I'll have a post up tomorrow a.m. with the uninteresting interesting things.
Are a lot bigger than I expected. I hope its good weight...
There is no such thing as bad weight
Should I post a picture with my shirt off?

Have you seen Derrck Nix?
March 17th, 2013 at 10:15 PM ^
6'6" 265 frosh. Going to be a big dude.
Taco 33 DE is a great number.
March 17th, 2013 at 11:11 PM ^
33 is a dumb number for a DE. In addition, 7 is a QB number at Michigan. Do we really want a DB wearing Rick Leach's number?
March 17th, 2013 at 11:19 PM ^
He is clearly wearing number 7 in honor of Brandon Hawthorne.
March 17th, 2013 at 11:28 PM ^
And T Rob.
If the kid wants number four at defensive end it doesn't matter. I've seen plenty of defensive lineman with single digit numbers. So being in the thirty's means absolutely nothing. If this was about number 1 then I would give you that. It's just a number.
So Douglas is actually 5'6", right?
March 17th, 2013 at 11:43 PM ^
I've stood next to Douglass before at a camp and I think the 5'10" height is pretty accurate.
A few cheeseburgers...
At that size Butt should be playing at around 240 this fall which is great size! Taco should be around 275 which is great as well. I would assume both get time this fall!!
March 17th, 2013 at 10:38 PM ^
I would really like to see Taco get some quality playing time this year. He has as much upside as anyone from this class and we are in need of a pass rushing threat.
March 17th, 2013 at 11:55 PM ^
I'd like to see him redshirt...the whole "didn't start on his HS team" thing has a little truth to it. He's gotta work on refining his technique, as Big10 tackles will be a nasty challenge.
March 18th, 2013 at 12:18 AM ^
If he didn't enroll early, then I would absolutely agree with you. I'm hoping (praying is probably a more accurate word) that Mattison works his magic in spring practice. I wouldn't question it if he got redshirted, though.
March 17th, 2013 at 10:14 PM ^
Looks like Funchess is still pretty thin, as is Ojemudia.
March 17th, 2013 at 11:20 PM ^
Ojemudia has put on 13 LBS thats not bad
March 18th, 2013 at 12:22 AM ^
I forgot he was just over 200 lbs coming out of HS. Would have been nice if he could have redshirted though it seems like the coaches aren't afraid to play kids early if they feel they can contribute.
March 17th, 2013 at 10:49 PM ^
How many fakes out of 5 do these weight and heights get?
March 17th, 2013 at 11:12 PM ^
Does anyone know how they name a position to a player on the Mgoblue Roster sheet. Courtney Avery is listed at CB but all the other CB's are listed at DB. Same thing for some of the Defensive lineman. Some are DT, DL, or DE. Would love to get some insight on this
March 17th, 2013 at 11:20 PM ^
The average size of the freshmen and redshirt freshmen on the offensive line is 6'5" and 296 lbs, and the average for all listed for the OL is 6'5" and 300 lbs. overall. Actually, on the other side of the ball, the freshmen and redshirt freshmen DEs are about three inches taller and five pounds heavier, and the incoming players listed for DL / DT are also larger. We're also looking at a typical size of 6' and 184 lbs. for defensive backs. It's a good trend indeed.
There's been some particular interest in the OL lately, so here's the OL position group height and weight by eligibility (height in inches):
FR | 78 | 296.0 |
RS FR | 77 | 295.3 |
RS SO | 76 | 306.3 |
RS JR | 76 | 298.5 |
RS SR | 79 | 309.0 |
Don't we already have a weighty thread on this:
http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/2013-spring-football-roster-w-updated-weights?page=0%2C1
Glad I looked up, but cause I almost posted the exact same thing...
We've already had this exact same discussion and dissection of weights.
Commence someone freaking out about our freshman being on the light side. Forgetting that they're comparing them to seniors at Alabama vs. other freshman (even Alabama freshman).
It's good to see LTT listed at 285. In pictures from last summer, I would've guessed well over 3 bills (and much of it bad). He must have worked pretty hard on S&C. Good for him.
These guys are big enough to play, although 5 pounds of muscle by fall would help each of them. Hoke is compiling a tall team that Wellman gets to mold.
Just a wild guess on their ability to contribute this fall:
Butt - 20 plays per game (regular part of rotation)
Taco - 10 plays (spot play on passing downs and some running downs, especially is Clark gets SDE reps)
Thomas - 10 plays (1-2 series a game a la Wilson last year)
Bosch - 10 plays (1-2 series); this is the long shot as Hoke likes RS on OL, but I think they'll prep him for G so Braden can move to T in 2014
Douglas - 5-10 plays in non critical game situations at nickel
LTT - redshirt
