2023 3* Northwestern OL Transfer Dylan Senda Commits To AU!

[mustache eagle 2,406]

Impressive offer list both out of high school and portal.  I’m assuming he did weights and conditioning with northwestern this spring?  If so he’ll have a head start when fall practice hits.

Man, Freeze, he is relentless. Lose one recruit, find another.  I've always maintained that when you find the right coach, the impact is immediate. Either recruiting or impact on record, hopefully both.  This reminds me of when Mack Brown was hired by Texas. Only better.  I don't think I've ever seen anything like it.  

SIAP or if I missed something but what recruit did we lose?

Nevermind. I guess you are referring to J Riggs.

You have to be a smart kid to get into Northwestern. He’s got brains . Hope he has horsepower. Glad we got him 

Or play football.

Honestly a better pickup than a 3* 2024 OL. I like this addition a lot. Great size and plenty of eligibility.

Could refer to any number of OL we missed on in this class.

Sorey? Because he has to go JUCO? 🤷‍♀️

Yea just wasn't sure due to wording he used...."lost one recrtuit.." We didn't really lose the ones that never were committed so it is confusing. Maybe he was referring to Sorey as someone else said.

Well guys, seems we are playing chess now. Great pickup here. Glad to see we seem to have a plan in place for once.

Tough crowd.  Just meant we've lost some OL targets, but the end of the day, I have a lot of confidence we'll still wind up with good guys.  That's true for Freeze across the board.  He's just an awesome recruiter and he enjoys it.  It's clear kids want to play for him. The momentum he's building is unreal.

Finally. This is what we freaking need. Linemen!!

What it's racist to want good offensive linemen?

Hellsbells,  AU has only had three offensive linemen drafted since 2018 when Smith was drafted.  I had forgotten the other two until I looked it up.    Jack Driscoll and Prince Tega Wanogho just didn't come to mind.

The OL drought started long before Bryan Harsin showed up.  

[Tigger1985 808]

Harsin just continued it two years longer.

Meanwhile Northwestern has had two offensive lineman, drafted in the first round, in the last three years.

A bit disappointing. It's a good thing we have free agency, I mean the portal.

From the recruiting websites it looks like he counts back to the 2023 transfer class.

Yeah DL and OL haven't been super positive so far. I think DL has a chance to finish strong.
