We're just debating which garbage men are going to be feeding the fire.

Here's my assessment of what's coming back:
"Frankenstein's Monster" McGary, T — This kid looks like an after picture from a 40 year boxing career with a cowboy hat photoshopped on to him. He'll probably be good.
Dexter "Almost Reggie Cleveland All-Star" Charles, G/T — Overhyped and horrible, Charles has always been bad and the idea of having his uncle "Fudd" play "Welcome to the Jungle" as our entrance song is an equally awful idea as him being the 'leader' of our group next year. Soft, shitty. I wish I could sell his fucking couch for him. SELL YOUR COUCH, DEX!!!
Siosifafifa Tufunguna, G/C — He's round and bad. Has no talent. Never will be any good. Basically the shitty Colin Tanigawa. Allow yourself a second to let that seep in. The shitty Colin Tanigawa.
Dane Crane, C — I will admit that I liked his HS film and thought he would be good. Maybe he will be. I mean, beating out the center-by-committee grouping of Panda Tanigawa and former All Pac-12 HM powerhouse Mike Christ is obviously a tough task. I do like that his name rhymes.
Boomer Boomer, G — My policy is that, until proven otherwise, all Petersen recruits are basically Sidney Jones MMXIV and all Sark recruits are basically Erik Kohler. Jones would make a better lineman than Kohler ever did.
Jake "Mein" Eldrenkampf, T — I liked him coming out of HS, I guess. From his performance so far it looks like he should've stayed there.
Shelton Coleman, T — He was god fucking awful. 'Pencil-armed', 'directionless' and 'worthless' are the first three adjectives that come to mind when I think of his play this year. Maybe he'll get better, but I doubt it.
It wouldn't surprise me to see Kirkland and Fuavai do a little couch market research this off-season. The rest of everyone is either a freshman or sucks so much shit I forgot them. -
In the Donald Jones thread on the recruiting board, we talked about how UW's teams haven't passed the look test for awhile. The good news is McGary, Sosobee, and Adams all look like the big, mean dudes from South Kitsap UW had in the 90's. I don't know if that means they are any good, but I like the new OL recruits better than Sark's.
Another positive is that there is thought put behind the projects Petersen offers. Sark took bums like Taylor Hindy because he needed another OL. Petersen took a 6'7" 270 pound basketball player in Burleson. Burleson may suck, but I like the idea of him much more than Hindy. There seems to be actual thought behind it. -

I think the OL recruiting is one of the things that has me most excited for the future...
Road mentioned McGary (who looks like how you would create an OT in a lab), Sosobee, Adams and Burleson. But then you throw in guys like Henry Roberts and Jared Hilbers, those are some guys that will pass the eye test for you on the lines. It's all about development for the OL, but the starting point for the coaches seems really good. And I know they also apparently really like John Turner. The only guy on the line that they have brought in that I don't get is Matt James, mostly because I don't think he has been able to put on any weight.
The thing about Burleson that does concern me is that he has a Kevin King neck. NOT GOOD!!!11

I just want an average OL next year ... not asking for much.
In fact, if you give me average play across all positional groups next year ... that'd be a massive improvement over this year. -

All my chips are in behind Trey Adams. I fucking love him. My favorite OL recruit from our state since Garnett. DeCastro was similar. The kid is a motherfucking beast. I just hope we can RS him next year.

Still listed as a DL on the official website, fwiw.
