Recruiting

His cancer put a big dent in his ability to recruit. He's been one of the "influencers" on some of those kids from Florida we've been getting who aren't linebackers.
The way I heard it was that one of the other assistants insisted that Bo offer him when they looked at him. In any case, he was a guy that a lot of programs dismissed because of his lack of size.
It’s really an unfortunate situation, that has left our OLB situation in a very bad position.
I'm not sure if we know right now if our OLB situation is all that bad. We've got one kid who is injured and redshirting who will play out there probably. IMO, Snodgrass could maybe play out there. Others have said Henrichs could. The Wright kid is a really big safety. Nelson is going to be a stud there IMO. We'll have some options I think but they'll be young. I'm guessing Tannor and Nelson will be our starting outside linebackers next year. We need to add some depth.
IMO none of the writers have the correct numbers for what we are going to bring in at the linebacker spot this cycle. We have 6 ILB's, 3 are redshirting, and only 1 graduates. Bringing in 1 more gives us a complete 3 deep. You don't want to bring in too many too fast and end up not balancing out the roster from young to veterans. That is one thing that the writers always fail to realize when talking numbers. If they do bring in more than 1 ILB' it will be a JUCO along with a high school kid.
At OLB I think we only taken 1 more, 2 at most.
If you brought in 2 high school ILB's in this class then you would have 5 ILB's that are freshman and redshirt freshman. That is NOT how you develop a healthy position over the long haul. You want them spread out.

So as it turns out the list is long. Overall when we've been selective and not just thrown sh$$ at the wall like Callahan and Frost both had to do their first years, we've had very good success with our JUCO players. Mills was a good addition this year and filled an immediate need. Hopefully we can find a pass rushing OLB and a big time WR this year. I would like another BIG bopper RB to fill Mo's spot if he doesn't come back. A 230 lber running a 4.5 would be nice
Terrell Farley sends his regards. Cut short and all that, but still magical in '95.
that's why i asked the question ...I couldn't remember the successful juco guys we had..
rumors from minny are things starting to warm up between Johnson and Fleck. they think it's either minny or Johnson will head to SEC.
Why in the actual hell are you comparing Alabama and Nebraska right now? If you want to piss yourself off and make your day worse, great plan.
I was getting nervous about OLB recruiting until I saw this kid is visiting.....this kid is ideal for a Big Ten game as a 3-4.
