To be completed.

Is this like the IE equivalent of saying "First!" in a comment section? Haha.

It does feel like we are making a push in California this cycle, although I haven't taken the time to get any empirical support for that. Maybe we are emboldened by the our finish to recruiting season out there and the perception that USC is sputtering a bit. .

Really high upside guard prospect. Absolutely massive and probably needs to CUT 10-15 once he gets to college.

Staff clearly looking to take at least two OG and one OT in this cycle with room for a fourth OL.

The reason most people make an OP skeleton for a profile and then come back to edit is the time it takes to make the post.

It takes like 10 minutes to fill out one of the profiles (why I never do it... except I have a snow day today and am bored) so if you start filling one out from scratch by the time you actually post it you usually end up with 2-3 duplicates and then you have to go delete/merge those. I've found it's much more efficient to make the OP, then go copy the body from an existing profile, and then edit the post to flesh it out.

I also once typed up a profile and got an error when I submitted the post and lost everything... so now I do it incrementally to avoid that BS. That was utterly infuriating.

Totally get it. Lame attempt at a joke, I guess, but I understood what you were doing and why. Still, I thought it looked kind of funny and that it warranted a smart aleck comment.

 

[STLDomer]

USC is childhood favorite

 

[IrishLax]

Snow day...you in high school?

DC area. Everyone around here is a bunch of pussies. We literally got 0" in Arlington but all of my job sites closed down for the day (typical for wind/rain... so can't fault them there) and my firm let everyone work from home today on office work in anticipation of the snow.

The Government shut down before there was any accumulation whatsoever. Ridiculous.

Dare you to call him a Mama's boy ... hell prob Respond favorably lol

Lol at the DC area.

I had to go into work the day the Noreaster Nimo hit here. lol

6'5 350.. that reminds me of Chris Stewart.

We are pushing hard in the LA area, i love it.

Must. Destroy. Troy.

Must. Destroy. Troy.

AGREE!! But we have to out-recruit UCLA for these too since they are on the upswing. Tough pulls but no more difficult than GA or FL kids.

Interesting note that he is cousins with Tyler Luatua

 

[STLDomer]

Per 247 wants to visit Utah, ND, Bama, and Ole Miss in the spring.

Cousins with Luatua (as GITF said) and close with Juju Smith.....

What a trifecta that would be

Amen to that.

 

[STLDomer]

Other notes from 247:

Mama intiated the real contact by messaging Denbrock on FB, before that ND was just sending mail

ND thinks can play OG or OT

Said Luatua and him don't talk about playing together but would like to OV together.

So as of now Luatua plans to OV to ND and both Mama and Smith said they would OV with Luatua. Nice.

Everyone always says how important Mama is in recruiting....

Nice.

Usually when you have a lineman this large, your biggest concerns are how well he moves in space.

Damien has the size of a sumo wrestler and still does a great job getting out to make his blocks on screens and reaching the second level. Not to mention he hits you like a mack truck.

Just my input from watching his film, but he has moved into my wish list for O-line this class.

I know someone mentioned how Alford was going to take over south Florida. Well, I think Denbrock might have the chance to take over Cali if he can reel in Tyler, Juju, and Damien among others.
