Poor kid, terrible timming to get any attention on it.
-
I know nothing about this kid and haven't watched any film but I hope he becomes a Husky legend, a first round draft pick, and an NFL hall of famer while using all his earnings to support troubled youth.

I hope he reserves enough of his earnings to support himself but otherwise this sounds pretty good.CallMeBigErn said:I know nothing about this kid and haven't watched any film but I hope he becomes a Husky legend, a first round draft pick, and an NFL hall of famer while using all his earnings to support troubled youth.

"I'd say Utah, Washington and Cal have all been standing out to me because of how hard they're recruiting me," said Cardwell.
Washington has been a mainstay in his recruitment.
"Coach KB (Keith Bhonapha), I like him a lot and we've been talking for a long time," said Cardwell. "He always understands my questions. When I ask what Seattle is like, since it's different from Seattle, he's always talking about how life is different up there."
Cardwell said he's also hoping to get up to USC in the spring and knows he'll for sure visit the Pacific Northwest.
"I plan on taking an unofficial visit to Washington soon," said Cardwell. -

Is that a soccer goal?

I like him. Highlights are not amazing but good. He doesnt have elite speed or quickness, but has some of both. He gets a lot of tough yards with a stiff arm, spins, and by running over smaller tacklers. Also some good receiving skills.

I dont evaluate hips. There are enough closet homos around here more qualified to do that.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:

Yeah kind of, right? I think this guy is bigger and not as agile as Gaskin.FKA_Mousecop said:

Some people hate me for this, but running for only 873 yards doesn’t excite me. Seems like a solid prospect, but nothing special.chuck said:I like him. Highlights are not amazing but good.

Dick Newton was underwhelming in high school but will likely be good at UW. It’s just easier to feel better about guys that completely dominate. -

I'm still not sure about Newton. Runs straight up and seems like he'll be hurt more often that with that style.RoadDawg55 said:

I think Newton might be really good, but he hasn't shown that much yet. It seems most here disagree with me on that though.haie said:

Cardwell is better than Newton IMO. Better burst. I think Cardwell is a very good back.

Runs straight up? Dude was laying the boom as the ballcarrier. He was the only player that showed any fight and heart in the awful Stanford game. Then he got hurt. He did have some underwhelming games and needs to break some longer runs. At times he seeks out contact too much.haie said:

I could see him not being much better than he’s shown. I don’t think that will happen and I think he will continue to improve, but we’ll see. Worst case scenario, he’s absolutely money in short yardage situations. He hits the hole hard and pushes the pile forward which leads to him being able to get the crucial yard or two when we really need it. -
Didn't he get rolled up on in a pile? It's not like he blew out his shoulder ramming it into dudes faces. What happened to him could have happened to anyone. I think he is a good back. Maybe more of a complimentary piece much like Lavon Coleman. Not a diverse enough portfolio to run the show but against certain teams his style will be needed for the running game to work.

150. Just looking at stats it doesn’t look like an explosive offense. QB threw for a little over 2000 yardsTequilla said:

Gotta remember he was a freshman. Has a great body type and don’t think he’s as slow as some think.theknowledge said:Didn't he get rolled up on in a pile?

BTP was harping on his YPC, like in the Hawaii game where he had 8 carries for 28 yards. Three of those carries were one yard TD’s. 5 for 25 on traditional carries isn’t bad.
I actually agree that Cam Davis looks like a big time back. Between him, Newton, and McGrew we should have a good running attack. I also think Lake will commit to the run more than Petersen as well.
Just lose or lessen the sink and dunk. We don’t run the air raid so those plays are garbage for us. Run, play action, and use the deep threats we will have in Puka, Rome, and McMillan.
I think Sawyer will be the reliable third down target and he will be very good at breaking CB and safeties tackles and take 7 yard passes and turn them into 15-20 yard gains. The fact he is our third best WR commit is amazing. After Puka, he’s the best one we have had in years. I think he’s better than Spiker, Osborne, Jones, etc. Kid is a tough football player.
If it wasn’t for our QB’s and Donovan, I would be excited about our offense. The way to win the in the PAC 12 is sheer physicality. The teams are soft and can’t handle getting crushed for four quarters and having to fill lanes and tackle. They might be able to for part of the game but they will wear down. -
Spot on Roadie. I've tried to temper the Newton praise on here and I think people took it wrong. I love what he brings to committee approach. In his role YPC means just little more than jack shit. His job is to pound it into the endzone and move the chains on 3rd and short, occasionally trucking a LB or safety and busting out for 20-30 yards.RoadDawg55 said:

I'm excited to see Davis. He is feature back material but won't have to be this year because McGrew is a good backup and Newton will take the part of the load that he excels at. -
YPC can be a misleading stat. Dwayne Washington’s was good because he could break long runs but he was unreliable most of the time.
Newton is the big back that Ballz craved. He’s good and has value right now as he is. If he improves he could be all conference good. Right now, he’s a young player that flashed and is easy to root for because of his toughness and running style.
It’s unbelievable the whole team didn’t wake up in the Stanford game after he got in. The whole team should have been fired up because of his play and passion.
Tl, dr: Dude runs hard. He was money in short yardage. He has room to grow. LIPO. He’s very likely going to end up a hell of a player. -

Cardwell was already a well thought of prospect but he made a big jump in to the 247. He went from a three-star prospect to a four-star and rated at No. 174 in the new 247Sports Rankings. He's also No. 266 in the 247Sports Composite, No. 17 overall in the state and the No. 14 RB nationally by both 247Sports and the Composite.
Cardwell was named the Under Armour Combine MVP two weeks ago after a fantastic showing. He showed off size, quickness and hands and is even better with the pads on. -
Sounds like Oregon is going to be hitting the jackpot once again after UW quitting.
We don't need the top RB in the west anyways. We are full. -
We need those 10 open scholarships to hand out to walk ons

Any word on his sister??

The last time I was told on here that a recruit or transfer is going to Oregon he wound up realizing home is where the heart is, and that’s deep in the heart of Texas at Baylor.bananasnblondes said:Sounds like Oregon is going to be hitting the jackpot once again after UW quitting.

Oregon’s freshman running back broke his leg, so it would be nice to have one with all the limbs.
