Brian Van Gorder.
Word is, its a pretty solid hire. Guy's funny looking as hell though. Looks like a cross between Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite and Smiling Bob from those creepy Enzyte commercials.

Just remember one thing, Uncle Rico could really pitch the rock, he could wing it a mile.

I bet you he could throw it over the mountains.

Great news. We can use him. This class is becoming awesome.

Just saw that, awesome.

What would be awesome is a NT. If they can find a NT in this class it would be a great class. Also anyone heard any news on McKenzie?

 

[whywork2]

Uncle Rico is ecstatic!

How cold is it in Wisconsin right now? It's finally started warming up here in New England.

Right now at 5:30 am it's 7 degrees. Tonight it's supposed to get to -22 and -50 with wind chill. Three or four years ago we missed a nightmare of a blizzard by one week. If there would have been a game scheduled then I honestly believe it would have been cancelled. Sounds crazy but you can play when the roads are impassable.

Nice group of LBs coming in.

I wish we could have got Clifton Garrett. I would have been nice to land both the Illinois linebackers. Ohio State has a great linebacking class this time around.

I really like our O line commits for this year. This is two strong O line classes in a row. if only we can get a few more on the D line.

Did we lose any of our targets this weekend?

Well I know ESPN no longer list McKenzie as a commit but most of the other sites weren't anyway. I'm not sure if he'll end up at Notre Dame or not, I know SEC schools are starting to sniff around.

He can't get into ND, academically. That is the issue.

Here is where we are at...1 - 4 spots left. We have decent shots at Michiah Quick, Terrance Alexander and Charles Nelson. Long shots on the radar still are JuJu Smith, Braden Smith, McKenzie (won't qualify), and Dalton Shultz. Always a surprise name that pops late in the cycle as well. The difference will be made up with 5th year seniors.

Class is really nice. LB is awesome. WR depth is now great, Brent is a stud. NT unfortunately prob isn't going to happen this cycle.

Wait until Blake Barnett hits campus in 2015...special, special QB.

 

[NDKane21]

With Morgan, Scouts now has this class as number 3 in the country.

Word is ND coaches are trying push him in.

I'm assuming you mean McKenzie. Landing him would be a great, the kid is super athletic no matter his height.

Also Blake Barnett was the first 2014 Elite 11 MVP.
