Which one is better Patchan or Forst? I know we need a big Left Tackle this year.

Patchan has nearly 70 offers!enough said!

Offers mean one thing but whats most important is how good he is. I guess Patchan is the better of the two.

I would have to agree at this point. Out of the three remaining offered OL that ND has a realistic shot at, I would have to say that I favor Patchan and Page over Forst. Although I would be happy to pick up one or two more out of the three.

I would prefer Pocic to get an offer (that is my opinion.) I think Patchan is by far the biggest O-line recruit in terms of ability and upside. Page would obviously come next followed by Pocic. I have seen Forst play in person and I have to say he moves well for a big man, but does not know how to use his hands and basically bull rushes his way through D-Lineman. It works on 225 lineman in HS( Group 2: The 2nd lowest group in Central Jersey--There are 4---.) You can teach that, but I don't know but watching him I feel he's good but there are others I would put ahead of him. Great player either way these are just my opinions on observations.

Does anyone know what position ND is recruiting him at? I just assumed it would be at OT but i noticed his 40 time is listed at 4.6 and the LSU coaches told him they wanted to make him into the best DE they've ever had. At 6'7" 265lbs with that speed he would be a powerful rush end for us that could maybe even bump back to OLB. Also, we are at kind of a need at the OLB/DE hybrid so it would make sense if we are recruiting him there.

Too big of a frame to be a LB IMO. Not that it would be a regular pastime for him, but I can't imagine a 6'7" guy dropping into coverage with much success. His frame looks like a lineman's, not at all like a LB's.

He'd be a DE in the 3-4, pretty simple. They are recruiting him as an OT, but they have mentioned giving him a look at DL as well.
