BigRedBuster Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 We have been doing well getting skill positions players from California and other places far away. It sure would be nice if we could get linemen from closer areas. So, I looked at offensive linemen from Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, South Dakota, colorado. Here is what 247 has listed. Trevor Downing Creston IA .8517 OG Ezekiel Creps Arvada, CO .8188 OT Andrew Todd Vinton, IA .8116 OT Zach Ross Des Moines, IA .8016 OG AJ Forbes Bellevue, NE Not Rated OG Will Farniok Sioux Falls, SD Not Rated OC Austin Skaggs Axtell, NE Not Rated OG Chase Arends Dike, IA Not Rated OT Marcus Greer St. Louis, MO Not Rated OG Nolan Potter Cedar Rapids, IA Not Rated OT James Alston Coffeyville CC Not rated OT Thomas Kennedy Lee's Summit, MO Not Rated OT I know most of these just haven't been rated yet. I would hope that players like Farniok would ultimately be rated fairly well. As of right now though, with this little bit of info, it doesn't just jump out as an area that is going to produce a ton of stud O linemen. It will be interesting to see how these ratings change over the next 12 months. Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 May need to go out of the radius. Personally I've always liked going down to Texas for some good lineman. Just counted 5 4 stars and 4 high 3 star lineman out of texas for 2018 and I didn't look too hard on that Quote Link to comment
The Maudfather Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) Man, hell of an offer list. Hopefully this is not a plan A guy. Edited June 29, 2017 by Mavric Moved several posts from the Beresford thread 2 Quote Link to comment

If that's the case, I am inclined to believe that our line is going to have to have a stellar year to save Cav's job. Maybe that's wishful thinking. What does Cav really offer on the recruiting trail or as an offensive line coach in general? Quote Link to comment
famoustitles Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Cavanaugh is too short to be an effective recruiter 1 Quote Link to comment
Ratt Mhule Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Our line recruiting is so far behind our skill positions its not even funny 4 Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 3rd times a charm, right Cav? Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 Have to admit. Our line recruiting (offense specifically) is lacking. If I remember right, wasn't that the main reason why we have a new DB coach? Quote Link to comment
Snowbird Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I will defend Cav a little, he has gotten some good players. But I don't see it with this kid. They don't need to offer a below average 6"7 kid from Washington? Find another kid in the Midwest. Watching this kids film I just don't see it. Quote Link to comment
Hedley Lamarr Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 All I know is every coach he replaces has been a nice upgrade. Quote Link to comment
Huskers44 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 If memory serves me right Matt Slauson was unrated and he was a beast. Let's not forget these kids are 17 or younger they are still developing. The amount I grew every year of Highschool and two years of college is crazy. They still have room for development physically easy. This guy looks to have an OT frame he could be good. Give him a shot guys. Quote Link to comment

You might be right but I'd feel better if other schools aside from us, WSU and OSU also saw his "potential" 1 Quote Link to comment
