'08 IN OL Braxston Cave (Signed LOI to ND)

[GoshenGipper]

Penn beat Mishawaka 28-0, and Goshen beat SB Adams 35-21, so Penn will host Goshen next Friday night at 7pm for the 5A Sectional 2 Championship. Chances are it'll be the Channel 46 game of the week for all the locals out there, and anyone that'll be in town for the Navy game.

From the highlights that I saw Braxton had several huge blocks that opened up large holes for the Kingsmen running backs. Given the size on Goshen's team, or lack there of, I expect him to have another big game next week.

 

[GoshenGipper]

Penn leads Goshen 7-3 at halftime. Go Skins!

Nevermind, they're showing Northwood vs. SB St. Joe tonight/tomorrow morning.

 

[GoshenGipper]

Penn recovered a fumble deep in Goshen territory and then followed with another TD to increase the lead to 13-3 at the end of 3.

 

[GoshenGipper]

Penn won the Sectional Championship 13-3, so they will be moving onto the Regional Championship.

 

[GoshenGipper]

Penn lost to Merriville tonight 21-20 in the regional championship so Braxton's season is now over. Braxton also play left guard tonight.

Here is a pretty good article on Cave from Espn

ESPN - Under Armour All-America profile: Braxston Cave - Insider

 

[johnnd05]

Braxston has a really cool essay on the recruiting process in today's SB Tribune: South Bend Tribune: ND recruit Cave told what he needed to hear.

 

[johnnd05]

Braxston just lost out on the Indiana Mr. Football Position Award for offensive linemen: nwi.com :: C.P.'s Wermers named Indiana's top offensive lineman (the same award that Goodman won at DB).

 

[GoIrish41]

Isn't Cave rooming with Omar at their all star game? If so, he needs to pull out all the stops to get him to tell Urbie to go f#@* himself.

 

[Epitome]

People are starting to notice him as maybe the best player up front for the silver team. He is also the strongest O lineman on his team. I hope he shows well against Omar.

caveman baby, get the student section wearing green caveman attire.

I'm with you. I hope he crushes him at this point.

 

[goldandblue]

Yeah but it won't look good for the home team if O.H. is beating B.C. into the backfield all day!

 

[Polish Leppy 22]

Go get em Caveman!!! I don't care if he is your roommate or not! Omar turned his back on you, the rest of this class, and everyone at ND.

If I were down in Orlando I would tape clippings to Omar's door every day of what Urban said about his players after the game yesterday. Then I would tape a picture of Trattou getting dominated. Then I would post Florida's DL depth chart.

"What're we waitin fer?!?!"

"I tink we oughtta knock his block off"

[GoshenGipper]

It doesn't matter now anyway. From what I heard the staff pulled his scholarship because they were tired of him trying to play games with him and that's what finally forced Omar to publically decommit when he did.

 

[Akron Irish]

He looked BIG. I think he could challenge the starting center vacancy for next yr.

 

[GoshenGipper]

I think Wenger will lock it down, but I certainly think Braxton will be there to push him and get in the rotation at OG/C.

 

[NeoDymium]

The Caveman alpha'd the hunter.

 

[Golden_Domer88]

Yeah hes really going to push the guys at ND already for the spot.

 

[BDIrish4ever]

Braxton played a very good game (I have only studied the first half so far). He is a lot stronger than I expected, even the Mighty Omar could not establish any kind of push when facing Cave. He is definitely will push Wenger early.

 

[Axl Rose]

I loved watching Cave play today, he stuffed Hunter all day. Hes just so big and strong, I want to see him at guard.

 

[crazyman33]

Move him to guard and in 4 years our inside will be Cave, Golic, and T-Rob, all just eating people aliveeee

 

[nthurman]

Does anyone know when that pancake block happened against hunter. I taped the game but did not notice that block.

 

[Epitome]

I believe the 8 min mark of the second quarter

 

[nthurman]

thank you
