Size doesn't have to do with all of it. His brother plays Division I ball at Montana. I think it shows more that Brent is an athlete, and we may have found something big under that rock up in ND that very few others knew about. I believe that Milt Tenopir loved recruiting line men with strong basketball ties and backgrounds, because they had excellent foot work and that made teaching his technique that much easier.
Actually, size is everything in that size of school. I made that statement with an assumption he was a pretty athletic guy. I'm not bashing the guy, I just grew up in an area like that and at 6'3" and a PG the height made it easy for me. The good knews he isn't suffering from Big Fish Small Pond syndrome. A lot of college athlethes like myself and Brent tend to get overwhelmed when the competition level grows that much from what we are used to in the small schools. I suffered from it, he isn't so far. That's a very good thing.
At this point, if he is good enough to crack the 2-Deep at Guard then let him play guard this year. Doesn't mean that next season he doesn't move over to Tackle. Isn't Tackle more about arm length though, anyone know if Qvale has the length they like at Tackle?
I ran into him the other day and would agree he is about 6' 6" - maybe 6' 7". He's a nice kid, or seemed like it anyway.
read about it on the LJS website, also has been replaced on the 105 man roster with unspecified injury...
