What's this intelligent young man's name?the herd "stole" another recruit from WVU
Honestly old pal, I never get overly excited about recruiting...you can't see into their hearts and heads two crucial components of football players and men in general. " Some of these so called 5 star recruits couldn't play dead in a Western Movie" - Rich Rod, the greatest and most under appreciated football coach in WVU history!
Toby is a good player like his brother Ethan. He is just one of those awful tweeners who doesnt get looks from some because his is too big sliw for one position but maybe too small for another.
Sounded like Toby had a lot of offers and at 6'5 he's got plenty of size for that position. Ethan I suspect will really struggle to get on the field at MU , he seems to be a tween as you described but always room for a hard nosed special teams player.
I dont think Toby had a lot of offers really. Not because he isnt a good player though. Ethan will do better than you think. Both are tough kids. Ethan is more athletic.
I have also questioned the assertion that particular players had offers from schools as well, how does one really know that unless a school promulgates a list of all the players they've offered rides to...and I know of nobody that does that!
I dont know what offers are said to be out there for Toby but he is being looked at as a TE by most and how many real TE offers go out a year? Its irrelevant because if Toby doesnt play TE he will likely grow into a LB and IMO defense is his best side of the ball.
Many kids that have size 6'5 end up eating and lifting their way onto the OL as well. Hard to project HS kids.
I am not sure Toby is really 6'5" but he is taller than me at 6'4". He has grown a lot just since covid. His family and my family have been friends for a long time.
Not sure he makes it to OL size but he is a lean 6'4 or 5 now.
