Red Storm Brewing Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Here is a link to home town article on Brent. Didnt know he also was State Shot Put champ, besides All State in Baskeball...the guy might be IT. http://www.willistonherald.com/articles/20...xt#blogcomments If you're 6'7" in a little town in ND you'd better be all-state basketball but still think he could be a great OG Size doesn't have to do with all of it. His brother plays Division I ball at Montana. I think it shows more that Brent is an athlete, and we may have found something big under that rock up in ND that very few others knew about. I believe that Milt Tenopir loved recruiting line men with strong basketball ties and backgrounds, because they had excellent foot work and that made teaching his technique that much easier.

huskertim Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I'd love to see a frosh in the rotation, you have to look ahead 2 years and figure who the team will have to fill the holes when these current Srs and Jrs graduate. Right now, I'm not seeing much in the way of RS Froshes or Sophs (Caputo and Jones the obvious exceptions) in the mix for playing time but I'm sure we'll see some guys mature troughout the season.

missouri_husker24 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Just got off the phone with a friend of mine on the 105 man roster. He said Qvale is an absolute stud. Said he expects great things from him this year. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Do you know what position? Quote Link to comment
huskers1 Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 I would assume right guard since that's what he's practicing at right now. I guess he could probably play either guard spot though if christenson slips a little. Quote Link to comment
RedDenver Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 At 6'9" wouldn't he be a more prototypical OT than OG? I understand why he's at RG right now, just asking the question in general. Quote Link to comment

I believe that Milt Tenopir loved recruiting line men with strong basketball ties and backgrounds, because they had excellent foot work and that made teaching his technique that much easier. Actually, size is everything in that size of school. I made that statement with an assumption he was a pretty athletic guy. I'm not bashing the guy, I just grew up in an area like that and at 6'3" and a PG the height made it easy for me. The good knews he isn't suffering from Big Fish Small Pond syndrome. A lot of college athlethes like myself and Brent tend to get overwhelmed when the competition level grows that much from what we are used to in the small schools. I suffered from it, he isn't so far. That's a very good thing. Quote Link to comment
huskers1 Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 I don't think he is 6'9, more 6'7 but yes you would think even at 6'7 he would be a better tackle. IMO if we are thin at guard and he can bust some holes open then more power to him. Quote Link to comment
caveman99 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I don't think he is 6'9, more 6'7 but yes you would think even at 6'7 he would be a better tackle. IMO if we are thin at guard and he can bust some holes open then more power to him. At this point, if he is good enough to crack the 2-Deep at Guard then let him play guard this year. Doesn't mean that next season he doesn't move over to Tackle. Isn't Tackle more about arm length though, anyone know if Qvale has the length they like at Tackle? Quote Link to comment
Vince from ShamWOW Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I don't think he is 6'9, more 6'7 but yes you would think even at 6'7 he would be a better tackle. IMO if we are thin at guard and he can bust some holes open then more power to him. I ran into him the other day and would agree he is about 6' 6" - maybe 6' 7". He's a nice kid, or seemed like it anyway. Quote Link to comment

Vince from ShamWOW Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Qvale is out for the rest of the fall practices? I just heard this on ESPN 1620. Quote Link to comment
holvy83 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Qvale is out for the rest of the fall practices? I just heard this on ESPN 1620. read about it on the LJS website, also has been replaced on the 105 man roster with unspecified injury... Quote Link to comment
huskers1 Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 He was replaced by Quentin Tiaoula the redshirt freshman and former DT. Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Qvale is out for the rest of the fall practices? I just heard this on ESPN 1620. that's going to hurt, he was projected to play as a true freshman......crap! Quote Link to comment
