Reeve Koehler

[troyer37]

Where is he at on the depth chart. He was a pretty highly rated OL out of Highschool. I haven't heard the coaches talking about him at all. Anybody know anything about him?

[onebadrubi]

Nobody has really mentioned his name.  Hopefully a UU or Irwin will ask for us and report back.

According to reports I have seen and CBB's comments after spring practice, Reeve has yet to adjust to the speed of the college game and has also had some weight and injury issues. 

He's a RS Freshman this year.

Thanks for the update.

Not all players adjust quickly. Here's to hoping he can get his body and mind sorted out so he can achieve his potential. If he doesn't get on it, he will find himself passed over by all the young talent Pittman is bringing in every class.

Sometimes it just takes offensive lineman longer to develop, even ones that were highly regarded in high school. I just hope Reeve doesn't get down on himself and keeps working hard to eventually win a starting role.

Didn't the kid have pretty extensive knee surgery on a knee cap or patella tendon?  This is something that isn't just fixed over a spring practice.  He may still be unsure of getting his knee under him.  Remove adrian the freak peterson and go look at all others with knee complications.  They need one full year to recover physically, and it takes about another year mentally.  A 300lb lineman, I can only imagine those times lengthen.  Luckily, this kid will be given 4 years of chance and with our S&C program, he will be huge for us later in his career.  No reason to think he would be passed by a freshman in a year or two, because by that time we should start to see the studs have RS in front of their class title.

Agreed. Any position on the O-line is a tough position to play.

From high school to SEC would sure be a challenge. Hope he makes it.

Koehler is potential quality depth.  Some of the best smash-mouth teams over the last several decades have lined up 5th-year seniors across the line.  Allowing for slow, yet steady development leads to consistent line play.

[RazorPiggie]

You've got to remember he is just a RS Freshman. He has plenty of time to play.

I think the 2nd string guys are going to play a lot this year, so the 3rd string will play a lot in blowouts.  Guys like Koehler will play a lot in their career with rotation Pittman is establishing.

Even if he doesn't play until his RS Junior year, that isn't the worst thing. 3 full years to develop and grow under our staff. Then have 2 years to contribute.

well it was crazy to me that they are already talking about Ragnow playing and Wallace guys that weren't as highly rated out of highschool and these guys are freshmen. It does seem though the injury prob set him back quite a bit.

[aloha_kid]

He'll be fine.

Both Wallace and Ragnow were highly rated and wanted by every top school in the country.

I bet if you run this by Mike Irwin, he can tell you first hand or find out.

I know another poster pointed this out but I'll add to it. Both of these guys were being recruited by everyone and their mother!

Thanks for posting those links.  You gotta love that Brian Wallace had 22 Crystal Ball predictions with 82% for Bama and 18% for Iowa.

Jesus Christ.... Not everyone is going to play much less start.  God Almighty some if ya'll need to chill out over some of the players.

Yes

[aloha_kid]

585 ?

If the bar is 45 it is.  Either way a little bit of weight on it.
