Really want Braden...possibly the best OL in the country
From what I've read and heard from people in Olathe, he's a big, strong kid and a good run blocker, but he has stiff hips and struggles with pass protection. If he goes to a run heavy school, he'll probably do very well, would probably fit well at Auburn.

They were secured by collars on either side so they weren't going to make a lot of noise.

I prefer to use Olympic weights myself. My gym is phasing the iron plates out.

Alabama was after this kid early on. I thought he was headed to TCU.

He camped at Bama and many of us thought he would commit afterwards. Supposedly he didn't perform very well.

He's strong as an ox, but he has very short arms for as big as he is. Having shorter arms helps immensely in bench pressing.

Honestly heard he'll be a bit of a project and likely projects at guard. He's a little stiff also.

No butthurt. We wanted him, and I think he will develop into a good one will just take some time.

Hope he ends up in the SEC

A&M is still recruiting him hard. Agree he's suppose to be a guard. Not the best in the country, but a big time prospect none the less. Not everyone can be a left tackle.

Does the strength translate against top talent for him?

I would imagine that it would be a beneficial component of his skill set against the opposition.

TCU, (where he has s sister), A&m (visiting this weekend), and Auburn are the finalists

what are A&M's writers predicting? all Auburn people I've seen so far project him more likely than not to end up at Auburn
