Conor O'Neal

Looks like the Badgers picked up another verbal commitment for the 2009 recruiting class, defensive tackle Conor O'Neal. Hilarious!

Why? asks the casual observer. Because roughly three months ago UW got a commitment from a prep linebacker named Conor O'Neill. And they're both from Florida. Crazy, no? It shouldn't be too hard to tell them apart in person, though: O'Neal is a 300-pound black dude, and O'Neill is a 200-pound white guy.

Conor O'Neal hails from Lithia, Fla., which makes him the third Florida native to commit this year. Scout has him as a two-star kid, 77th-best defensive tackle in the country. He chose us over Boston College, Michigan State, and North Carolina State, good company.

That makes seven defensive linemen in this year's recruiting class. I like the emphasis, hopefully half of them will turn into contributors. And hopefully in a few years our two Conor O'Neals/O'Neills will be giving Matt LePay fits.

Surprisingly after the injuries over the last few years our roster now looks ok on the defensive line, but is dangerously thin on the offensive line (especially guard). We also need outside linebackers and wide receivers (for 2011 when almost all of our current WRs are gone).
