OT Xander Ruggeroli Will OV 8 December

[Red Reign]

Talk we could add one more OL.

ESPN has him as a 4*

From Vegas powerhouse Bishop Gorman HS

Former Huskers Nick Gates and Dave Humm come to mind as alum of the school

Would open the door again to boot

I think if the visit happens he is N

With Brix N they may decide we are full

 

[Red Reign]

From late October

 

[FCHusker]

We absolutely make room for this kid! He has been very thorough in his recruiting process. Bishop Gorman pipeline in the works.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

another 6'-8" tackle.....

 

[Power of Corn]

The taller they are, the harder it becomes for mobility. Not all, but most.

Our starters in the 90s never had anyone over 6-4 or 6-5, at most. 4 inch longer reach means nothing if you cant move your feet

 

[NorthwoodHusker]

Bishop Gorman any good at BB?

 

[Boji Husker]

another 6'-8" tackle.....

Yup. And only 265 at that height

And hardly any of them continued to play tackle in the more pass reliant NFL.
I’d be full go on the Aaron Taylor’s of the world filling or roster but we both know those days are over.

And Bryce is honorable mention all Big!

Maybe a novel idea is to not start and lean on them to be the savior as freshmen… but that’s just a thought

Or he comes back and make first or second team!
Don't think if Brix can help the team he won't play. And if folks, not you, are wondering where all this talent came from, it was already here.

Xander, if he gets in, same story. Even having guys like Grant or Xander on special teams ups our special teams play, develops them etc.

These recruits are starting to see this, its going to get harder to get on this team going forwards imo

 

[Red Reign]

Visit is still on for 8 December

I've been saying that for years. Get me someone who is mean, nasty and can play. The matrix works better for the NFL as those players fitting the matrix have played more football. Evaluating HS players is much tougher, their times in camps and pass blocking without pads is different than the real thing.

Great name!

We also were a great team in the 1940 Rose bowl and one of our lineman weighed 145 pounds. I know this because I knew him when he became NU regent. I don't think we should build a team in this age based on what we used to build those terrific teams 25 years ago. They were the best for their time. Now we move on. I trust the coaches know what they need as they recruit and if its 6 - 8, sobeit.

John Dutton did just fine on the D line at 6'7"
