Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
From your prolific stockings have you a) picked up on where UW is recruiting the following OL recruits (who I see as our most likely gets): Steven Jones, Victor Curne, MJ Ale? b) based on your own analysis do you see them ending up somewhere different for us than what they're being told (ala Trey Lowe)?
Priimarily interested in G or T but if you have a sense for which side that's great too. I feel like Ale's definitely a T but I've seen Jones and Curne both listed at either spot. My guess is we're recruiting Jones at G and Curne at T but not confident in that.

Curne could easily play right tackle, but he's better moving north-south and climbing to the second level than he is in a kick-slide. That combined with his strength and a mean streak means his ceiling as a guard is much higher than as a tackle.
Jones has size and strength and a pretty high floor. Like Ale though, I think he's probably a guard only. I also doubt he's coming here so I haven't watched him much.
Curne has the quickness to be a pulling guard, which I'm not sure Jones or Ale does. In this scheme, I think that would make Curne a left guard, and Ale and Jones right guards, but please correct me if I'm wrong.
That being said, they pull both guards, and sometimes the center or a tackle, so it's not a hugely important distinction anyway. Jones plays on the left side in high school while Ale plays on the right side and familiarity can also play a role.
I think Curne is a super LG prospect for us but he could play RT. Ale is a guard, could be RT if his feet improve. Jones is very likely a guard too.
The reason I want to take a shot on Beresford is because I can see him at RT.
Here's my view of things for the guys on our board:
1. Penis Swell: RT - we have no shot.
2. Victor Curne: G - I think we'll get him, which is amazing. I think he 'could' play RT, but he's a G.
3. Will Craig: G - Looks like a great RG for us, but we'll never get him.
4. MJ Ale: G - like Coker said, he's a G. Big and strong.
5. Steven Jones: G - he's basically a fat Ale.
6. B-Mello: T - whatever.
7. Beresford: T - he's a T and I like him.
I think we'll know more about Ale after his Senior year, he's still so raw its hard to project.
Ignoring the rest of your post, what makes you think Murray is ready to commit? I've heard nothing about himLEAVE.
