By A. Bone. Wisconsin and Buffalo have offered, and he thinks Iowa, Nebraska, and maybe Oklahoma are close. Right now, Wisconsin leads.

Lechner just received an offer from his home state program, Nebraska. He believes Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas and Oklahoma may follow. Wisconsin currently leads.

By A Wallace. Lechner camped at Kansas, Olahoma and Nebraksa this past week, and thought his best shoing was at Oklahoma. He wants to leave Nebraksa for college and go somewhere with a small town feel. He is very high on Wisconsin, and says he is also very interested in Iowa and Kansas.

Per OnWisconsin, Rumors are swirling that he is the seventh Badger commit in 2009

[Bernini]

Our OnWisconsin? Did he tell you personally, or did you read it on another forum?

If true, we have to be just about finished on the offensive line, in spite of attractive big uglies like Qvale and Ward staring us in the face.

what is that now three or four commits on the o-line in what is supposedly a small class? Are some of those players switching to the other sides or what?

Not Lechner. He looks like a true offensive tackle. I'm not even aware Groy plays on the other side of the ball in high school. He looks like a very polished offensive lineman. Matthias I don't know. They're all on the tall side for DT's. I have heard Konz (very tall himself) might switch to defensive tackle from '08. Whether it's just internet chatter I don't know. I think the quality of offensive lineman we have available to us is just too difficult to pass up sometimes. One could speculate the class won't be that small come signing day.

im not saying its a small class that is just what I have been hearing on the boards.

[Heavystarch]

Our very own OnWisconsin. Its also littered on the Rivals board, expect an announcement tomorrow.

Konz sounds like he has made the switch to DT. I really hope we still take on Qvale or Ward if they want to come to Wisconsin, because they are special talents even if we do appear to have too many.

Just upon the "eye test", it would appear that Matthias would be the most likely to switch to DT, but as Bern said these guys are all behemouths

[Bernini]

Why doesn't he make any football related posts over here, only basketball related?

Anyways, with Konz I hope we're just not reaching to compensate for bad defensive tackle recruiting the past few cycles.

Four has got to be the absolute limit for offensive linemen.
