He seems more polished on the OL right now but I think if he gets taught up right at DT, he could be one heck of a force. Either way you look at it, he's very versatile. I will definetly keep an eye on how Ryan does at camp.

I coach in this league, and the competition he plays against in the league is terrible (comparitively speaking to other recruits) This was the first year in a long time there was any DI talent in the league. His teammate Adam Bice went to Akron along with Joe Pachuta from John Glenn (who was teammates with Aaron Bates--Punter for MSU) Most kids play DIII in the OAC. The kids he is destroying dont weigh 180 lbs, for the most part. An average interior player in this league would be lucky to go 6'0 220 lbs. The final 3 games he played last year were against good team--Lake (his team was destroyed 42-0 in the rain and mud--TV runs the spread) Logan and Louisville. I am not sure how he did against these teams individually.
I will say this. He passes the look test, can move, explosive, athletic, great tenacity, etc. It will come down to camp.
I think he was much better than Bice, mostly b/c of his size. I would say he is every bit of 6'4"-6'5".
I hope he overcomes the level of comp thing b/c he is a great kid deserves any and all recoginition he gets.

Greetings.
Darn strong board here.
Noticed in some pics of TP a rather large kid/man with a "TV" letter jacket.
Must of been Spicer.
It would make Diddy sleep better if 4 or 5 in-state OL garnered offers.
I saw where Watt received his ND Offer today. I don't share the confidence of some that he will follow Goebel here.

Not to hijack Ryan's thread, but He, Turner, and Wood were the 3 guys that I saw that were sitting in the same section as Pryor, Brewster, Adams, Stoney, and Shugarts...Also know that Toussaint was there, but I never saw him, and not sure where the rest of the juniors were sitting, because there were 3 full buses of juniors and parents that dropped them off at the schott for the game...
