O-Line

Yes, we lost one OL pledge to Michigan, Dan Samuelson.

That or Gabriel Miller could be considered an OLineman but is really on board to be a long snapper.

I hadn't thought of that with Miller, I guess technically he is a lineman, even if just for a limited role.

I am glad we signed 5 guys and hope we sign 4 next year. It's very important to get Lineman (both ol and dl) in the program early and develop them. Get them stronger & bigger & quicker. Let them mature. Especially o-line as it takes a bit to learn those spots and it's harder to project them. I think it's much easier to find skill players for making an immediate impact at their respective positions because for the most part speed&quickness is easy to spot and it's easier to evaluate and bring those guys in.

 

I think as far as developing good players. I think you can develop lineman, TE, FB's and LB's the easiest. Probably because it takes longer to mature the bigger guys. I think it's harder to develop the skill positions.

NEB's 2013 o-line class is pretty damn good IMO. I just wish NEB landed a few JUCO DT targets....not biggie though. I believe this is Bo's best class thus far.
