2017 Recruiting Thread

[ktuck911]

This guy is a man among boys. A freakin human bulldozer. Sign him up!

kid looks like a potential day 1 starter... at least he looks that way.. We are clearly recruiting a little better this time around.. Hopefully this kid becomes one of the gems of the 2017 class.

From the video I still have one question that went unanswered. It's a biggie....care to venture a guess?

the biggest thing I see about his highlight is that he's twice as big as everybody he went up against.

I remember years ago, my little cousin, who's about the same height but a little heavier than me ( he was 5'7 200lbs approx.) played NG for Brien McMahon HS. He went up against Greenwich HS all everything OL, now Minnesota Viking vet John Sullivan... He used to tell me how big Sullivan was over him, but also how technique can keep you in the play regardless of size..

this brings me back to Ted Field.. He makes me think about what my cousin told me, BUT, Field appears to be a little stronger than Sullivan might've been at that time.. He's squashing every dude he goes up against in the highlight tape..

Is that because he's so much bigger and he's strong as an Ox than his opponents, or the opponents just aren't that good? or both? (Probably both)

I'm thinking that seeing that every highlight was from a running play, his run oriented offense might not prepare him for college pass blocking.

Who is this?

Darian Street. Final three is us, Pitt, and Kent State. I'd say its between us and Pitt with Pitt having the advantage.

Is this Devin Street's brother? If so, that makes a lot of sense.

 

[Buffett10]

Yeah it's devin's little brother

 

[ktuck911]

Hopefully we surprise and Darian ends up in Storrs... I'm sure our new WR coach has got him overly intrigued about us... with that history of producing NFL caliber WRs over the years... Remember, Pitt's coaching staff is nothing like the one his brother was a part of.. I like our chances a lot with him...

Darian's a solid prospect. He desperately wanted a PSU Offer, but one was not coming. Word out of the area is it will be Pitt. Personally I hope you guys get him, as I hate seeing any kid throw away 4 years playing for 40,000 empty yellow seats.

I missed Pitt bashing. Thank you for that.

This should be easy, we named our football complex after him.

Darian Street has moved his decision date up to today after taking a visit to UConn. A glimmer of hope, perhaps?
