Recruits at the game
Posted: Sun Nov 07, 2004 12:43 pmI heard that there were some pretty high powered recruits at the game yesterday. Anyone have any more detailed info on how many and who they were?
I took a stroll through the section where the recruits sat. I counted somewhere between 30 and 35 (depending on how many were at the concessions stand when I walked through.) Saw a couple of absolutely MASSIVE guys in there. Didn't see their last names , but I think the first names on their nametags were Bryant/Bennett/Barrett (maybe Pleasanton OL Barrett McGraw -- 6-3, 325, 5.5?) and Casey (maybe Mansfield Summit OL/DL Casey Brunson -- 6-7, 300, 5.5?) If that's who those beasts were, sign them BOTH. NOW. Add those to Mitch Enright, David Allison and Josh Hickman and suddenly you have the makings of a major size influx for the line. We'll graduate Eric Neal from the line, and that's it. I still say we need 6-8 offensive linemen. We've been remarkably healthy on the OL this year, but we can't count on that -- the nature of playing on the line dictates that someone's going to get hurt.
I saw three guys wearing Denton Ryan gear, but I don't know who they were. I assume one of them was QB Justin Willis. I know we were recruiting DB Ishie Odugwu (spelling?), but didn't he already commit someplace? There was someone about the size of a DB, but I don't know who it was. And the third guy was a little bigger -- maybe TE or LB size. He looked like he's about 6-2 or 6-3 .... very lean -- needs strength, regardless of position (unless he's a punter, I suppose). Looks athletic, but of course, I've never seen him play. No idea who he was. Any insights on Denton Ryan recruits?
