'12 PA OT J.J. Denman (Rutgers Verbal)

[Bogtrotter07]

I could also see him kicking inside in a pinch if need be this year.

That's what I was thinking. Looking at the Kelly scheme he likes his tackles that long (6'7"+) which screams Nichols. Lombard is more the height and weight of guards or centers as of late, except Chris Stewart, (nobody is that big!)

The guards and centers are really important to this offense in picking up blocking assignments on the fly. A lot of what people have ascribed to bad technique has actually been brain freeze in this offensive scheme of Kelly's.

Also, I think ND needs more shoring up inside. Finally, I watched Nichols bury a few people when he played.

And really, this is the last, Lombard can play on the left side as well as the right. All I saw Nichols play was left side.

Switched his verbal from Penn State to Wisconsin.

PSU's in state recruiting. #stay hot

Really wish we had taken Destefano or Denman and called it a day with OL recruiting. Really not thinking we get any of Banner, Garnett, Stanley, Peat, etc.

 

[BeauBenken]

I almost feel bad for Penn State at this point.

Disagree on Banner and Stanley

 

[Buster Bluth]

I give that a 1% chance.

He's Ohio State's to lose.

Texas's to lose.

You really think Mack Brown is going anywhere in the next 2 or 3 years?

Urban fits the culture in Columbus better than PSU or Texas...
Tressel 2.0



I get great joy seeing guys decommit from PSU...I live a little over half an hour away from main campus...and man do I hate their fanbase.

I believe Urban will go to Texas, USC, or Ohio State. I dont see him leaving for any other jobs. I think he will end up at Texas within the next couple years maybe this year.

 

[irishff1014]

I think Ohio State throws a boat load of money at him. He proved he can win and get big time Recruits. OSU QB went like 1-5 passing this weekend. Ouch

He may not have a choice.

 

[RyCo1983]

He may not have a choice.

I don't see him getting canned this year, MAYBE if he goes sub .500 again...which I don't see happening.


Anywho, back to Denman!
He'll fit in nicely up there in Madison.
