He'll have already played his 1st HS game by the time he wants to come visit...

 

Stupid Minnesota and their state law that you can't start public school until after Labor Day.

 

so they have athletic sporting events before school starts in minnesota? that just sounds weird.

BIG. Schaef really likes our chances here as well.

Too tall, pass. Said the same about Nate Solder, I’m probably an idiot.

Not much to discuss, his height is more of a benefit for the OT position than a disadvantage.

 

Last year's two All-American OT's were both 6'7 or taller. 

 

In fact there hasn't been a 1st team All American OT shorter than 6'6 the last three years. 

 

 

Edit: I'd also bet he's much closer to 6'7 as 247 indicates than 6'9 like Rivals does.

Time to get a door frame involved...or maybe a ladder.

I'm not worried about a few inches too tall or too short.  Give me an athletic dude with heart and desire to excel.  Success will take care of itself.

A real coach on the field?  Brings his lunch pail to work everyday?  Wears his hard hat?

The scheduling for school to start in MN is based around the State Fair and how whiny the resorts are up here. I am a teacher and coach...I wish we started before Labor Day. If you start before Labor Day, you have to get a waiver...construction or something like that. It is really crappy how much control the State Fair and the resorts have on the school start time!

 

And I coach against Bryce's team. He is the real deal. I feel he is better than the #1 ranked kid in the state at Edina that committed to Notre Shame. The word on the street he is leaning to Sconny....hope his visit changes his mind!!!!

Huge visits this weekend. Confident the boys on the field will do their part and us fans need to do ours.

Not that it overly matters but would you estimate him at 6'7 or 6'9, there is some discrepancy between recruiting services.

I heard he might be 6'8 - give or take an inch
