Germany has been a model democracy for 70 years.
Can we talk about a kid from Germany without it immediately regressing into an argument about Nazis?
It's really lazy.
December 20th, 2017 at 11:36 AM ^
Can't tell if this a Big Lebowski joke or if you just outed yourself as a sympathizer with these neo-nazi, alt-right groups.
Edit: this was intended as a reply to Walter Sobcheck. Not sure why it appeared here. I wonder if there is one of those invisible app trolls messing up the sequence?

While your descriptions of Nazis are entertaining because they are wildly naive, it doesn't belong here. Go to Hufpo where baseless platitudes are celebrated. This is MGoBlog, stick to sports.

he prefers to be called "The Hof."
It is well known that Germans love The Hof.

According to Barton Simmons (from June), he's "freakishly athletic":
Also he can do backflips on skis. And if he commits and it works out, I'll be thrilled. But I can't say I'm excited about yet another project-type. Disclaimer, etc., Harbaugh's still the man for the job, etc.
December 20th, 2017 at 1:39 AM ^
Agree. It could work out either way. He could be a guy with limited understanding of the game who is never refined enough to see the field or he could be a great under the radar guy who we found before anyone else did. I guess that's where we are at in this cycle. Hopefully 2019 delivers on the hype and we get back into the top 10.
December 20th, 2017 at 3:13 PM ^
Short of getting all 5 stars which some people think is the only acceptable path, I don't mind filling out the last few slots with these types of high risk, but high ceiling guys.
And our loaded 2016 and 2017 classes mean we have a couple years to develop projects.
December 20th, 2017 at 12:03 AM ^
Does anyone know his age? It looks like he has been out of HS in Germany for 3-4 years, which would make him around 21-22 years old unless Germany ends high school earlier than the US.
December 20th, 2017 at 12:45 AM ^
Jawohl!:
December 20th, 2017 at 12:59 AM ^
he'll be a valuable addition.
December 20th, 2017 at 1:47 AM ^
that moved to the US when he was 7? I mean, sure, we'd like for him to also be all-conference and go to the NFL but other than that, I don't really get the comparison.

Of the young guys, you have minimum Solomon, Paea and Dwumfour on the interior, plus probably Jeter. And I have seen speculation that Upshaw at least from this class ends up inside. While I would love to add another DT, the distribution isn't as lopsided as you make it sound.

They play American football in high schools in Germany???
And if so, how many kids come here to play college football?
December 20th, 2017 at 9:46 AM ^
Likely not. There is no such thing as organized school sports in Europe. We have club sports. And here in Sweden we have Football starting for 13 year olds. I'd imagine it's similar in Germany.

Anyone from the Land of Chocolate in a Michigan uniform works for me.

that Julius did flip to us.
December 20th, 2017 at 8:45 AM ^
Sweet!
December 20th, 2017 at 9:27 AM ^
So the guy who said we could still get Anoma was talking out his ass? Who could have guessed that.
December 20th, 2017 at 9:30 AM ^
"Number 1 SDE in Germany" -- they rank players in Germany in a sport they don't play? This is like if there was an American ranking of the top high school cricketers (ok, so there probably is, honestly).
