Have we discussed Dick Baird's comments re spring/players yet?
He was on with Softy re the QBs in the transfer portal. Said, among other things, that neither Sirmon nor Yankoff looked good enough in spring to be the backup. That's why Haener was getting reps.
Said our best-looking LB this spring has been Olefoshio. Said Sirmon and Tafisi will be good down the road, but that tells me they didn't look good enough right now. Matches what my eyes told me in the Spring Fling. Sirmon's not ready. I didn't focus as much on Tafisi. Think Wellington and Olefoshio start.
Thinks Lowe could really provide something at the Chico role. Seemed to like the OLBs, Tryon, Ngata and ZTF.
Asked to name the superstar talent that nobody was really talking about a la Vita Vea before he blew up, said Kyler Gordon. Said he looked great. On the DL he said he was really impressed by Taimani, good movement, has moved ahead of Tuli.

Mike Vorel said there was a huge dropoff from Eason/Haener to Sirmon/Yankoff.RealRhino said:I know he's got early onset and likes to drink a few cold ones, but I think he knows defensive football.

As much as we want the other two guys in there...if they aren't ready they aren't ready. -
Linebacker could be very scary if true. No injuries please. A walk on is the highlight of the spring at linebacker?

If he is outplaying the recruits everyone thought would be good, so be it. He has looked great in limited minutes. A strong walkon culture never hurts...it's a net positive all around. The coaches arent going to start a walkon for shits and giggles. That player earned the time.jecornel said:Linebacker could be very scary if true. No injuries please.

When it comes to individual player evaluations, yeah.FirePete said:U trust dick Baird?

I don't mind listening to Dick evaluate (recruiting specialist once upon a time)... I do wonder though what they were asking Olefoshio, Sirmon, Tafisi and crew to accomplish in spring. It wouldn't surprise me if the coaches were pushing Sirmon's and Tafisi's boundaries while just letting Olefoshio play so-to-speak.
Olefoshio's story is unique and clearly seems to have been under-recruited but a RS FR walk-on starting on our? defense just seems highly unlikely -
Dick Baird picked Washington to beat Oklahoma.
In 2008. -
Your eyes dont tell u much now do they? Haener getting reps because he's providing an equal amount of ability as Eason to this point. Any expert would tell you that. It's why Pup is telling you that. Okay, let's practice syllogism examples...I just layed one out;)RealRhino said:I know he's got early onset and likes to drink a few cold ones, but I think he knows defensive football.
