    This year's Sam Peacock. The question is, why are we taking this kid's commitment in April instead of December?

    Because the OL crop is a lot less deep this year. And Oregon spanked us for the top 2 guys

    They obviously think he’s going to blow up and want to beat the rush.
    Ditto. To me this screams Gaard. Huff saw a kid who hasn’t played the camp circuit and jumped all over it before anyone else could. Then as Gaard got offers from all the PAC and the Big 12 and some SEC, he told his coaches to not even tell him because he didn’t care.
    Obligatory.

    Kidding aside the last tim Huff offered and took someone no one heard of it was Gaard. I'll LIPO.

    Guard was recruited for months prior to his offer & commitment, he made it to campus, and showed out in a camp.

    Wyrsch...




    And I ain’t buying he’s 6’7
    Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but anyone else find it discouraging the only reason we found this guy is cuz he tweeted his tape at our staff (along with a bunch of others if you look at his tweet history)?

    It’d be one thing if we sought him out but seems like we just said hey this guy looks okay let’s give him a call and Bam! Offer and commit.

    Me too. An almost --but not quite -- Gainseyesque emptiness came over me when he LEFT

    At the end of the day the drop between this kid and Someone like Persi in the 2020 class isn’t that vast.

    He went through a massive growth spurt and is still getting his legs. His technique is atrocious but he's clearly athletic, a guy after a redshirt year you can dream on. As long as the HS's play this fall, the TBS's will go gaga for his senior tape.

    I never trust the coaches but I trust Huff. Maybe the most dynamic recruiter on staff, Huff signed arguably the two best OL out west last year (Murano and Rosengarten) plus Hatchett and Gaard. Taking a commitment from an unknown this early signals Huff has uncovered a gem.

    The three best OL --McGary, Harris, and Kirkland-- the program has signed and developed were TBS rejects or, in McGary's case, a raw converted DL. So there's that, too.

    I would argue Adams would top that list before injury, which isn't his fault, but totally agree in every other sense.

    His head coach is a former NFL safety...I thought he might have a connection to Jimmy but it looks like the only link to UW coaches/alumni from his playing days would have been Trufant and I doubt that gave us much of a heads up/in.

    I went to high school with a kid that didn’t play until his senior but as soon as pac 12 coaches saw his senior film while scouting other underclassmen players they all shit their pants and wanted to talk to him. Point is he was like 6-7 255 but by the way he moved they all projected as a potential high end tackle but he had already signed with a lower division school. He went on to make millions in the nfl. I know csb.

    I don’t mind athletic reaches on the OL or buck position as long as they are not all reaches as it is a very specific rare body type for those spots.

    That being said since this is uw i am sure that he will suck and Ballz will love his film and proclaim James atoe 2.0

    He’s totally new to the sport and his film shows that but he’s got all the physical tools you look for in a future NFL offensive tackle and that’s all that matters when recruiting lineman. He looks like he’s got that Kaleb McGary freakish body in which he’s both huge and lean at the same time. Checkout his twitter, his dad is massive and strong as fuck and he’s raising his boys to be the same way. We won’t have to worry about him being some soft pussy who doesn’t lift and work hard. Solid pickup with high upside.

    Have we ever gotten a more under the radar commitment before? I’ve literally never heard of this kid before and didn’t even know he had an offer from UW until the day he committed and everybody is like “who the fuq is that guy?”. UW fucks shit up with hidden gem recruits. Wyrsch will probably end up a 1st or 2nd-round draft pick to fulfill the typical 3-star with no Power-5 offers to college superstar story line everybody loves. He’s the kind of guy a program like Iowa identifies, develops, and has success with.

    I agree with everything besides aspiring to be like Iowa.

    That being said, it's totally fine to take a few of these guys. Just don't bank on em. Like Iowa.
