I know both Hodgepodge and crazybuckfan40 really like this kid...

Same high school as Dane Sanzenbacher and me, but I don't count. Went back home to see Central play twice last season and he was destroying guys off the line. I like him more on offense. Quick off the ball on defense but takes himself out of the play often.

 

[Hodgepodge]

He also has a class of '11 linemate named Kyle Cameron who would be a fairly highly recruited player if he was a bit taller (he's listed at 6-2 285). I personally like Boles as an OG. At one point I thought he had a lot of potential as a DT, but he's just not been dominant there.

I do, and from those articles there seems to be a little more action with his recruitment than I had heard...

He has a lot of competition for an offer tho, hopefully he comes to camp...I would think that is when he woudl have to earn his offer...

Agreed. He's kind of built a little oddly for a big man. Not sure I buy that 6''5 reported height. Reminds me of an old-fashioned nose guard in his proportions. Could be a mean OG.

Yeah, I think he's more like 6-3 and he still seems to be carrying some "baby fat". He might become a monster in a college weight program. He's great as a pulling guard and is obviously pretty athletic for a big guy. He simply lacks the burst and and explosion necessary to be a dominant defensive tackle at the next level. He's got guard written all over him.

ESPN 970 WFUN - Sports Report Memos

* "Under-rated, under-rated"...We talked to the former head of personnel for an NFL team last Tuesday and asked him who he thought were the most under-rated Ohio high school players were in the state. He said:

3 - Chris Boles - OL - Toledo Central Catholic. "He is in better condition than Walker. He is just as nasty. He moves people in a way Walker doesn't. I can't understand why he does not have the offer list Walker has."

 

[crazybuckfan40]

I agree...

Rivals$--Toledo OL hearing from Spartans

Chris has 11 offers and says he realizes tOSU isn't going to happen for him. He feels he is better than many of the players receiving the hype.
