4-star OL Denver Kirkland

[bullcocky101]

Nah, take Kirkland, but there are other areas that need to be addressed....every time I hear of someone visiting, it is an o-lineman and we have them stockpiled because that is practically all Holtz wanted to recruit. We are short on LB's, QB's, RB's, DE's, and safeties...if the lineman is good take him, I just hope there are enough scholarships left to stockpile at the much needed positions.

Glad to hear that the 9th best OL in the country meets your lofty expectations. Might be the guy that turns a great QB or RB prospect our way as well. Lot's of dynamics go into different prospects decisions.

And there is this

Under Armour All-American Game: FSU commit Ira Denson says he and Denver Kirkland are package deal

Rumors have been circling that FSU commit Ira Denson from Madison County would be going to college in a package deal with Miami Booker T. Washington’s offensive tackle Denver Kirkland, who is currently undecided.

Friday at Under Armour’s All-America game in St. Petersburg, Denson said it was more than a rumor.

“We’re going together,†the 6-foot-4, 317-pound offensive guard said.

Since Denson said FSU was his “No. 1 top dog,†and didn’t express as much enthusiasm for the other two schools in the mix, Ole Miss and Auburn, his comments would suggest that Kirkland will soon be a ‘Noles commit, as well.

But when asked about the package deal Kirkland wasn’t as solid in his response.

“We talked about it,†Kirkland (6-5, 285) said. “It is what it is. Whatever happens, happens, but don’t be surprised.â€

And although Kirkland ranked FSU in his top four schools, which also included Ole Miss, Miami and USF, he talked about building a relationship with new USF coach Willie Taggart. Both Denson and Kirkland said they will visit USF this month.

“Me and him [Taggart] are getting that bond, and just getting to know each other better,†Kirkland said. “I think South Florida is really something people don’t know about right now, and a lot of people might be surprised.â€

Kirkland not only spoke highly of South Florida, but he also said he is still looking for a school to fill the fifth spot in his top 5. The two schools in the running are West Virginia and USC.

There was plenty of recruiting going on among players this week at the team hotel during the week of practices leading up to the Under Armour game. Florida pledges tried to Denson away from his FSU commitment during his stay in Orlando, but he said it had no effect on him for the All-American practices and games, but had no effect.

“They say, ‘We can build a better program,’ that I’m a good guy and that they want me to come play for them,†Denson said.

“I don’t have an interest.â€

This would be great! I would love to have those two...correct me if i'm wrong, but don't we only have 5 scholarships left after the recent WR commit? If we take 2 O-linemen, that will be 6 in this class alone (we took 5 last year and 5 the year before that). A good o-line is key, but we need players to stand behind it also.

That video was unbearable to watch

Pure raw talent...... I wonder if he may be better suited to move inside though? He's seems very stiff and a good pass rusher i think will get around him.... Amazing run blocker though...

we need this kind of size on the other side of the ball as well.  Would be nice to get some DT's with this kind of size.

He sure likes the word "Like"....lol
