Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Lenius...(warning, poast contains football talk)
Something tells me this guy is going to be really good this year. He has the frame to dominate the shitty Pac 12 CBs, Pettis' good speed and great route running will draw a lot of attention, and Chico will get faster and play poor man's John Ross. Teams wont be able to play in nickel because our veteran line and rbs are going to be fucking legit.
Plus, I trust Petersen wouldn't have kept him in the program if the guy couldnt ball. He had great catches as a freshman but was inconsistent.
Socha seems to be dealing the roids as our players look like an actual football team now. If Lenius has been busting his ass in the weight room like he shouldve been - somewhere around 6'5" 220 lbs - I would not be shocked for him to come back and get 600+ yards and 6 tds or so next year.
Under Sark this guy would be playing at Montana State right now. Under Pete I think he is going to be a key player next year.

One thing you didn't mention was his blocking. He should be a terror blocking smaller, shitty CBs. I hope you're right about everything else. An Andrew Hudson style resurgence wouldn't surprise me at all.
That said, im not a huge fan of Fuller and Baccielia. They don't seem that fast, arent muscular at all, and are short. Maybe they improve, but I think Jones, Ahmed, and Bryant will be better the second they step on campus.
I just can't get the images out of my head of him not being able to separate, running away from the first down marker, being afraid of contact, and being a terrible blocker.
If he actually makes a step it would be a big, big deal for UW.
That said I'd still rather see Lenius break out. Its not critical bit would be better for the team than relying on new guys.
He's too big with great hands to not have an impact.
