Pili is the fattest and slowest guy on the field in his vids. He looks strong, but he'll never become a full-time starter at UW. He might make a better OG.
I was always a proponent of fat, powerful guards but they pull a lot so I've changed my opinion on those guys a bit.
I haven't watched Pili, but he seems like a decent space eater who will be massive and strong.
We are so spoiled with Vea because he's that type but he makes plays and doesn't just plug up space. Vea was maybe the most improved player on the team. His r-fr year I liked the idea of him, but wasn't crazy about his play. I even liked Jaylen Johnson better.
Same for Gaines. Sometimes he simply occupies two blockers. Other times he beats double teams. They are truly great DT's. Just posting about them gets me excited for next year.

At least I hope not...
