Great pick up, I would love to see some underclassmen playing a big role on the offensive line in the next few years. If guys like Barnett,Foster,Farmer and Gates are as good as advertised than they should be able to pass a couple of under achieving upper classmen.

 
This is a great get for the Huskers.

He will turn that fat in to muscle and seems to have a good mean streak. Give him two years(one redshirt) and he is a 2-3 year starter.

And Brokop and Raridon the next year... Wow. Someone gives these guys an OUNCE of coaching, and watch out...

Lawton coach Randy Breeze, won confirmed the commitment, loves Mike Riley and Mike Cavanaugh. "Coach Riley is a very special person."

Breeze on Riley: "He’s a very caring coach. Very humble coach. He’s soft-spoken, but when he starts talking, everybody listens." #Huskers

Two of Breeze's better recent players, linebacker Jabral Johnson and safety Tyrequek Zimmerman, just finished their careers for Riley at OSU

 
It sounds like other schools had cooled on him (refers back to Mavric's comments about his performance during UA game). However, at the very least, re-establishing these OK roots, as well as the splash of landing a high profile recruit late in the game, these are tremendous positives.

Now it's up to Cavanaugh to develop him.

 
Does anyone have any specifics on how we got this guy? Was the previous staff recruiting him and then Riley and Co. closed the deal? Or was it that Riley had looked at him while they were at Oregon State and then went after him hard after getting to a school closer to Oklahoma?

EDIT -- Sounds like Riley just offered him a month ago, after getting the NU job. Thanks, Count.

Looks like big part was Riley coached two of Barnett's Head Coaches players very recently at Oregon State. This got foot in door at least I'd say.
