Fuck yeah

[JOSEYWALES66 1801]

Awesome.  Good chance he starts at guard and might be the backup center top. 

[Michael Knight 12977]

cool

[thepop 4409]

This is the guy we wanted right? New starter at guard?

[billfromlaketravis 11458]

Insert Chris Nelson belly rub. 

Welcome to the Texas Family Parker! Please bring your little brother with you.

Yup. Probably the first or second best OL on the GT market along with Jackson (who went from Rutgers to tOSU). 

First-team All-ACC last year.

Has to be better than Vahe.

Hot damn! This is big time! Hand has been absolutely killing it on the trail.

Instant OL starter. Much needed. Today is a good day. 

[lemonandaturd 4285]

BOOM MOTHERFUCKER!!!!

[Elmer_Fudd 22213]

Should be an intense battle for the other Guard spot between Angilau, Okafot, and Imade.  Maybe Kerstetter??

Nice!!! With him going to GT, we know we're getting Braun and brains.

As our current roster stands, I think the ideal line is Cosmi-Braun-Shack-Okafor-Kerstetter. If Angilau's development jumps ahead of schedule, then put him in at RG.  I think Okafor can be an absolute beast if he gets to play his natural position at G. He graded out really well in run blocking the year he played a lot, and he has good feet and height/reach for a G. He just didn't have the feet to block speed edge rushers when placed at OT.

The upside is that 3/5 of our starting OL next year project to be above-average run blockers. We struggled to finish games and have a consistent offense because we couldn't get push on the OL unless we had a real numbers advantage (i.e., Sam running give us an extra blocker). If we can get consistent push with our OL, it will go a long way in helping us control the clock, put games away, and dominating physically inferior opponents so we don't lose to teams we're more talented than.

I love his forward lean in that picture, reminds me of myself only better. Hook 'em Mr. Braun, thanks for choosing us and welcome to the 40!

Exactly lol great job Hand.

Welcone to the 40 Braun.

[Bigbend1812 12915]

Niiiice

[billfromlaketravis 11458]

The redshirt questions-responses from Braun should be interesting.

I like him already.

[Machinator 32099]

 

[Hornius Emeritus 12457]

May well end up as the most important 2019 recruit that we get.

Hook 'em, Parker!

[BurntOrangeCrush 1011]

Welcome to the 40! Hook 'em Parker!

I don’t think he’s redshirting whatsoever. He’s starting at guard. 

[Leanderman 2275]

Perfect timing on a wet windy March day to cheer me up.

Interesting major for a Georgia Tech grad, Literature, Media and Communication. https://ramblinwreck.com/roster/parker-braun/

This will be a much needed addition to the line.  Pieces falling together nicely.

[TtomTerrific 200]

very, very good news 

[Scholz 11942]

Noice. Welcome, Parker. Hook’em!

[Auto Driller 2504]

Absolutely huge. Awesome get at a major position of need.

[fellside 1113]

I don't know about specific positions, but having four guys (Cosmi, Braun, Shackelford, Kerstetter) with significant starting experience is a nice luxury given what we lost.  Add in Okafor, Angilau, Ghirmai, Jones, Moore and Johnson, and we should have some nice competition.

Texas sweeps # 1 LSU in baseball and we get a commitment from an experienced first team All-ACC guard.  Damn, I need a beer.

With George, Lindberg, and Joshua, I question whether we have room for Tyler.

Awesome!
