NU's defensive line class is really good. We need to be signing numbers like that every single year.

You develop a guy like Suh and have Pelini's pedigree and you have a recipe for recruiting studs on the DL (I know Suh was a Cally recruit, but still). If Hawk can develop Solder into a top 3 pick--which he CAN be--if he stays around he should have his pick at top OTs next year.

:nod: Hawk can also take some of the credit for Ryan Clady, a 2* recruit that Hawk started as a RS-Freshman at Boise. He's already one of the better LTs in the NFL at only 23 years old and was a 1st round draft pick.

So far just Chidera Uzo-Diribe, a DE. It wouldn't surprise me if we wanted 2 more DEs and 2 DTs.

I hope the quality is still there. Time for bandison to turn it up a notch.
