Plus it seems a lot of OL recruiting is about upside. I know this is the case somewhat with all prospects, but a ton of OL recruiting seems to put much more emphasis on the frame, wingspan, etc. While this does make an OL much more intriguing, it doesn't necessarily make them a sure bet. But in regards to J.B., I think to maybe be in the rotation freshman year would be realistic.

By Newberg...seems headed OOS favorites are OU, OSU, Michigan, Florida. Still looking at LSU but they weren't in his top tier.

According to J.B.'s coach, he will visit Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma and Florida before deciding late this summer.

I am alone in thinking that the "Block O" is really going to happen?

For me personally it is still WAY too early to tell...we are still 11 months away from NLOID '08.

definitely too early.
Personally, I'd be surprised if we get 2 or more of these guys.
hope I'm wrong

I think we have two of the original 4 already in the bag (so to speak)... I think a 3rd is very, very close... The 4th one, and one that this thread is about, could go either way (here or elsewhere)...
But we are seeing ourselves get into great shape with kids like Jenkins and Sanders as well... So, we may not get all 4 of the original "Block O" (I'd definitely bet on 3 at this point in time), it looks like we will get 4-5 HIGH quality O-Lineman in this class, rest assured...
