'14 KS OL Braden Smith (Auburn Signee)

[Ironman8]

I feel like I am going to get my hopes way too high on this one.

Haha same. Although Christian at ISD thinks we will be in it till the end, FWIW.

I look at Smith and 1st thing I think of is Ivan Drago's "I must break you," movie line.

Now why did you have to say that? He was already on the "DO WANT" list.

 

[Buster Bluth]

I feel like he's the only person on the planet who could ask Diaco if "he even lifts, bro."

 

[Ironman8]

Apparently maxed out at 495

Yikes

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

Ironman is in love. Look out.

I think that beats Tuitt's max

 

[Ironman8]

I think that is a fair statement lol.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

Is he human?

 

[Rack Em]

Smith lost both of those reps, didn't he?

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Smith lost both of those reps, didn't he?

Haha yep. Smoked on that second one.

 

[Buster Bluth]

Smith lost both of those reps, didn't he?

I think so.

2/10. Would not offer.

Just amused by the irony. We're all drooling over this freakish OT prospect, and then Ironman8 posts a 58s video of him getting smoked on back-to-back reps.

Now why did you have to say that? He was already on the "DO WANT" list.

Via the Internet:

Dolph Lundgren 6'5 242
Braden Smith 6'6 285

 

[Luckylucci]

Those were two pretty pour reps. However you can teach the technique that he needs to get better but you can't teach that size. My goodness that kid has the build of a first round prospect at 17.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Who is the dude giving the instruction? He have any eligibility left? Beast.

 

[BeauBenken]

The kid can still add some more good weight. And has a lot to learn still.

Has to learn to get his hands on him faster and to not turn his base like that. He's opening up like a revolving door.

Offense loses about 85% of the time in that drill.

 

[rtrn2glory]

yep, i'm with an ironman.

as an O line guy...by far my biggest want for 2014.

In all fairness, has anyone EVER seen the 1 on 1 pass rush drill video where the OLineman "wins"?

No worries. I was picking up what you were throwin' down.

 

[Ironman8]

Yeah I mean the things he is deficient in now (technique, footwork) can easily be coached up. The things that he is not deficient in, the things I am drooling over, simply can not be taught.

Elmer apparently had 3 yesterday against Prevot (twice) and A. Robinson. Pretty impressive.

LOL, video or it didn't happen

 

[Ironman8]

Haha I am with you though, that drill is extremely tough for the OL to win, especially when you are a monstrous 17 year old that hasn't been coached up on technique and have spent most of your life pancaking dudes run blocking and bench pressing mack trucks.
