I will never get over thinking he was some tower of a MLB coming out of HS, allegedly "6'4", gets on campus and is skinny and 6ft flat, in shoes, on a good dayNEsnake12 said:
Every time they’d update roster weights for spring and fall camp, I’d be perpetually disappointed that he was still skinny as shitinsinceredawg said:Ariel Ngata 2.0

Fast, athletic, tall, and long. I believe he is being recruited to play OLB. He will need to gain about 30-45 lbs., but once he does he should be an excellent pass rusher and still have the speed and athleticism to cover TEs.DoogerMcFarland said:For those of us that don't know how to analyze film, what's the scouting report?
I'm not upset about the signing... but these shouldn't be the guys we're excited about. -
He’s got a lot of tools to work with provided that he is able to 1) put the weight in the weight room
that’s needed and 2) develops positionally on the practice field
He’s probably a RS year and a frosh year buried on the depth type of developmental prospect
It wouldn’t shock me if he turns out to be a really good player … this is what programs like TCU and other programs that I’d say are in the Top 20-40 range that have recruiting challenges (in TCUs case always fighting uphill in-state, vs Oklahoma, vs SEC for truly elite players)
The big question is whether Washington should be expecting to do better from a recruiting standpoint
This is a commit that over indexes on the developmental scale and seems to be the desired sweet spot for recruiting under Jimmy. He’s very clearly surrounded himself with coaches that specialize in coaching and development and in the process has largely excluded staff that specialize in recruiting
There’s obviously many ways to be successful so LIPO
It’s also important to note that with UW’s youth on the roster that there’s more of a buffer in place to play the development game -

All you haters saying we only had to beat out BC and OSU... this young man also had offers from Michigan and Iowa State (yeah the same Iowa State that thumped Oregon in a bowl).
Other P5 offers: Arizona, Boston College, Colorado, Iowa State, Kansas State, Michigan, Oregon State, Vanderbilt
G5 offers: Air Force, Boise State, San Diego State

If they didn't have him for an official visit it means they didn't want him.

You gone and triggered Ern now. What is the reason for even saying this? The fuck is wrong with you? This is a dude we targeted, had offers from good programs, has a huge athletic ceiling, turned heads in camps as a WR, comes from a huge recruiting hotbed out of state, is known as The Claw, has the middle name "Showtime", and he chose to be a DAWG because he's ready to be developed. Since you're clearly disappointed and blinded by the 3* behind his name, you should jerk yourself off by knowing that he's an easy 4* with 25 more pounds on him. That's what Socha, red meat, whole milk, and a few trips around the sun are for. Let's not forget that stars are subjective and hardly based on long-term potential. Stars are largely a function of what scouts see from the stands/clips, when they see them, how often they see them, immediate playing potential, the team surrounding a player, the team they're playing against, and if the scout is constipated or not. I'll take a 3* with huge upside over maxed out 4* dude every time. The Claw is not playing for several years. We don't NEED him to be playing for several years. I always get excited about these long-term upside investments (Trice, Heims, Spears, Wyrsch, etc). Recruiting upside is far more important to me than anything. Of course Ariel Ngata naturally gets thrown out immediately as a cherry-picked example of a skinny dude who didn't develop. Fuck that shit. No shit, Sherlocks, he may not develop. He could get killed walking his doggie. That goes for everyone. I'll take The Claw's high ceiling every day and twice on Saturdays. The best thing after the 5* and very high 4* guys are dudes with the potential to be beasts. I don't care if they are 1* dudes. Get enough upside into your program and the cream shall rise to the top. Let's judge the food after it comes out of the oven as a RS sophomore or junior. Fucking christ, it's not hard.BroadcastingDawg said:

Lance, I'm excited about your commitment. Go fuck up that weight room for a few years and let's do this shit. Woofdah. -
Huskies landing a commitment from anyone with “showtime” as their Twitter handle is a win in my opinion.

Dude, who the fuck are you to be telling what they can think? Disagreeing is fine, but blasting people is bullshit. If your dick was longer than 3 inches I would tell you to go fuck yourself. Its clear you have a hard on for this high school kid, maybe you should talk about that.CallMeBigErn said:
