He's actually from Kimball.
Not sure on this. Maybe it's just because he always looked awkward to me but I watched him play several times in high school and I didn't think he was B1G material. Not that he doesn't have talent, I just wasn't convinced it would translate well. Different kind of player but I thought the same about Wes Eikmeier a few years ago - great high school player and solid lower-division college player but just doesn't quite fit in a Power 5 conference.
My mistake on the town. I heard he was a lot bigger weight wise and the redshirt helped him out. Sure looked good in the game I watched but a ton of things can change from your senior year to two years in college
The bolded part says most of it.
Fact is, from time to time a kid from out here is going to be overlooked. Especially when he may have been a little undersized coming out of HS.
Sounds like a kid whose body didn't fully mature till into his Freshman year in college.
I can relate to that.
So you are saying he was undersized coming out of high school but fully matured by his Freshman year? How is that even possible, isn't that typically in the same calendar year? I supposed he could have waited a year before enrolling.
I don't know the kid at all. I'm just giving input from what I have read here.
Typically, I would say on average the end of a kid's freshman year in college is roughly 12 months after graduating from HS his senior year. That obviously is going to happen over time. I'm assuming by the time he was well into the BB season, he had been in the weight room with a nutrition program.
And, in those 12 months, my body matured quite a bit and I gained quite a bit of weight (not all from beer and pizza).
