Honestly I don’t blame them for passing on botelhosonics1993 said:
Jordan Botelho who cut off contact a few months back, Princely Umanmielen who Malloe is still working on, Van Fillinger who flipped to Utah and Ja'Qurious Conley who stayed with North Carolina.dawgs206 said:@sonics1993 now that signing day has mostly passed, who were the committed recruits that we were after/had some interest in us?
Most controversial opinion: “I like to put ketchup on my ice cream. I prefer vanilla, but any kind (works). If there’s ketchup, then I’ll just put a little bit on top.” -Jordan Botelho
More wrong in the head than peters ever was

@sonics1993, as stupid as this sounds, I've always thought that bullshit edit UW put out of Botelho with the dogs coming out of his face had a part in him dropping us. We seemed to be high on his list and then right after that came out he dropped us like a hot rock. He clearly didn't like it, he deleted it, the only reason I saw it was because of these boards. Again I know it sounds stupid but when dealing with 17 and 18 year olds..... Any truth to this?
Bralen Trice was clearly thrilled about his as evidenced by his enthusiasm in their group pictures this summer.

No. I think Sawyer will be better than Hunter Bryant at blocking, especially in space. He will be 20 pounds lighter, but will do everything at an equal level. I’m pumped about him.NorwegianHusky said:
Is it weird that I'm excited about him and Odunze blocking for us? I have PTSD from running screens with the opera singer out there.DawgsRus said:
I am excited about this kid, he is going to be a great possession receiver that 4 years from now will be a household name and the security blanket for SamNeighbor2972 said:Official 6'2 208

I don’t love losing Botelho or Herbig but I never was very high on either. They would be an upgrade, but not a huge one, and I think Bruener has more potential.

Yeah, sure. I don’t think either is very good. I want speed at LB which is why I like Bruener better.FireCohen said:

I like the Hawaiians better than McDonald. -
JK, I like bruener a lot. He just going to need 2 years to get big enough to play.RoadDawg55 said:

I thought Herbig was in the 215-220 range but he's actually about the same size as Bruener at just over 200. It'll be interesting to track their careers to see who ends up as the better LB. Maybe I'm a doog but I'm betting on our boy Carson.

Im somewhat of a hypocrite because I like Ah You a lot, but Hawaii mostly churns out lineman, not LB’s and skill guys.

Most of the lb recruits from the islands grow into pass rushers for whatever reason lately off the top of my head.

Ah You will be a pure speed assassin. He won't ever be big enough to be a pass rusher. The kid should be great in our defense because after our huge line muddies shit up he will be allowed to fit gaps and make drops into coverage sideline to sideline. Add in Bruener and Heimuli and you have what this defense needs, the requisite speed to keep the underside of our zones from being abused like they were this year. Add in thumpers like Calvert and Tafisi and you have a nice mix of athletes to play around with depending on what offense you are playing on any given Saturday. Assuming we have someone to teach them how to do these things will also make a big difference moving forward.

I think he’s a heady, aggressive player. He was reported to have run a 4.9, but he definitely looks faster on film. You get monster DL to take up blocks, which we have done a good job doing, and let the speedy LB’s clean up the mess. The days of needing a true thumper at ILB are over.theknowledge said:Ah You will be a pure speed assassin. He won't ever be big enough to be a pass rusher.

A lot of the recent first round LB’s from the SEC were slightly undersized guys who could fly. Rueben Foster (221 pounds), White from LSU, Roquan Smith at Georgia (225)... These guys weren’t all that big, but they could run and hit. LB’s need to be able to cover and play sideline to sideline. I didn’t see that from the Hawaiians and I like the idea of Bruener, Heimuli, and Ah You better.
Wellington had the physical talent, but had a low football IQ. That was the difference between BBK and him. -

Ah You is so athletic. Mfer was returning punts for his HS. Sophomore against Gorman he looks like a 4.5 guy. Dude is a freak for a LBer. Has a big frame too. He’s awesome. -
I played with quite a few Hawaiians in college. LB’s who can fill the gaps, hit hard and stop the run. Quite a few grew into defensive lineman as their career progressed. None of them were that great in pass coverage or playing in space. Granted this was D3 football so what can you expect

Herm is doing a great job at getting all the California kids that should go to USC/UCLA that aren't quite good enough to go to LSU/Bama/ClemsonGrundleStiltzkin said: -

herm Is getting amazing hype. Needs to win this year or be exposed. Defense will be pretty good but their offense is going to be way too young.

Is it just me, or does ASU’s class look a lot like a Sark class?AtomicDawg said:herm Is getting amazing hype. Needs to win this year or be exposed. Defense will be pretty good but their offense is going to be way too young.

Daniels looked like a very good young QB. I don’t think they are a sleeping giant but they could be somewhat like Utah and sneak up on teams and end up playing in a Pac 12 title game under Herm.AtomicDawg said:herm Is getting amazing hype.

They aren’t a disaster but they aren’t great either. Graham’s best teams were better than they are now. -
I would agree but them hiring a Boise St. OC tells me they are an annual 4-5 loss team.RoadDawg55 said:

Good job to all involved at UW
