New Recruit?

[mggoph]

Rivals no longer has Nosa Equae as a "soft" verbal commitment to Colorado. Minnesota is now the only team listed as high on his list. Anybody know anything for sure? TIA.

...I'd put some liberty coupons down on him committing to Minnesota!

Good catch mggoph! I've wanted to get this kid for awhile. No idea why scout only has him as a 2* look at his offers.

1330 SAT, very impressive! Lets bring this guy on and put 30 pounds on him!

[Goldteam]

does his size get in the way a little bit?

most of the DE's are in the 6'4" to 6'5" range

he is 6'2"

i wonder if that hurts his ranking?

[bigtenchamps1899]

scout has him at DT, which would mean he would have to bulk up, but that is easier than growing;)

[bigtenchamps1899]

also scout says that he was being recruited by nebraska, so perhaps cosgrove has something to do with this.

I doubt it since Coz has been outta the game for over a year now.

They changed the SAT a few years ago. It's now three section each worth 800 points. A 1330 would be roughly equal to an 890 in the old format.

Personally, I would be thrilled to bring in Eguae if we get the chance. He's had some pretty good programs pursuing him and he would add another high three-star prospect to a class that already has a bevy of them.

He probably needs to add some weight, but he seems to be very well thought by most scouts and he would almost certainly be a contributor down the road.

Regardless, this is some very welcome news imo!!

Willie VanDeSteeg is 6'2'' also. He was pretty good.

VanDeSteeg is 6'4"......nice guess though

[TCF=UnitedWeStand]

If he is listed at 6'2, then he's probably 6'1, but thats okay. Short D-Linemen came make up for a lack of height with strenght, quickness, determination, etc.

Jon Schlect ( I know thats a while a go - 10 years(?)) wasn't very tall, but he was ridiculously strong, played hard, and i think ended up 2nd team All Big Ten.

So, it can be done.

Rivals lists him at 6'3"
