Shout out to @roaddawg55 for thinking we still had room for one more LB. I think this basically finishes LB'ers now though, you agree?

Sounds like a Jake Locker...but on defense.
Who knew? -

Are you saying he has high football IQ? Deceptive speed? An animal in the film room?GrundleStiltzkin said:I think there's something to be said for kids with QB experience playing defense. A better understanding of the game.
Seriously, definitely an OKG: “In my life, where I’ve made some of my biggest strides is when I’ve gotten out of my comfort zone,” Bartlett told the Casper Star-Tribune. “Obviously, Seattle is a little bit different than Cheyenne, Wyoming. I just felt like that would really help me grow as a person. It felt like the right choice.” -

Recruiting kids out of Wyoming sounds like something you'd do if you were in the Mountain West ...

In all seriousness, this is a HUGE get IMO.
This is a kid when you watch the film you just see a player ... forget all the other BS about how great hips are, how fast they are, etc.
One thing that Charles and Donald have been stressing has been the importance for Washington to get back to recruiting football players and not so much being enamored by the stars or whether or not the player is some kind of track standout. Some of that might be important with some of the skill positions, but it's really not. Football at the highest level is highly technical, highly nuanced, and a lot about want to than it is about physical gifts. It's when you combine all the other stuff with physical gifts that you get the freak kind of players.
Getting a kid like this also speaks VOLUMES about the message that Petersen is sending and that the kids are buying the messaging. A kid like Bartlett have the kind of attributes that you find littered up and down the roster of high caliber teams. -
Another white kid and this one is from Wyoming! Christ... Where's the edge? We need that trying to strangle a coach edge.

I don't know. Not enough stars between him and Chief Jusstis Warren. Sark probably would've never taken such Plan-B guys. bleh bleh bleh...Tequilla said:In all seriousness, this is a HUGE get IMO.

Enough bullshit. This class of LBs is outstanding. Gotta get Potoae, but this class of LBs is just outstanding. Guys that get to the ball in a hurry and stop drives. Travis Feeney will have plenty of guys to mentor next year. -
And the added benefit to me of having a deep LB class is that you tend to get great special teams play as a result.

100% agree with you on the bolded part. Since they have gotten here they have really done well in recruiting. But the most important is that the message they came in here with in recruiting is working wonderfully. They aren't going to have to drastically change their message, it is working and they nailed it right away.Tequilla said:In all seriousness, this is a HUGE get IMO.
