'16 FL OL Parker Boudreaux (Notre Dame Signed NLI)

You have probably already heard it 10X, but his official Opening height was 6'4.5". So go ahead, sprout a little surprise!

No, thats not his official Opening height. He or someone changed the height. I dont care about his height personally, because he isn't short. It's not like he is 5'10.

I've thought about this too. He definitely could, but I think he'll stick to the offensive line.

 

[GoldenToTheGrave]

Prediction: Boudreaux becomes a nasty interior mauler that no one wants to line up against and gets drafted easily. Kraemer becomes a moving eraser tackle who gets drafted in the first round. They join Hoge to create the most feared OLine in college football three years from now. Things are looking good in the Big Ugly trenches. Be happy.

I agree with all of this, and you left out Eichenberg, who has the highest ceiling IMO. I wasn't as high on Kraemer based off his sophomore tape (not that it was bad, just didn't think he had the lateral agility), but he's absolutely killed it at the camps.

Hoge might be the most athletic high school interior lineman I've ever seen in space.

I apologize to young Mr. Eichenberg --- I actually DID remember him but forgot his name [75-year-old neurons] and was too lazy to start all over after looking it up.

Check back to # 562 and before. Here is part of the quote from Keith Arnold. I called someone to confirm it .

At 6’4.5″ and 289 pounds, Boudreaux also silenced the questions about his size and length. And his quickness—his 20-yard shuttle time was the best of any lineman in Oregon and would’ve been the best last year as well—gives Harry Hiestand a nice piece of clay to mold moving forward.

Everything in bold is confirmed. People criticized him because of his height and his feet. What else could they say? Lemming also stated that he called Parker the best O-lineman in Fla., and now considers from his Opening performance that he may have underrated him.

What I have heard is that his original card got wet and blurred, so the first rumor was that he scratched out the 6'4" originally and put 6'5". But that was confusion and obfuscation. The Opening recorded his official height as 6'4.5".

That actually wasn't that bad. Stupid, sure, and I could do away with the long stare into (nothing) in the distance, but it wasn't too long and didnt try to build some fake suspense or drama.

However...dude, you're a KICKER!!!!!!!!!!!

"Gave him the business afterward"?

 

[IrishLax]

It's funny how obvious the smear campaign against him is/was now. Lots of sour grapes by people he rubbed the wrong way... people questioning his ability/upside look like fools now. Who knows how he'll turn out but all that BS seems to be strictly related to some industry "experts" not liking his personality.

In what way is his personality not exactly what you want from an OL?

EDIT: Looking for the right video

 

[Henges24]

Can we get some videos in this joint? Pictures and tweets just aren't enough.

I'm really excited for this kid. Or maybe I'm just excited because it's Friday. Or maybe both...

Edit: Haha nice ^^

EditEdit: So Parker got into it twice with someone?

Where's the vid for Parker vs Rashan?

I think I just posted it above, hard to read names\

EDIT: that isn't Gary and Boudreaux

Yea. Sorry. I was making my post at the same time. Didn't see it until after the fact.

Good for Parker.

PS. I hope ND finds a way to impress Rashan on his OV and land that kid. Wouldn't that be somethin' special!

[GBdomer]

GB, a chara,

I have complemented you on your amazing personal growth before, and I am sure I will do it again. (Please accept my compliment in the humblest of terms.)

This is a milestone that needs to be noted! Only an intelligent, mature, well-rounded, knowledgeable poster interested in an objective discussion would be banned by Steve Lorenz on Twitter! I am as proud of you as I am sure your parents and family must be!

What a day to celebrate how far you have come since those days in Paris!

Humbly, and admirably yours, as always!

Beir bua agus beannacht,

Bogtrotter, esq.

How sarcastic are you being with this post? I don't understand it one bit

 

[BleedBlueGold]

Is he actually visiting?

I don't think anything has been set. I've just heard/read that he wants to. I know...big difference.

Edit: A quick glance at his thread and it says there's plans to get to ND in July. Sorry, back to Parker's thread.
