Just came out with a top 4 of LSU, Miami, Florida and yes Notre Dame. I would assume an official visit is in order. Gotta like that we're the only up north team he is considering so that might mean he really has to like ND right? Miami legacy, but I don't care theres always hope.

No USC! Nice. He's #1 on my O-Line wish list. Well, tied with Forst. I just think we could use a tackle rather that a guard (Page).

I'm still a little leery about the guard situation actually, seeing as three guys initially recruited to play at guard (Nuss, Nwankwo, Stewart) are currently slated to play defense. We've only got two true guards in Olsen and Carufel right now, so I personally think the bigger need is at guard. Maybe I have more faith in the Young, Webb, Romine, Dever, and hopefully Clelland in the future, but thats just me.

Still, Patchan would be a monumental get - a real difference maker at OL. He's got great footwork, and we know he's a tremendous athlete. Usually, its much better to be a smaller athlete, and work on size, than it is to be a bigger dude, and work on athleticism. I'm staying cautious about him, but he's definitely a better prospect than any other OLineman to receive an offer.

-------I think with all the D-lineman we're getting next year should move all those O-line turned D-line commits from the 07 class back to the Offensive side of the ball making it a deep position for once.

Plus, I thought Romine was a guard?
