I think everyone was wanting to hear glowing comments and the quotes and overall story didn’t really give away anything.

His quotes to Loy were more in line with your expectation

Think reading into it is a nothing burger

"It was pretty good. I definitely had a good time."

Not sure how one gets a negative out of that.

Recruiting going too well, people need something to be negative about lol

 

[DCK_1981]

I think people were hoping for more glowing comments than “pretty good”. I still think we get him but I get why people were hoping for more.

I think he ends up playing inside for us that’s my prediction if he comes here 6’4 he will end up 310-315 lbs

You think or that's what you've been told by recruiting reporters? They all say long-term, the staff views Golden inside.

I'd be surprised if he ever pushes past 300-305. His frame is similar to Jayson Ademilola, who I don't think ever played above 290 or 295.

He's already a large dude, 265-270Ibs, thick in the upper and lower body. There is a certain point where too much weight, is not good weight.

 

[BobbyMac]

You're both wrong.. He will weigh 307.5 lbs.

Always listen to BMac

This is the one area that Koon is missed. Nobody could break down the bodies of teenage boys like he could. Had a real gift.

Experience is our greatest teacher.

 

[Fbolt]

He could break them down like a Priest

I think Jayson is a pretty good comp, but a bigger version of Jayson.

Jayson was just under 6'3 and capped at about 285. Golden is a bit taller at 6'4 and will probably be 285-290 by the time fall camp opens up in 2026.

Think he'll announce this week or next. Or at least announce a commitment date.

 

[KPENN]

Announcing July 26th

 

[NDFAN2008]

Having our class wrapped up by end of July is crazy

Your thoughts on possibly moving him to return
Kicks?

Do not ever question our resident DL expert

2008’s ability to give his opinion on stats and positions while completely disregarding grammar and the comments directed at him is quite impressive

On his Twitter he’s been recruiting guys it seems like he’s already given it away that he’s committed. Wonder why his announcement is so far out. Maybe the date has significance to him.

I think you’re referring to Mcgaskin’s Twitter

 

[KyfightingIrish36]

You’re correct. Thought it was golden’s
