Ben Roberts, 2022 4* DT, (East HS), UT (probably oreGONE)

ROOFDOOGINS · April 2021

Interesting tidbit from the doogman recruiting blog. Eklund thinks we would be in a really good spot if we offered.

I Eklund speak "in a really good spot" = "doing really well with" = "I have no clue"

Baseman · April 2021

Remember when we'd be in really good shape with 4 and 5 stars if we offered?

Ben Roberts?

Is he some cross between Ben Hines and Henry Roberts?

Thankfuly not what I expected Ben Roberts from Utah to look like.

East is our minor league defensive tackle farm system.

Lolohea (2017) and Tunuufi (2021) are the only 3*s we've gotten from East.

Taki?

Taki has been average at best. I’ve honestly been disappointed.

Bandes looked terrible last year too. Utah pushed him back nearly 20 yards on a play I watched.

Malloe had some good years developing the DT’s, but despite having all four star players at DT, we have gotten much worse the past two years inside. That’s to be expected after Vea and Gaines, and not having Levi last year hurt, but the DL has to get better.

Taki was a 4* out of East

Be curious what Rip Rowan brings to DT now that he's their coach.

I never saw Brandes. I saw Taki making plays though. He's explosive as fuck. He's coming along. He was never going to be Vea or even Gaines, but he's somewhere in between and can be really good. Tuli and Tuitele are going to be the best two DL this season, I think. Taki is a good rotational player.

I don’t really remember Taki doing much. Tuli flashed a little his R-FR season. Taki has been jag.

I had forgotten Malloe was no longer the DL coach until you mentioned Rowan.
