I’m sure someone else has pointed this out but our Oline is something straight from the script a spoof football comedy.

4 black guys and one hillbilly looking white guy, named… Black.

I'd be totally fine with off-brand Trey White

I believe the cool kids would call him Temu Trey White

 

[Carm]

Dvoracek is following Elijah Hill (lots of Husker accounts are following Nick Brooks, including Rhule, but that has to be from recruiting him out of HS. No way Dvoracek's follow of Hill isn't recent)

Hill is also following Dvoracek

I mean they have "bodies" at DT, everyone is just clamoring for a "bigger" NT.
So far they've added Whittington, Burburija, and possibly Berymon.
They have RVP, Parrot, Lefotu, Simpson, & Terry coming back. The move to a 4 man front fits all of those guys better, as well as tweaner like Lenhardt.

I hope you’re right. I like Aurich ans have high expectations for him, but if there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s you can’t be small up front in the B1G. You will get run over. Now, that doesn’t mean you have to have a 335 lb stuffer, but we still look a little small up front IMO.

I don't want Nick Brooks. Never seen so much bad weight on a kid in HS

True freshman, 37 pressures, 11 sacks, 23 hurries. It is C-USA, but still...Lines up outside the tackle on almost every snap. Looks like a Aurich guy.

Would be a great get iwbh

Are the Twitter follows really worth anything? Seems like we hear about a million guys being followed by several staff members and almost none of them ever visit.

It doesn’t take much effort to click “follow”. Just seems like following someone isn’t a particularly valuable data point anymore.

Thanks a lot Carm. Now I’m going to be super pissed if we don’t get this guy.

A recent follow of a player who just entered the portal is an indication of at least a cursory interest in that player. 90+% of the time they don’t lead to anything, but it does tell you something.

I agree it is far from being strong evidence. But it gets me thinking given that this guy seems to be exactly who'd you be looking for if you were trying to fill the Trey White role in Aurich's defense

 

[Carm]

There is a decent chance Aurich knew about this guy. Kennesaw St runs a very similar defense and their DC, Marc Mattioli, was a finalist for the Broyles award, just like Aurich.

Elijah Hill is the missing piece to this portal class. Add him and I feel great about our additions.

Adding an RB would be nice, but not necessary IMO.

RB is very necessary. We'll have the worst RB room in p2 if we don't add a good one.

Yeah I want a proven running back if possible. If we don’t, I guess we’re depending on Mozee to take a huge jump

We know how you feel. You've mentioned a time or ten. Relax. Not everyone agrees and that ok.

Need a RB bigly

Exactly. If Rhule wants to keep his job, he can’t afford to take that gamble. We are 100% betting on potential at this point. That’s a pretty big risk to take for someone who is coaching for their job

People said the same thing last year. I really think Nelson can be a dude.
