    So, there's a kid on the East Side that Huff has gotten interested in. From what I understand, last year was his first year playing football.

    He's 6'6, 270 and not at all fat. Probably would play close to 315 in college. His coach thinks he has a high upside, but is pretty raw right now.

    I'm not sure we'll offer, but any time we get interested in local kids, I think it's noteworthy.

    Here's his hudl: https://www.hudl.com/video/3/6018420/59ac20bb9a91a209e4e8d230

    We should hold out for another Nick Harris.

    Using your example, we are likely going to get a kid like Mele (or better) EVERY YEAR going forward with this staff

    Why would you trade a POSSIBLE Mele today that you are going to gray shirt and HOPE he becomes that player versus just getting that player next year?

    If we had more s holarships to offer I’d be all for it. If we kicked kids to the curb I’d be all for it. We don’t really do that. So why take projects if you don’t need to?

    Last year as an example we'll get kids like Mele, but we have yet to get 3 or 4 a class and no guarantees we will going forward. Curne is good, but he's the opposite in that I think he'll contribute relatively early but I don't know if his ceiling is as high. MJ Ale is a project with a high ceiling who is at least 3 years out (but there was no chance we could get him as a grayshirt). And the year before was brutal.

    This year we got Luciano I'm guessing in part to back-fill numbers and he looks good (when he's not getting flagged for holding) but I don't think his ceiling is super high. We should be able to get 2 additional top guys along with Kalepo (one reason I'm guessing why we didn't go after Beresford), but I have no clue what the following year has beyond Hatchett and Murao. And the more important question is how a 20 year old redshirt freshman project like Utschinski would compare to a 18 year old true freshman 2020 4* that we might get.

    The good thing is projects like that you have summer camps and their entire Sr. year to evaluate before you decide, but I do think age/physical development is much more important on the OL especially than just high school skill and competition.

    You think he has a lower floor than Ale and Mele?

    This triggers my mid 2000's horrors of getting beat by OSU with Washington players who did not even get a sniff from UW. It's no wonder Sark just started offering guys in state who had beav offers, letting Mike Riley do all the work of scouting.

    Eklund posted an article about him this morning. No UW mention yet but this would explain where that Joe Ngata spot might go lol
