyway", but I heard Sipple say he needed shoulder surgery and probably wouldn't be available for the spring practice...

Definitely not available for spring and not able to lift for months.

I don’t believe either NU or OU would have wasted a scholly on the guy if they thought he wouldn’t be ready to play. Just my opinion.

I’ve heard a complete recovery from labrum surgery can take up to a year. IF it’s his left shoulder that’s especially concerning for a left tackle. He might make it back by September but I doubt he’ll be 100%. We’re desperate for a left tackle and it’s worth the risk for us.

Why would Raiola - whom we’ve been told over and over is a good recruiter & coach - knowingly go after a player with one arm?

What type of line is raiola putting out next year?

 

[Dean Pope]

quoting scriptures is such a lazy cop out

Right out of the playbook of every crooked and greedy politician. He should have thrown in an American flag in the background just for good measure.

Because we’re desperate for a left tackle. Rouse at 75% is better than what we’ve had

Both of OU’s starting tackles declared for the draft, so they might have been desperate as well. Might explain why both schools pushed so hard to get him. Even if not 100% he will provide depth, at the very least.

If we have a good coach and recruiter in charge of the OL, how is it we are desperate to fill the most important position there?

Something doesn’t add up

Not a good look for the OL coach in my opinion.

It was greg Austin's fault

Maybe he talked to Jonathan Martin

He didn’t recruit Benhart. Do you want him to play an incoming true freshman that he did recruit? How quickly you forget that he did get a starting center for us through the portal that came largely to play for Raiola. Scott has also started some games at left tackle for ASU.

Unfortunately, a one-armed Rouse is better than what we got.
