    It's reassuring that we're finally getting to the point where our OL can actually sit for 3 years before they're expected to play.

    The quick reaction is to think about a guy like Crane and say he's a bust because we haven't seen much of him yet. In reality, he's been playing behind upper-classmen (Criste, Tanigawa, Charles, Tafunga), which is supposed to happen.

    Ideally, you want your OL careers to go like this:
    Freshman - RS
    RS Frosh - ride bench, special teams, play when up by 40
    RS Soph - backup for starters, start if there are injuries
    RS Jr - start
    RS Sr - Start

    The only position where we're not there is Right tackle, which speaks to Sark's absolute incompetence in bringing in Tackle prospects. Ironically, it's also the position that looks most promising down the road (McGary, Adams)

    Those guys aren't very good. Crane does have time, but if Crane gets passed by Sosobee and/or Turner, he's a bust.
    I agree that if younger guys pass him up, he's a bust, but I don't agree that he would have passed up Charles and Tanigawa if he wasn't a bust

    You don't watch a lot of Husky football do you?

    Any decent player would've passed up anyone on our line last year.

    The fact that some of our players massively improved under Pete last year gives me hope, but the fact that he's basically never been mentioned after he got here gives me reality.

    Since you obviously do watch a lot of football, please give examples of RS-frosh linemen starting over uninjured seniors with 3 years of starting experience.

    Even though you said please, the answer is no.
