DE Rohan Blackwood [South Florida - Signed LOI]

[girlknowsfootball]

I really like his knack for finding the ball and tackling the ball carrier. He seems patient but persistent. Almost seems like that level of play is boring for him. According to Rivals he is now up to 6'5" and about 220... but he has another year left in high school where he could easily gain 15 lbs like the dude said in the post above. I like this guy. If it comes down to us and Wisconsin... I think once he sees our place he will fall in love. Especially with the new research center we have... the kids will see those motion cameras we have like the ones they use to create the athletes moves in the video games and they will think that is super cool. I truly think we have so much more to offer than Wisconsin.

We need this guy big time. With Ankrah Graduating... we will have Gregory for 2 years, Moss for 3, McMullen for 3, Natter for 4... and nothing behind that. We need 2 solid DE prospects in this class who can come in and contribute with speed off the end right away.

Agree that we need at least 2 DEs, but Gregory is 3 for 3.

Yes good job.... we do. If you notice... I'm talking about 2014... so at that time these guys will have this amount of years left.

Peyton Newell said he will start peer recruiting this kid right away...

15 sacks as a JR.

Nebraska in the am cant wait man !!!

 

Not much news about how his visit went. Sounds like he spent time with Newell (hopefully, that will work in our favor). Blackwood will be at Wisconsin next weekend (vs Tennessee Tech).

[girlknowsfootball]

I didn't ever see anything come out about this guys visit last weekend. I saw him at the game so I know he was there, but none of the recruiting services dished about his visit. Maybe he is not talking to the media or doing interviews? Or maybe his visit sucked cause we played so bad.

[B.B. Hemingway]

After watching Gregory, Nebraska would have to be appealing to him.... Not mention we're his best offer (at least of the offers listed in this thread).

Brooksville (FL.) Nature Coast Technical DE Rohan Blackwood has committed to Wisconsin #Badgers

Close them when they are on campus. That's how it's done.

I can't help but wonder if he saw all the young talent on the DL and thought to himself that he would likely have to wait a long time to get on the field. I think it is going to be difficult to recruit for the front 7 this year for that reason. Not that we can't find kids who don't care about that but they are going to have to be the right kind of kids to commit into that kind of situation.

Yeah, but look at Wisconsin's defense. They are shutting out everyone they play right now. They might have a better D than MSU. There has to be plenty of talent there, and Gary Anderson is a hell of a coach. It may not be easy to get on the field there early either

I know, they're shutting down all the powerhouse teams.
