Ahhh there it is, the obligatory “This recruit will start from day 1!” post. It just isn’t a legit offseason without irrational over hyping of HS kids who have yet to step foot on campus.
So being excited to watch a highly touted recruit ,who happens to play a position of major need,  and stating that" I wouldn't be surprised if he starts" is irrational over hyping?  Look, our ILB play this past season left a lot to be desired.  So yes, I happen think Nick can come in and contribute right away if he is healthy this spring.  However, I would hardly consider any of this "over hyping".  

 
He never said anything about day 1. Why be a punk? You are the one that is being overly sensitive about someone’s opinion.
I am particularly skeptical of all of the “this guy is a true frosh starter” rhetoric. Overhype is BS. He didn’t say day one, but he pretty much implied it. Reality is that, barring injury, there is little chance he is a starter in year 1. Stop trying to place unrealistic expectations o. HS kids. This kind of rhetoric is what leads to “he is a bust!” talk as a RFr.

Don’t backtrack, at least own your your assumption. 

 
I don't either...I think redshirts are all but done except for maybe lineman and maybe a few specialists here and there.  If a kid needs to redshirt you probably recruited the wrong kid and that is not a slight on anyone it is just about roster management.
My prediction of Nick is that he will benefit tremendously by being an early enrolle. He will put on 20lbs and learn the D quick enough to work into the rotation by Fall.

I can see that. We should be able to rotate in around 6 guys at the ILB position. Barry, Honas, Weinmaster, Miller, Hannah, Henrich should all be good to go. I don't see us redshirting the last two but we have some solid depth just a drop of from Barry to the rest of them. Ruud deserves big props for developing Weinmaster and getting Barry playing at an elite level as well. I wouldn't doubt it that he has the younger guys ready to take a big role in 2020. 

 
Dropped 8 spots to 127.
