Kid's a beast and looks like he's a decent wrestler too. Defensive lineman with wrestling backgrounds are always good.

blueNDgold44 · Jun 19, 2014

Plays in my High School's conference, therefore WANT

So are offensive linemen.

Told Wiltfong he fell in love with the campus and the visit was great. Enjoyed talking to BK and Elliott.

Kid is wearing a jacket in June he won't survive the winters in DB, transitioning from Illinois to Indiana is to great.

Not a take.

Anzalone?

Chi_IRISH · Jun 20, 2014

Stud wrestler as well. Had a good shot a winning the state title this year, but didn't wrestle all that well at the state tourney.. There was an article the chicago suntimes wrote on him this past winter. This would be a nice get!

Hinsdale South's Josh King no surprise on mat this year | High School Cube News

koonja · Jun 20, 2014

Yeah, the amount of superlatives this guy used to describe the visit really makes me think ND has a great shot.

But I think this might have been his first unofficial anywhere, so TIFWIW. ND set the bar really high and all of the coaches seemed to spend time with him.

Does BK have short hair in this pic, thus meaning he removed his comb-over??

rtrn2glory · Jun 20, 2014

Love the offer hopefully first impression will be in the kids head for awhile.

Irish#1 · Jun 20, 2014

Kid is huge for sure. This may be his first visit, but it sure sounds like he "gets it". Let's see if anyone else can get close to that bar.

DE or DT in a 4-3?

I've only watched his soph film and he looks long and lean. I would say it depends on his physical development the next couple years. Love the height on the edge but he is powerful and could play in the middle. Take either way and sort out the details later.
