LB Jeff Roberson commits

[mkAz]

I think he deserves his own thread. Nice addition at a position of need. I can see him slotting in next to Maverick Baranowski at LB.

PFF isn't everything, but he graded out lower than Dev Williams last year.

P4 we coming for your players!

 

[Stan]

Love it! Another P4 transfer, Fleck getting a haul this portal season.

To be fair, the whole Cowboy defense rated the bottom of the conference per PFF which may have been a factor. A huge switch to a few years before when Knowles had them as a top defense in the country before going to Ohio State.

Yeah it's always hard to quite get a hold of what someone could do when they're on extreme great and extreme bad teams.

You see it in almost every sport.

Nice get, between Mav, Williams and this guy got three solid guys to rotate in and it takes pressure off Kingsbury and Carrier to be ready. Guessing this guy can mix in at SAM in certain packages as well

How did Williams grade out?

How did Williams grade out?

61 overall. Roberson is 56, but about the same grade in pass coverage.

I’m not super familiar with pff, is a certain rating considered average?

Being in the 70's would typically be considered a good game.

60 is considered average.

I take more stock in the fact Oklahoma wanted him. When I googled him there were several articles from OK sites that were super happy they thought they had signed the Ok State “stud”

 

[GophersInIowa]

Apparently his brother played for Oklahoma too.

I also saw that Fleck did recruit him out of HS so they knew each other a little bit already.

Oh noes, the internet will assume it's tampering!

Granted everything is tampering, except when we do it...

[Governor Sibley]

Hard position to get a transfer, I think. We've whiffed before.

 

[btowngopher]

Looks like he has good size and speed, even if he’s average it’s a great add when you only have two veterans returning.

How did Williams grade out?

Not great generally on the eye test, but I thought he played well in the ball game.

He got on the field for Oklahoma State because of injuries to their starters. I don't think it's likely he's a world beater, but he'll be good, experienced depth and can compete for a starters spot.

 

[btowngopher]

He played great in this game against WVU last year.

 

[WAGopher]

We need depth. And a cherry on top if he becomes a starter.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

60 is average

Coach ‘em up

 

[Kitzmann57]

I'm excited to see #48 Matt Kingsbury fight for a starting job next yr.
