He’s been hurt almost his entire career though.

read ya'll lost a 3 star OL to ut as a preferred walkon...damn...his dad played at ut, but don't see how you pass up a rice education (free) and probably play a ton...sucks

Yeah, Luke Brockermeyer.

His dad (who played in the NFL for a long time) and grandfather both played for Texas.

He also turned down a scholarship offer from Oregon State. Kind of a weird recruitment.

The other twist in his recruitment is that his brother (who isn't an athlete) is a sophomore at Rice right now.

Win some, lose some, I suppose... Bloomgren did a nice job of pulling together a class that at the very least, beat a couple of teams other than UTEP in the rankings. Like any coaching change, can't fully judge a staff's ability on the trail until their first full class.

On the topic of another walk-on, one of Bloomgren's first offers as a new coach was to an ATH from the San Francisco area. A couple weeks ago, he got offered by Cal and I had pretty much wrote him off as that is the school in his backyard.

Today, he ends up taking a PWO offer from Wisconsin! Call it the JJ Watt effect I suppose...
