He’s a track guy. Wait till FSP gets a hold of him also. That should seal the deal on his breakaway speed.MontlakeBridgeTroll said:Just wait till KP teaches this kid to run slow, tentative, and sideways.

I look forward to Doogs comparing him to that one running back who played for DJ in a bowl game, looked all world and then transferred.DeepDawg said:That sweet sweet Texas pipeline

Serious lulz at the Ralphie May comp.RoadDawg55 said:
I’ve always thought Fetters was a mix of Brad Pitt, Ryan Gosling, Tom Hardy, and Ralphie May.chuck said:
Jeebus fetters. That's embarrassing.dnc said:
It makes me think, though. You could take 4-5 good looking dudes, roll them all into one mass, and have it come out looking like Fetters. So maybe it's not so ridiculous looking from that point of view. -

He was Mountain West Recruiter of the year one time so therefore is our director of recruiting strategy or whatever dumb title he has that he doesn’t deserve.pat_hm said:
Exactly. And what's even more concerning is that it's gone unchecked by both Petersen and now Lake. I can't for the life of me understand what they see in the guy.Neighbor2972 said:The best part about KB's recruiting is that he doesn't even wait for his top targets to commit before moving on to his backup plan. In the top 5 for Bijan Robinson? That sounds hard, might as well just take Sunday so we don't have to worry about it. In the top 5 for Byron Cardwell after being one of the 1st schools to prioritize him? Might as well give up since now other schools actually want him.
Its just peak laziness

INSTANT REAX, re: Chris Fetters to DM... another one in the stable for KG as the Doogs continue to move into Whitman. BIG back, shades of Pitt, Gosling, Hardy, Eklund and Ralphie May all rolled into one powerful back. Aggressive downhill condescender w/ shake.RoadDawg55 said:

Analysis from Gabe Brooks, who the Huffman and Angulo of Texas.
Evaluation notes: Berry is a good, solid back with the requisite size and a tough-minded approach to the position. He's shown big-play ability in his penchant for breaking tackles at the first level and using above average top-end play speed in the open field.
Berry played his junior season in the 6-foot, 190- to 195-pound neighborhood, but has emphasized the weight room this offseason in an effort to run harder and stronger more consistently. He now weighs in the 210-pound range to give him college-ready size at the position.
Berry already ran pretty hard as is, but that added mass should help him in the box and when finishing runs at the second level. One of the more encouraging elements of his game is his foot quickness in the hole, where he shows the ability to make the first defender miss to extend runs.
There's a violence to Berry's gait that produces some wasted motion and body control inconsistency, but coincidentally, he runs with good enough balance to regularly break tackles and maintain his footing. His production was solid in 2019, but we hope to see more yardage and a higher per carry average this fall.
Berry's most recent 100-meter time of 11.34 seconds is adequate, but he can improve his top-end speed. He has relatively limited experience as a pass-catcher, so that will be one area to continue his work as he transitions to the next level.
Overall, Berry is a good pickup for Washington. He's a hard-nosed runner with some open-field juice who probably plays a bit faster than his track numbers suggest. He comes from a traditionally talent-laden East Texas program that has produced numerous FBS players, including NFL talent such as Keke Coutee, Dez Bryant, Jorvorskie Lane, and Don Muhlbach, among others. He will arrive at Washington having faced strong competition relative to the high school level in practices and games. -

11.34 is not very good.
