SouthLincoln Husker Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 We need the big dude playing guard next to him. He looks bigger than 340. Looks more intimidating on film. The guys has very little upper body strength. FYI - meaning the guy next to Paulo. Quote Link to comment
Hedley Lamarr Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Hell give the guy next to him a walk on spot. Put those 2 through some serious weight room work and see what happens Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I watched the film of him vs Burbank. It appeared like he was playing against a middle school team. I have concerns he isn't quick enough on his feet to play tackle in the Big 10. Neither did I see many pancakes vs guys 70 pounds lighter than him. He might be effective in a big back, drive the ball down the field offense. I realize he isn't a finished product at this level. He will need some serious coaching. His offer list tells me all I need to know regarding his potential. I have Faith in coach cav this Quote Link to comment

It's possible that he is playing tackle because he is the best lineman on the team and you put your best players where they can help you the most. Also, is it common for a LT to be 340 lbs? Seems like that is too much weight for a tackle. Wisconsin is known for their big beefies on the O-Line and on their two deep at OT are 6-5, 321\6-6, 295\6-6, 303\6-7, 320. At OG they have 6-7,324\6-5, 301\6-5, 317\6-4, 299 Quote Link to comment
blarson3 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 The fact that we haven't seen any excited tweets today from the coaches makes me a little nervous about his decision. I would love to have this guy though. Can't teach that size. Quote Link to comment

SouthLincoln Husker Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I think Paulo carries his weight very well. Quote Link to comment
SouthLincoln Husker Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 It is weird that we have not heard anything, considering he said 10. Quote Link to comment
B.B. Hemingway Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 It is weird that we have not heard anything, considering he said 10. Maybe 10 Hawaii time! Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Let me clarify a couple things. Scout PREDICTED around 10. (I didn't realize it was an estimate either) He was delayed last night in Denver so it's unknown when he got home. He could be busy contacting coaches to let them know he isn't attending their school first. I'm guessing getting home so late delayed things. Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Paulo's words yesterday were apparently first thing in the morning, but that is what I'm predicting got pushed back with the flight delays and what not. Quote Link to comment
