Performance: One of the biggest surprises of the day was Eichenberg's performance in one-on-ones. He held up to bull-rushes and anchored well using his strong base. Eichenberg has very long arms and moved laterally well. He beat five-star Marlon Davidson on back-to-back reps in one-on-ones. - See more at: https://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1840742#sthash.YA1fGFzD.dpufer

But Rivals spent two years ensuring us that they had evaluated him multiple times and he was just not that level prospect...

Kramer is a guard, maybe a RT. Eichenberg is a left tackle.

I agree, but, IMO, this is an embarrassment of riches argument.

We are now cycling through first round NFL draft picks, so can talk about kids at their ultimate NFL positions. Sure, McGlinchey is an RT when Stanley is on the field, but he is a good LT for most programs. Quentin Nelson is a OG on our line, but he could play OT at most schools.

I think Kramer could be a very good tackle, but he'll make an excellent OG if it comes to that.

Maybe not the right spot for this but I feel like we don't talk nearly enough about how good Mike McGlinchey is. He'll be a first-rounder next year and I won't be surprised if he ends up as the best pro prospect among the trio of himself, Stanley, and Z. Martin.

We talk a lot about how good Mike McGlinchey is in the Mike McGlinchey thread.

We're quickly losing our claim to the "Tight End U" status with the way we under utilize that position compared to the past, but we will probably be able to call ourselves "OL U" once Stanley is drafted. So many great prospects are going to follow him, not to mention ZMart before him, it's going to be silly.

I think Kelly has been looking for another premier TE and he's finally found what he wants in successive years. They are still developing but I expect TEs to be utilized much more next year.

Awesome to hear, HH knows what he wants and can identify talent with the best of 'em.

Again, HH is at worst, the 2nd most important coach on our team. The OL paves the way for everything.

I thought Eichenberg and Greg Little look the best of the OL.

I certainly thought they both looked better than Ben Bredeson, but I ain't puttin' that in his thread!

Actually, I liked Liam's length and how he uses it better than anything about Little. If I had to pick between 'em, I believe I would take Liam over Greg. I would have thought Little was much stronger than Eichenberg, but it sho' dint appear so in that limited tape.

From all the positive vibe that seems to be coming from the bowl practices it would be an absolute crime to at the very least not give him his 4th start on rivals

Rivals assessment of the OL during Under Armour practice is Little being by far the best with Eichenberg and Bredeson battling for the number 2 slot. Regardless, it appears that Eichenberg has opened some eyes with the Rivals staff and I'm assuming that they will give him a big jump in rankings.

Like Gary, Gregory Little is different than the rest here at Under Armour. He’s the best offensive tackle on the field by far. There is Little and then there is everybody else. On his team, you could make a case for Michigan commit Ben Bredeson to be No. 2 or maybe it’s Liam Eichenberg, the Notre Dame commitment. On Team Armour, there hasn’t been a consistently good tackle at all.

Andre Anthony is an extremely quick DE which Eichenberg appears to have handled well. Extremely excited that Eichenberg is strong enough and quick enough to handle everyone including some admiral reps against Gary.

A lot harder for the o linemen to adjust to the speed than it is for the d line as well which is a testament to how well he's adjusted

Had an "up and down day" according to rivals

Said to have looked good during team drills but not as good during his 1 on 1's

Get well big guy. Notre Dame won't need your starting services in 2016, take the red shirt year to get to 100%, get stronger and learn the offense.
