Rockne's Roundtable

He may not be the #39 ranked player in the country on their board. They may have missed an opportunity with him though. But I think you are right that it's likely about versatility for the 5th OL prospect they would take.

Someone we need to recruit but I've heard nothing about so far is Christian Lacouture, DL out of Texas.

He has some great film, is a perfect fit for the 3-4, and isn't a lock to stay in Texas or the south, although he appears to be favoring LSU at the moment. He is visiting Michigan this weekend for their spring game.

Johnson was vastly underrated before the recent jump. He might be a tad high now, but the kid is one of the top 5 OL in the country. Montelus is also underrated and I believe his offer list proves that. He is also very young for his class, so there is a lot of room for growth.

This kid is good! I'd be glad if he commits at the B&G game.

Everyone look at the Ryan Green article on FSU site. Those guys are clowns and still aren't over the fact we got Lynch. Really paying close attention to his visit this weekend. A little worried he might jump on board, if he doesn't I'll fill a lot better about our current standing. He was at UF last weekend and FSU this weekend.

If he commits to the FSU criminals I'd be shocked. I think he'll enjoy the visit and weigh all his options with his parents when he gets back home.

Oh cripes.. I was really hopeful we could steal him under the radar. I'm worried about what U$C is putting together; Max Browne is a stud, but you add in a Michael Hutchings and a potential secondary including Sua Cravens, Priest Willis, and Chris Hawkins and BK's job gets a lot harder.

USC is setting itself up for a monster class.

BAMA offered Heureman today. Looks like they really want after telling him to visit in order to get offer. Probably a little too late.

I know.. That's why I said we can't rely on those 4-5 offers.. We aren't in a good position with many of the others and need to throw out more LB offers.

Kimbrough not getting an offer is a shame..

-This is a kid I like a lot and someone I believe could fit that rush OLB position for us. He shows good pursuit, good speed for his size, and a good motor. He has ideal size to fit into our 3-4 system and as a NY kid, would give us a great fit opposite our other Brooklyn LB (Ishaq.) -- See Video
