I can't help but look at some of his photos. Isn't it easier to put on weight than it is to take it off? I am concerned that if this kid isn't serious about football 365 days a year he is going to get heavier and slower. The huge heavy lineman we've recruited over the past 15 years haven't really ended up starting. Its the tall big framed men that grown until they are upper classmen that prove best. Like I am an expert?

What about the fact that the best offer he had came from MSU. Besides us it was between the MAC and Indiana?

All that said he did get a good report from JC and PK.
It's not like he has to lose a lot of weight, 10 pounds max, and if he's strong and moving well all he needs to do is get some conditioning in. I wouldn't worry about a 315 lb kid who is said to move well.

As far as offers it's still relatively early, everyone is still trying to nail down the 4 & 5 star kids. This kid could also end up being a 4 star kid by the time his Sr. year is over.
