Great pickup.. Haven't seen too many guys pancake defensive players like he does. He's going to be a beast. Now if we can get some beasts on the other side of the ball... Come-on Moala, Barr, McReynolds, etc.

Maybe him committing tips the scales for the other AZ guys since they seem to be really good friends. Even if he doesn't start a cascade of commits, he is talented enough to be a headliner in this year's class.

Good thing he plays on the line and won't have his name called much.

Seeing Andre's highlight video suggests that if any lineman makes a noteworthy play in the eyes of an announcer its going to be andre with his run mauling....
Stewart Mandel-"From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I much prefer to watch a good spread-rushing offense over a traditional Power-I offense, and Oregon's has been the most fun by far for the past several years. It's fast, its precise, and when Chip Kelly has the right quarterback (Dixon, Masoli) at the helm, the possibility of someone ripping off a 60-yard run exists on nearly every play."

Number #1 on my wish list. But I tend to watch games over and over in slow motion watching the line play and the X and Os of the play develop, so I have a prejudice for offensive line men who squish defenders.

Andre the Pancakemaker.

Wouldn't be shocked to see him moved in to guard eventually. In his highlights his second level blocking remiinded me a lot of Mark Lewis.

Maybe convert him to Andre the "Waffle Stomper"... Crush multiple opponets every play.

He said in one of his interviews his nickname is "Andre the Giant". That seems like a great name for a kid who is 6'7 280.

Enormous pickup. I never get too excited about any commit until they sign their LOI though.

You do know that is just stealing a nickname from an old wrestler right?

Greatwood can turn about any OL into a legitimate Pac-10 starter. People slept on players like Kaiser and Holmes, but they get the job done and are important cogs in the running game.
