My notes:
Really focused on the Petersen recruits today (True sophomores, RS freshmen and Tremue freshmen)
Browning has highest ceiling of the QBs, it's not really close. He made some terrific throws today, no picks for him either. One TD was about a 25 yard throw to back pylon and he fired it in on a line right over the db's head and into the arms of the WR, receiver barely had to lift his arm. Just beautiful.
Browning is a really interesting QB, really advanced in small details. Does a great job feeling the pocket, keeps his eyes downfield well and really understands safe throws. I have a feeling he'll be the type of QB that goes: 5 yard completion, RB run, 8 yard completion, 6 yard completion, 8 yard completion, RB run, 25 yard completion. He kinda lulls the defense and takes a shot.
Myles Gaskin is Bishop Sankey 2.0, I honestly think he is already the best natural RB on the team.
Petersen spent half the scrimmage on ST. I know it's against scout team, but I think our return game now, and especially in the future will be dynamic with the guys they have.
Mcgary, Adams, Burleson, Hilbers, Roberts, Sossebee... Really hard not to doog about the future of the OL.
Defense will be better as a unit this year. I think they're underrated.
Pounds, McClatcher, Renfro all play this year at WR.
I think the coaches love #MyTevis, he was on the backup punt protect team and he was the main protector, that is a ton of trust in a true freshmen to make the proper calls. He also happens to be good at football.
Freshmen that are not red shirting, imo: Gaskin, Joyner, Renfro, Tevis, McClatcher, Pounds, Adams, Browning. I think they might be able to redshirt Potoa'e (depth in front of him is pretty solid, he looks terrific though).
McClatcher will be a hardcore Husky favorite by the time the year is over. Unless he sucks. But he won't.
@Dennis_DeYoung will have to eat his words on My boi, Quinten Pounds.
Wouldn't worry about kicking game at this point, they had Three snappers getting reps today, including our own #DisslyDawg.
Greg Gaines had a good day, I really like our front and the depth they have. Lots of good talent.
I think Mickens was sick today, he came out late and didn't have his usual overly enthusiastic energy during pregame.
String cut his dreads and Adams mullet is just glorious.
The season is over, but if this team improves as the year goes on I'll be very happy. There are some ballers in Petermans first two classes.
With that said, I think we win the north by the 2017 season. I think we have the QB in line and everything else is coming into shape nicely too.

But KJV has stated over and over the Wild Swede is clearly the right choice at QB. I can't imagine he's wrong.
wait until Peterman gets his guys in there, two years from now will be special

Here is a short list of true Freshman Qb's that were successful by statistical analysis. I'm almost certain all of these schools had better options at Qb than Linquist and Magna
Jeffrey Godfrey UCF 2010
Terrelle Pryor Ohio St 2008
Matt Barkley USC 2009
Kevin Kolb Houston 2003
Robert Griffin Baylor 2008
Tyrod Taylor Virginia Tech 2007
Nate Davis Ball St 2006
Spencer Keith Kent St 2009
I'm particularly interested in Damian Turpin, Corey Fuvai and Trevor Walker
Nice write up!
Give some gaskin

I don't think Browning was great, but compared to last year, the little things he does well are such a huge upgrade, like hitting a RB out on a swing in stride, on time, so a 1 yard pass can go for 4 or 5, and he does seem confident. I could see guys respecting him, in spite of his age.
One play when he was running the 3rd string dreck, a WR lined up like 3 yards offside. I'm 100% sure Miley last year just snaps it, but the Snake (see) yells to the kid, backs him up, and runs the play.
As a beaten dawg for so many years, it just feels good not to be hit in the face.
This team is going to be awfully young. Cooper should just give up his schollie and make a killing buying beer for everyone else.
1) how much do the young players develop 1st half of year to 2nd half
2) how FS is Babushka and if he is as FS as many here fear, can Pete make the right call this offseason
There's far more talent on this roster than many give credit for ... The 2015 class will turn out to be the class that officially turns this program around
Lindquist is better but still not there. Very good runner, physical, good arm, and better accuracy but there was a play where he rolled to his left and bought a little time...he saw Perkins out kinda in the flat as a safety valve but true to Lindquist form, he threw it a little too hard for the relatively short distance between them and the ball bounced off of Perkins' hands (it was a little high but still catchable). My gut instinct was that in was Lindys' fault because the D had let Perkins go as the play went on and no defender was really around him so why throw it so hard?
I focused a lot on the OL, specifically on the OTs, and was pleasantly surprised. Shelton and James looked pretty good, not too much bend at the waist, and I don't recall either getting abused by Feeney, Mathis, or anyone else (though someone crushed Matt James on the interception reception return on the ball Mickens bounced into the air).
Blitz pick-ups seemed to go pretty well...I don't recall the DL stunting much but when the D did blitz, the OL and backs didn't let anyone run free (from what I saw).
Adams and McGary definitely look the part but IMHO, both need more time. I think Jaylen Johnson beat Adams on a play....JJ looks like he'll be pretty good in time.
I wasn't that impressed with the DL. I wasn't necessarily focusing on them but didn't really notice guys like Qualls, Mathis, and Tupou didn't stand out to me much. JJ and Dissly each made a play or two (maybe Mathis did as well).
Van Winkle looked a little shaky in FGs.
Guys stood out to me:
-Gaskin (the comparison to Sankey is a pretty good one)
-McClatcher (very nice speed and acceleration)
-Gardenhire (can't remember the 3 specific plays but remember thinking damn, he looks like a great bookend to Sidney Mutherfuckin' Jones).
-Renfro (despite a false start and a drop early in the practice, he bounced back with some good plays. Definitely looks the part at about 6'1" to 6'1 1/2" and at least 200 lbs, great for a true frosh).
-Pettis simply looks bigger and stronger. At first I didn't recognize him, he just looks like a different guy after Socha got his hands on him.
-Wooching. Feeney is a great fit for the Buck position due to his great length and it is nice to see Wooching show he can possibly spell Feeney or compliment him on some downs. I noticed Wooching make a play and then a few more plays were made and I thought, is that Wooching again?
-Quinten Pounds impressed me on a few plays. He's on the slight side but very quick. Wouldn't be surprised if he plays this year.
-Michael Neal already looks different than when he committed. He will undoubtedly redshirt but looks bigger, especially in his legs.
-If anyone wants to know about some formations I noticed, PM me. I don't think we're supposed to talk about specific X's and O's here but I saw a few things I liked (mostly on the O side of the ball).
TL;DR version : Huskies should at least beat the spread at BSU and there is a noticeable difference between Sloppy Steve's 2011-2013 recruits and CP's 2014-2015 recruits in terms of depth and overall talent.
