OL Branden Bowen (2nd Team All B1G)

[RB07OSU]

I thought it was the other way around, and Bowen was going to be looked at as OG and Schmidt at OT. Regardless, this will be a big commit and underrated as the skill players get all the publicity, but getting a solid 2 deep rotation of guys for the Oline will be a big improvement and a difference between us being in the hunt for an NC in the playoff or just playing in a bowl game

At 6'7, I would imagine Bowen is a tackle unless he has elite knee bend and leverage. Schmidt is closer to 6'5 and would be more capable of sliding down imo unless I am way off on their skill sets.

Just finished watching the video on 11W and this kid is just nasty. The competition isn't the greatest but definitely looks the part.

Wonder if this closes the door on Richmond. I know he's the type of recruit you typically don't say no to, but we have 5 guys like that down the stretch that fit that category and are already at 22. Will be interesting. And that would put us at 5 OL after taking 5 last year.

Finally...was starting to wonder...very happy to have this kid in this class.

 

[Thump]

A kid from Utah and a kid from South Dakota as commits.

Kudos Urban.

Ed Warinner seems to have been a big part of this so I take back what I said about coach's recruiting capabilities. Now he is a great coach and a good recruiter and I am an idiot.

It was only a mater of time. Can't wait to see what Warriner can do with him
