He's the #3 OT in the class and the #5 player overall in the ESPN 300. Yes that's odd, but it's true. 3 of the top 5 in the ESPN300 are OT's. Just wondering why in the world we haven't even offered this guy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 Now that we have missed on Putnam, we've got to have some more OLs..... I just don't get why we haven't offered a premier uncommitted OT from east of the Mississippi river. Why in the world would you not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cctiger 571 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 With Malzhan being an supposed O guru and running a Hybrid wing-T O, what's the dad-gum problem with him not recruiting a abundance of good O-linemen? He doesn't even TRY to go after them.... Even a decent high school coach that runs that O knows that it starts mainly with the O-LINE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigger1985 809 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Cause we're stupid I guess. Should be calling everybody and sending letters like Bama does. Who the Sam Hill do we have in charge of recruiting needs to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

im4au 44 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 When the solution seems obvious we probably don't understand the problem. Character issues, grades, bad coaches' recommendations, who knows what the problem may be? I have no inside knowledge of why someone so highly qualified hasn't been offered, but I'll bet there's a reason we don't know about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving me crazy when people talk about things they have no clue about! I never suspected Malzahn wasn’t recruiting hard, just was odd to me why such a highly ranked recruit at a position of need wasn’t being pursued. Sure would like to see some of those uncommitted 4* tackles emerge as AU leans all the sudden... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering why in the world we haven't even offered this guy... 1. It's not a geographic area we recruit often 2. Offering at this point for such a highly touted recruit would be a useless gesture anyway. I'm sure he's locked in with a few schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't get why we haven't offered a premier uncommitted OT from east of the Mississippi river. Why in the world would you not? Because this late in the cycle it's pointless to try to offer & try to start a relationship out of nowhere. I agree he should have been offered a long time ago. Putnam wouldn't factor in regardless. He was a Guard target for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
