'20 MI OL Justin Rogers (Kroger Field, folks)

[Joe Dirt]

Just curious what makes you think something like this? Not being a jerk just wanted to know what you are basing it on

He has narrow shoulders, so an additional 30 pounds wouldn't be good weight IMO. He's built a lot like Da'Ron Payne who I believe was 311 at the combine last year -- which shows you can be a dominant NT without having to be K-Mac sized. Like @jakez4ut said, it's more about strength and technique at the 1-tech. The whole point of the 3-4 NT is to free up the ILBs to make plays on the ball carrier, not rack up stats.

He dominated the Under Armour future 50 camp playing between a 1-3 tech. He went up against some of the top OL in the country in that camp. Wanna say he was one rep short of perfect on the day. I sent him all of the videos I took that day and he edited them together. I will send the tweet in a minute

 

[vol4092]

Well I can’t find that compilation tweet but I’ll try to upload the videos. Dominates Tucker and Marcus Henderson time and time again

Called my shot via email to some Michigan State work colleagues 4 months ago and told them to watch the UM meltdown *when* Rogers commits. We've all been having a good laugh at Harbaugh and UM for months now. First with Bailey, next with Crouch, and now with Rogers. There's no fanbase that's as easily triggered as that school up in Ann Arbor.

Hahaha Michigan is comedy gold:

This is FANTASTIC!

Wally Walmart can never believe that anyone would not want to be a part of the greatest charade in college football. The arrogance that if a player picks UT over Wally World then he must be getting paid is comical.

You made my day!

yep. think Hampton when he played for the steelers or Natta when he played for the ravens...what's his name that played for the patriots..wilfork? the reason you know about all the LB's that played for those teams is because of the guys in the middle of the DL....gotta have a really good to great one there...will make everyone else shine.

this kid can do that for us.

 

[drvenner]

seriously?

I was making fun of Callahan. Saying it was trending and of course it could change. In my defense, I was sleepy.

 

[drvenner]

The Michigan tears are great.

Glorious!! Thank you for posting.

 

[bignewt]

I'd like to recant my statement of keeping him at guard your honor...

It’s funny because they think they’re relevant. Haven’t been for almost as long as we haven’t been. Harbaugh’s name and actions generated some buzz for a while but hasn’t generated much for meaningful wins in a mediocre conference.

I don’t. We need elite level O-Line too.

That’s how you control the clock and keep your D-Line FRESH.

What good are elite defenders in the 4th quarter if they’ve been on the field the whole game..

 

[JAllen18]

We want him at Defense Tackle, could be a future Albert Haynesworth type. We are reloading the D-line.

I'd like you to refer back to the video exhibit A counselor.

It’s part of the reason he’s coming here. We are really selling him playing defense

 

[GoVolsDR]

Let's laugh at Michigan some more:

 

[Jackcrevol]

were just a better program and we're paying our recruiters top dollar.

I think it's harder to find elite DL. I agree with what you're saying, but if he is equally good at both and can be elite at DL, he has to be at DL.

Nice to be hated again.

 

[Pepe]

Recruit all of the elite defensive tackles that you can get and transition the smartest ones to OL

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

I dont really care where he ends up. We need to to take all the top notch Lineman we can find, and we'll figure out where they fit when they get here. Omari Thomas is another one that could go either way.

The Michigan tears are great.

OSU board is just as bad, if not worse. He was 100 projected to be a Buckeye. Hate to be the bearer of bad news for them, but #1 OT Paris Johnson is likely to decommit in the next couple months if not sooner.
