SIGNED LB Josh Banderas

[PaulCrewe]

They need to offer and sell him early. Lots of interest for him already.

Don't really think ther is going to be much a sell needed. He gets the offer, he commits. Set it in stone now. That is a bold recruiting prediction for those that are starting to frequent the best forum on the board.

Nice to see some solid in-state recruits for next year. This kid looks solid to me!

One player that Helmholdt predicts could see a major bump in his offer list is Lincoln (Neb.) Lincoln Southwest linebacker Josh Banderas, who had outstanding junior film and then shined at the recent U.S. Army National Combine. Rivals.com starts Banderas at No. 185.



"Physically, Banderas was the most impressive-looking linebacker at the prestigious combine," Helmholdt said. "He then went out and showed great athleticism, covering running backs one-on-one. Only Tulsa has offered Banderas but his offer list will grow rapidly once teams get a chance to see him in person."

That is impressive and he could end up as a top 50 guy if he plays well.

Not surprised he made the rivals 250, kid will be a stud.

I get that he is a legacy, but is our pursuit of so many linebackers a reflection on the ability of some of this years LBs to get qualfied?

No, it's more of a reflection that we have zero depth at the LB spot right now. Adding in the 2012 class will help, but we need to add maybe 2 in the 2013 class.

Why no offer yet?

Yeah that, we lose Compton, Whaley, and Fisher this year and after that I think we have like 2 or 3 scholarship players besides the incoming freshmen.

Is there any updates on the current commits as far as qualifyng goes. I know there were a couple guys that were borderline.

Moore, and Afalava still need to be cleared.

This guy could be the best prospect to come out of the state in recent memory. He will definitely be offered and if he doesn't accept too quickly, I bet he cracks rivals top 100. He reminds me a lot of Von Miller.

I have a feeling he commits very shortly after being offered
