With those early offers, he must be pretty good.
October 24th, 2011 at 7:08 PM ^
we are banging out the offers for 2013 O- lineman, I am guessing that will be a focus again next year even with this years loaded class. Hoke keep them coming for sure.

Well, as we're learning the hard way right about now, every college football team should bring five scholarship offensive linemen each year in order to keep numbers up.
October 24th, 2011 at 9:20 PM ^
I don't know about 5 every year. Most RS, so that means you'd have between 20-25 scholarships tied into the OL. That's almost a third of the team. I think you go for four every year and target to have between 15-20 on the team total. We're taking at least 6 this class and 5-6 next year because we only had 4 in the previous two classes and two of them are already off the team (Pace injury and Posada transfer). After that, I think we'll take 4 every year.

Pocic is one of the best lineman in the midwest. He is going to be fought over a lot.
October 24th, 2011 at 7:09 PM ^
Any chance this kid goes to not-Notre Dame?
October 24th, 2011 at 7:25 PM ^
as long as Kelly keeps yelling and tearing down his players on national tv, and USC keeps telling anyone who will listen that ND quit and gave up with 6 minutes left last weekend I would say yes there is a chance he goes somewhere else other than ND. If he throws a chair on the field he is basically Bob Knight.
October 24th, 2011 at 7:58 PM ^
Except Bob Knight could actually coach. Kelly just yells without the coaching.
October 24th, 2011 at 8:03 PM ^
are you telling me that ripping kids by their facemasks and almost stroking out by yelling and screaming and making kids feel an inch tall is not good coaching? See all my ND fans seem to think it okay to act like a roided Woody Hayes while always being caught by the national televisions each week?

Doesn't seem like it's had much of a negative effect on Steve Elmer and Jordan Payton so far.
October 24th, 2011 at 7:24 PM ^
Brings excellent size to our program... Be a perfect fit. Still lovin how we are going after all Midwest Recruits.
October 24th, 2011 at 7:56 PM ^
hope Dave puts in a good word for UM
October 24th, 2011 at 7:58 PM ^
with offers from wiscy
October 24th, 2011 at 8:03 PM ^
Usually, yeah. But Kelby Latta had an early Wisconsin offer and we don't seem to want to touch him depsite him being an in-state kid.

Looks like our old buddy TomVH did an interview with him over at Wolverine Nation: http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=7094911
October 24th, 2011 at 10:23 PM ^
Per TomVH, he's from the same HS as David Molk, and Tom tweeted this image, it's something their S&C coach has in his office...
October 24th, 2011 at 10:28 PM ^
So you're saying he's going to Air Force?
October 25th, 2011 at 3:00 AM ^
from Nebraska and Wisconsin as an OL is a dream.
October 25th, 2011 at 10:09 AM ^
Ethan's brother Graham plays for Illinois as well...so there's that.
