He's the third commit today...and expect QB Aidan Smith to follow suit soon.

Question about Gunnar. In another article about him it said he has bulked up and grown a couple of inches since last season. His tape was good but will the new size make him a different kind of player? position wise or speed wise?
He self-reported 6-6 290. The coaches offered him as a tackle after an in-person evaluation, so they must be reasonably sure his athleticism is still there after adding the size. I suspect he looks like a very different player than last year's tape.
Where does this leave Heckel, who seems an NU lean and is very well-regarded? Are we done at OL or do we take 5?
Seems like Heckel is out. The staff has targeted four OL recruits, though I think we could do with five or six.
That's rough you have to feel for the guy. Hopefully he lands that Wisconsin offer
Or that tweet was about McDonalds being out of egg mcmuffins, his pants ripping on the way to school today, and forgetting his homework at home.
IF he is still interested, I agree. We have only taken 3 the last few years and we have been pretty short on Bigs. Many can go OL or D and we need both. Especially since this is likely to be the largest class in a while.
That is one big kid.
If there are a few other offered kids out there whom NU considers to be offensive tackles in college, I hope we pursue them. Tackles are tough for us to find.
