I don't see us getting him, but he would fill 1 of the few remaining holes in our 2016 class. Would be a great coup for Stoops if he could pull it off.

I don't know. He's not rated very highly and his offers aren't all that impressive. Looks like he jumped on that Michigan offer as soon as he got it last June. Kind of a weird situation.

Not highly ranked according to rivals but i would be happy to add him as a late addition. His offer list has really taken off since his UM scholarship was pulled. He has Illinios, Iowa State, Penn State, USF, Syracuse, UCF and UVA offers along with his recent UK. Hes got good size at 6'5 245lb. We need some pass rushers.

Rowland said a day or 2 ago that UK may have a post-NSD signing, wonder if this is who he meant? Figure the guy has to catch up on his visits and it may take a few weeks. BTW, he looks bigger than his listed size to me.

Harbaugh is a tool. He passes on a kid like this who is also being offered by Ivy League schools? You show me a 3 star rated kid who holds a Dartmouth offer, and I'll tell you right now, the kid is a "take" for anyone.

What's not to like? He is not super quick off the snap but he makes up for it. Big frame, strong, long arms, let's get a commitment.

saw where the kid said that coaches typically think he's 20 pounds lighter than he is. said he isn't shaving yet either. dude is a kid still and said he thinks he'll be 270 after a rs. i'll take that all day.

he's not going to start freshman/rs freshman year but he could be a beast in 3 or 4 years.

I don't like it, but college football is turning into professional football. Look at who has dominated college football recently. Bama was way down when Saban arrived, he immediately started signing everyone he could regardless of how much room he had under 85, then started making cuts to less talented players. By the 3rd year he was playing for a title. Meyer at tOSU came in and immediately made the rest of the Big10 coaches mad because he kept recruiting committed players and upped his talent. Even Butch Jones who isn't a great day game coach by any stretch followed that method by oversigning and cutting players and was close to playing for the NT in his 3rd year, leading late in the 4th quarter in every loss. Harbaugh is a smart guy and sees what it takes to get to the top in a hurry, the difference is he is cutting players before they sign and they don't have to sit a year when they are pushed to transfer. Another couple of seasons Urban with start having health issues when UM starts beating them. Saban ran him out of the SEC won't surprise me at all if Harbaugh doesn't run him out of the Big10.

Weaver's visiting Pitt and Penn State this weekend. Not much of a chance for uk to make a run at him unless he waits until after NSD to sign.

There is a lot to like about the Harbaugh family. Jim is an eccentric dude and his recruiting this year really raises eyebrows. It is like he thought he would not be able to recruit well and then was surprised to find out he can, to the detriment of he early commitments.
