This is BIG... no?
January 27th, 2021 at 1:16 PM ^
he was recruited by AL and he is one of the top 10 HS players in NJ, sounds big enough.....
January 27th, 2021 at 1:18 PM ^
Hint of sarcasm wasn't obvious. I'll work on that next time. :D
January 27th, 2021 at 1:28 PM ^
my bad..... rooks are often overlooked for bishops....
January 27th, 2021 at 1:18 PM ^
Yep, one of the better DL available at this stage
January 27th, 2021 at 1:11 PM ^
I'm hearing he's expected to switch to OL.
I'm not an insider, just an emotionally damaged individual.
January 27th, 2021 at 1:18 PM ^
Can't wait to see him in a Cincy uniform
January 27th, 2021 at 1:53 PM ^
You mean Wake Forest uniform, right?
January 27th, 2021 at 3:21 PM ^
I think EYB was hinting at James Hudson
January 27th, 2021 at 5:35 PM ^
There's still a player to be named in the Chaundee Brown transfer?
January 27th, 2021 at 1:18 PM ^
Actually though. He’s a 4-3 DT but in a 3-4 scheme he may be more of a DE. Either way he has a frame to add on a lot of weight and get up to 300+
January 27th, 2021 at 1:13 PM ^
Whaa??? We has nice things at DT???
WOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Thanks, George, and welcome to lockdow... er, Michigan football!!
January 27th, 2021 at 1:14 PM ^
HOLY SHIT YESSSSSS
January 27th, 2021 at 1:15 PM ^
Well that's exciting news. Welcome to the fold George!
January 27th, 2021 at 1:15 PM ^
Does this have to do with Queen's Gambit?
January 27th, 2021 at 1:15 PM ^
That'll do. Great pickup this late in the cycle
January 27th, 2021 at 1:15 PM ^
jaNUAry.
January 27th, 2021 at 1:16 PM ^
Yessssss! Let’s go! Checkmate!
January 27th, 2021 at 1:17 PM ^
This is a good get. Pursued by ND and PSU, among others. Stocky kid who can potentially play all over the line, including as a DT (but maybe a beefy DE if we got to a 3-4 under MacDonald)
January 27th, 2021 at 1:18 PM ^
Can he play... <checks notes>.. oh snap!
January 27th, 2021 at 1:20 PM ^
Now, let’s pull a cornerback out of that hat late in the cycle.
January 27th, 2021 at 1:20 PM ^
Awesome! I guess Rivals better update their East coast predictions from this morning. In the article, it says Penn State will add Rooks. Hilarious to now see Michigan verbal commit next to his name under that sub-section. Just goes to show how far Rivals has fallen
January 27th, 2021 at 2:15 PM ^
I’m convinced that all these recruiting sites have 10 or less employees. Even during what would be considered “down time” in their industry, it takes them days, if not weeks to make updates.
January 27th, 2021 at 1:22 PM ^
YES! So excited to add a big piece to our defense.
Welcome to the family. GO BLUE!!!
January 27th, 2021 at 1:25 PM ^
But can he play DT? :)
Big get - welcome George!
January 27th, 2021 at 1:33 PM ^
A...defensive tackle, you say?
BRB, gotta look that up on the Wikipedia.
January 27th, 2021 at 1:36 PM ^
Looks like we beat out BC and PSU for him. Great recruiting win. BC up n coming program.
January 27th, 2021 at 10:05 PM ^
Good point, BC is not an insignificant recruiting win. Halfrey can recruit above BC’s weight class and he’ll continue to develop their recruiting profile. Rooks should be a contributor in some capacity as an upper classman
January 27th, 2021 at 1:56 PM ^
Welcome George, way to GoBlue!
(who's talking shit Nua?)
January 27th, 2021 at 1:56 PM ^
Rooks to A2.
January 27th, 2021 at 2:02 PM ^
Can he suit up and play this fall?!
January 27th, 2021 at 2:15 PM ^
Umm, yes?
Not sure if serious.gif
8.5.7January 27th, 2021 at 2:11 PM ^
A happy day, a good day. Would really love to see things continue to turn around. Yes, please add a solid CB. This is what we've all been waiting for.
January 27th, 2021 at 3:03 PM ^
Linguist has been crop-dusting CB offers across Texas over the last few days. Mostly for 2022 though.
January 27th, 2021 at 2:12 PM ^
He seems like he's the perfect size to be a beefy 3-4 DE.
January 27th, 2021 at 2:36 PM ^
Cue the silly chess puns:
This will be a good knight to celebrate!
I hope Rooks makes his home in AA a castle.
I hope Rooks a key pawn in the MacDonald's Defense
I hope Rooks takes the Scarlet Knights to the cleaners (and every other team he plays)
January 27th, 2021 at 2:51 PM ^
I am a Drake at a Raptors game gif right now! Let's emphatically proceed!
January 27th, 2021 at 2:57 PM ^
Cmon now BaBaBa Benny!
January 27th, 2021 at 3:36 PM ^
(Harbaugh to Saban, probably, after stealing Rooks from him) "Checkmate, Nick, checkmate."
January 27th, 2021 at 4:41 PM ^
Great pick up at a position of need. Not expecting him to make an immediate impact. But hopefully in another year or two he becomes a house hold name.
January 27th, 2021 at 6:31 PM ^
January 27th, 2021 at 4:43 PM ^
Harbaugh sucks fire him and Nua eats dog doo and he can’t spell defensive tackle. Replace both of them because the buyout is keeping all people Worthy of going to the children’s Warde.
