    But how was Malloe overrated?

    I remember Dennis saying Malloe had the greatest dline class in UW history in 2018.

    Saama Paama, Tuitele, Bandes, and Ngalu. Not one legitimately good player from the bunch. Tuitele is the only one that might even end up being an average PAC 12 starter. This was the leveling up bullshit that was always dumb.

    It’s hard to top a four man rotation of Vea, Gaines, Jaylen Johnson, and Qualls/Levi.
    I hope maybe Bandes can flip a switch because I don't think he's a pussy. Tuitele has gotten enough run, I'm not sure about him. Maybe a non GA coach improves them enough.

    Yeah I guess he gets credit for Levi.

    that was weird the Saama decided to just quit college football. There was a time I thought he was going to be vea 2.0. I know, stupid doog thing to think. But damn... to just quit before even getting started.
    Bandes looks bad. Ngalu never plays. Voi is good and Peihopa looks like he could be good. I hope we portal in another though.

    He had like one good play this year. A sack in the backfield but can’t remember against whom…maybe cal? Yeah that’s proof we won’t miss him

    I thought it was Oregon state. But yeah, the D kine didn’t do anything. Not gonna shed any tears over this.


    The others guys didn't do much either

    If he had been a mid-low ranked 3 star guy, people would hate him. Because he was a big recruiting win we pretend he was better than he actually was. I imagine he ends up somewhere like San Jose State

    never understood why he was a four star DT, when he only played oline senior year in high school (and wasn't that good at oline)

    Taimani wasn’t great but when you compare him against other defensive tackles in the conference he was definitely on par with what the majority of the schools would roll out and in some cases better. Yes the conference sucks.

    @RoadDawg55 had it best though. Change the scheme.

    True freshman tufuuni flashed more this year than taimani ever did

    Flush the quitters, they couldn’t even get it together against Montana juvenile detention center.

    I was going to say something like this. All of our recent studs on the D Line flashed right away. Gaines was a fucking unit as a true freshman. I don't recal Vea's Freshman/1st season but he was already one of the best linemen in the Pac his Sophmore year. Zion balled out early on etc. All of these guys were like fringe "top 500" or whatever the fuck that means in recruiting.

    The only example I can remember of a decent DL/OLB recruit who was recruited high that started slow and got really good by his Junior/Sr year was JoJo Mathis.
