HuskerFowler Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I've also read Washington and NU were top 2 for what it's worth. Also saw Miami may be creeping into it. We may have missed our window. Hopefully we can get him to visit. As long as our guys stay healthy and we pull Newell well be fine. Well see how the season goes thou. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Perhaps we're high enough to at least get a visit but I'm not getting my hopes up. Quote Link to comment
EZ-E Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 If he wants in, great. If not I'm not gonna be angry. I'm not a fan of bringing in a kid the size of Cam Meredith to play DT. Quote Link to comment

He has the frame to hold close to 300 with good weight. Juco meal plans are a little different than the Nebraska nutrition he would receive. Weight shouldn't be an issue. He has something Meredith never had. Quick twitch muscles. Quote Link to comment

Building up to the desired weight in a healthy manner and getting used to playing at the heavier weight generally takes a year to acclimate to, making red shirting linemen almost standard practice. As it is, he is a JUCO and would be counted on right away. His 2nd year could be really good, but I am not sure you would get the immediate impact year 1 which is what you want the player to do as you lose the key development years. Quote Link to comment

theknife Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Any chances another Juco emerges in this cycle? Do we absolutely need one this cycle? Quote Link to comment

Good call mavric. Jared crick plays around 270 280 and he could man the middle fine. This kid doesn't need to hold 300 pounds even though he could. Getting accustomed to a weight is more important to guys that play in space. This kid could get to 280 andplplay inside. I hope it doesn't take a year for guys to get used to weight bc that means Randy Gregory won't play this year he is up to about 260 from 230. Can't wait to see that kid once Dobson and staff get a hold of him. Regardless of the discussion this guy can help is somewhere on the d line. Quote Link to comment

It is hard to get a JUCO DT when you are limited to two tippy-top guys that graduate in December that everybody wants. We're not exactly casting a broad net, and it isn't like we have a Tosh Lupoi to help us beat the odds. On the positive they must have some confidence in what they'll have on-hand if they are so picky about what JUCO they'd bring in. Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Sounds like we may get a visit in November after his season is over. Was hoping we get a visit a little early. Being a December graduate, he might want to pull the trigger mid-fall so he knows where he is going come spring. November is cutting it close. Quote Link to comment
