6'7" 330 mammoth OT.

3 star w/ a terrible offer list.

From the Master List thread:

Anna posted Branden Bowen, Utah commit, was offered today by ND. Precautionary offer for Tillery or what? I know the Tillery deal has been beat to death but the offer seems odd.

 

[ResLife Hero]

I still don't get not offering Petitbon...

6'7" 330 mammoth OT.

3 star w/ a terrible offer list.

Kelly's staff will turn him into an NFL player. Develops players with the best in the country.

Martin, future NFL Rookie top three at least of the Year, can attest to that.

I've always assumed that you put the best tackle on the blindside, but this guy doesn't even play that position. Is that a sign that he isn't the best tackle in his coach's eyes?

 

[BeauBenken]

Might be the staff saying, "Get away from ESB."

 

[NDdomer2]

Might be the staff saying, "Get away from ESB."

I had this initial thought also. Just flexing our muscle.

 

[GoldenDomer]

I still don't get not offering Petitbon...

Did you have to say that... GODDAMNIT.

 

[Domina Nostra]

My thought is that Elmer is not a tackle, so we are one behind at that position, especially if LSU flips Tillery.

Did any of the services ever elaborate on this offer? Seemed to come out of the blue given our scholarship numbers.

I love these guys with verbal commits talking about making their decision in the near future.

I guess verbal commits really are worth the paper they are printed on.

Opened up his recruitment, gave OSU visit a 101 out of 100

Bowen Blown Away by Ohio State

Bowen is opening it up

multiple national championships in the coming years due to weak schedule and the best coach in college football.
