pittengineer: Bob, is jenkins OSU bound or does FSU and Pitt have a chance?
BobLichtenfels: Jenkins wants to play early, not a lock for osu
Gpowers: I would say Jenks is all OSU except for the fact he feels some pressure about the other three great linemen coming in w/ this class

SteveRyan: Baker Steinkuhler, he's the only one I want to know about
Gpowers: Baker Steinkuhler looked really good today. It was the first chance I had to see him this week and had some domnant moments. Steve, you know I love his potential as a OL, but he look really good on "D"
BobLichtenfels: Baker Steinkuhler looked like a stud at DT today
AlanZepeda: Baker has been great all week long, it is a great group of DL's and he has stood out and been consistant

parkcreek: BOB..When you get a chance...where do you see patrick johnson ending up...any hope for fsu?
BobLichtenfels: I'm hearing some buzz with Patrick and LSU

Panthers63: Bob can you talk a little bit about lucas nix and how he has performed?
BobLichtenfels: Nix never played guard before so he struggled to adjust early

bigloss: Bob, thoughts on Lucas Nix? he's looked terrible
BobLichtenfels: Nix hasn't looked terrible

Buckeye62: How are the LB’s on the West? And where do you rate them?
BobLichtenfels: Sabino-Brown Bradham
Gpowers: Mauti was pretty special today, but I personally did not see enough of him to know if he is better then Sabino, Brown or Bradham
AlanZepeda: Mauti will be our MVP for the West on the day, yesterday he was second only to Katoa, today he was better than Katoa and Katoa was pretty darn good

BobLichtenfels: Baldwin will be a WR the kid is a freak

dangerdawg23: How has Jermaine Kearse looked?
AlanZepeda: Kearse has looked good, the quarterbacks like throwing his way and he catches everything

HuskerMadHatter: Baker Steinkuhler? How does he look?
AlanZepeda: Baker Steinkuhler has been great all week long, he is constantly pushing the LOS back and makes plays, I really like him

chuangtsu: Mike Adams the best tackle in the country?

BobLichtenfels: Nix played well today and worked a bit at tackle as well

JKBlue: how has nick perry looked and where do you think h might go
BobLichtenfels: I think Perry stays closer to home, but USC is hard to pass up
