  1. All that work and they can't even get Han and Chewy in the correct seats????? Other than that, that's crazy good.
  2. For comparison, the East Stadium Expansion cost $63.5M USA Today
  3. ESPN Well, I guess if you're going to lose out to someone, Bronko Nagurski would be acceptable.
  4. Checked in at The Opening at 6-1, 218 and registered a 33 in vertical.
  5. I don't know what being an upper-classman has to do with anything. Either they are good enough or they're not. We'll have Newell, Stoltenberg and the Davis twins. If anyone would get hurt we could be in trouble but we could have a walk-on to help fill in or if we can get a stud freshman perhaps they'd be ready for some spot duty. The upperclassman part is about having a couple of years of post HS S&C to be D-Line ready. I would rather have a JUCO fill a contributing spot than force a true Fr. into action. If HH had bothered to bring in a HS DT last year, then I would be ok with 3 HS DTs this class and letting the RFr. be the 5th contributor. IMO 5 players who can contribute in a meaningful way at DT is preferable. Like I said, it really only matters if you can get the job done or not. Being here an extra year or two helps but it's only one way to get better, not a guarantee. We would only be forcing a freshman to contribute if we're forced to get down to our #5 DT (assuming there aren't any walk-ons to help out). It's a bit of a gamble but it's the spot we put ourselves in by not taking any last year. I'm all about having as much talent as possible. If we can get a stud JUCO DT, that would be great. But unless it's a top-shelf guy, I doubt he'd be more talented than the Davis twins - who would be working on their third year in the program by them - or even significantly better than Stoltenberg or Newell who would be fourth-year juniors. And all of those guys are going to be getting significant reps this year so they'll have as much experience as any JUCO would and been in our program for longer. So I don't like the idea of bringing in a JUCO who may play or may not. I'd rather take my chances on a freshman who you hope you don't have to play but at worst is already working on building those years into the program for 3-4 years down the road.
