It's always good to get highly regarded guys in the state but I do have a few concerns about him:
1) Has he even recorded 10 sacks in his entire HS career? Dude has the athleticism but has been underwhelming on the field. 2) The next great EDGE player Pete K. coaches will be his first.
So how’s does the “all time” rankings work. Smalls is number 37 recruit of all time since 247 rankings have been out in 2000... but he is the 9th ranked recruit in the class of 2020 and there is only 1 other 2020 player ahead of him in the all time rankings.

On tape, he doesn't seem that explosive, but he does keep his eyes on the play and finishes very well. He also doesn't quit until the play is over, and will chase backs and receivers down from behind, so he's got the work ethic.
My guess is he'll get quicker off the blocks by necessity after a year or two of engaging with D1 level linemen who blast off the blocks quickly. Right now, he's not being challenged and pushed around much by anyone his size, so he can hold most guys off with extended arms and doesn't have to wrestle much. That won't happen at the next level.
Sav'ell is a smart kid. He's going to come to UW and be a hometown hero who is loved by everyone in the area for his whole life because he led our Dawgs to another national championship.
If it turns out different, don't tell me. I don't want to know.

"Another" title (lmfao). These days you need to play in title games to win championships. And to do that you need to win a playoff semi-final. The dwags might make it to the playoffs once every 20 years. A playoff appearance (but not a win) is Pete's ceiling at UW.
It's funny watching you morph into quook mode every season as it starts to sink in that your never-was program never is going to be, either. Your days came and went with no championship, because Ducks aren't football champions.
They're not going to be, either. Voted, or otherwise.

Great points. We need to pull his offer and find a try-hard white kid from Missoula to take his spot

Kid looks beefier and beefier. I think he will play on the inside
No. I remember that being a thought when he was 225+ as a sophomore, but he hasn’t gotten much bigger. 260 is probably his max weight. I would say 240-250 is most likely.

Didn’t he coach Demarcus Lawrence and Kikaha?
Not sure if he coached Andrew Hudson or not his senior year but he balled out that year. Littleton was pretty good as well.
But still. Thee issue has not been coaching, it’s been a talent issue.
