Height/weight seem more like a DE than a DT. Speed, too.

6'3 and 265 and he is a junior in high school... Really?

Don't you think he'll easily add 20 to 30 pounds between now and the next 5 years?

You'd be right IF he was going into the NFL draft.

FYI... Suh weighed 278 coming out of high school... http://rivals.yahoo.com/colorado/fo...g-Suh-28552;_ylt=ApUcswkcgbD8XklFTk..Zsq9rZB4

yes. I think that's entirely likely. Just basing it off of what I'm seeing right now.

I debated where to put him.

2 of the services have him at DT, 2 at DE. And he lines up both inside and outside on his film.

I chose DT because I'd compare him more with Pericak on our roster than I would Chidera.

Just as a rule of thumb, doesn't apply in all cases. There are a lot more guys who can physically handle DE than DT. If in doubt if they can do both most often they end up inside.

Keep an eye on this recruitment. Oklahoma and West Virginia recently offered.

Seems pretty open now and will take visits. We are on the outside looking in right now, but that could change if we make a push IMO, especially since we have also offered his teammate Will Earley. Apparently they are pretty close.

Be huge if we could turn him. Help us and take away from the Devils.

Should try to get Mixon and Earley to come up for the ASU game. Take our shot. Or at least Earley and see if he can get in Mixon's ear for an after-season visit.

Flipped to Nebraska over the weekend.
