How did you have O'Connell pegged coming out of HS?

Jace Lewis was a walk-on and look at him now.

Point being...he may be ok at either position.

O'Connell was an All-State TE and LB. If he wanted to play FCS, I felt his best shot was at DE if he added some weight with maybe potential for an H-back type role on offense. Didn't think he had good enough speed to play a true every-down inside linebacker. He goes to Mary, plays MLB, feels he can compete at the FCS level still, walks on to UM as a LB, and finally finds a role for himself as a hybrid DE/LB where he can get after the QB while still taking on some LB duties. Patrick was good on both sides of the ball in high school....like "All-State, Western AA defensive player of the year" good.

Don't know why you are mentioning Jace in this comparison. Jace was one, if not the, best linebacker prospect coming out of a loaded 2016 in-state recruiting class. His instincts and physicality were off the charts and those two traits have allowed him to thrive in a starting role as a junior (and ace special teams player/LB fill-in his first two years). So...Jace was an exceptional LB in high school and he's now an exceptional LB in college. Sure, he was a good QB but only because he was a great athlete at the position (queue Bobcats joke). He was never going to be a college QB.

Both Patrick and Jace were impact football players on both sides of the ball in high school which I can't honestly say for Asher. Asher is really, really good at RB and just okay at LB (when he played it in Class B). If the Griz were to force him in at LB, my believe is it would be a mistake and a misuse of his talent. The tape doesn't lie when he plays RB versus LB.

Thanks. And yes, someone insert the obligatory Bobcat QB joke please.

Last night he went for 307 on 25 carries in the league champ game vs. Shadle Park

Have we offered him?

Not clear. I don’t think we have and he hasn’t indicated an offer. We invited him out for a game so he’s on the radar but we also have a lot of offers out to other RBs so maybe waiting to see what happens there. He looks like a stud though.

Did Bobby wait until today to offer him or did the kid wait to post it? Either way the timing is GREAT.

Interesting that he posted his junior season on hudl 2 weeks ago. He’s not afraid of contact.

If that isn’t an in-your-face move to the Vikings I don’t know what is.

Believe it or not, Barney brought his oldest back when Stitt was here & made his unofficial. Barney & Bobby are friends - nothing to be in anyone’s face over.

So the timing of his announcement is just coincidental?

Probably not, but this is more of the continuation of a long running joke between these two than anything else. Kid is committed to WSU for baseball until he’s not.
