Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Another Stellar Incoming OLine Class

Sark met his quota again by getting 2 offensive linemen
1) Dane Crane - Center - Supposed to be really good
2) Andrew Kirkland - Guard - General consensus is he will have to get A LOT better to contribute to a D-1 team

The last minute, garbage time, desperation offer guy (OT Coleman Shelton) is not on the incoming roster

    Yikes! I actually thought Coleman Shelton looked good for being so lowly rated. The OL issues are pathetic. 2010 was a good year, and that's it. The 2012 class signed 4 guys and they were all plan B/C guys except for Dean (already gone).

    Lather, Rinse, Repeat is correct. Even if Kim is right about the OL being good in 2014, we will suck again once all the guys from 2010 graduate.

    Good news on Kirkland: Great kid, smart, big and strong

    Not so good news:
    Oregon didn't offer this instate talent (they did sign his high school teammate, center Doug Brenner) because he's slow afoot. Will that hurt him in Sark's new hurry-up offense? TBD.

    PurpleJ spends a lot of time on his analysis and he deserves our respect.

    Spoke with YaleDawg recently and he said that he posted on Dawgman that Kirkland sucked (I recall it). Kirkland, a subscriber got pissed and Kim deleted the post. I heard that the way Sark & Nansen recruit most guys (non 4-5* guys) is akin to trying to pick up chicks at 1:55am at the bar. We know that OL is the most difficult position to recruit because its all about player development more so than talent. It takes careful and thorough evaluation. No surprise at the current situation, given what I heard. Mind you, this is only what I'm hearing.

    I highly doubt Kirkland subscribes to Dawgman. That being said, I know that Yale's opinion of him is that he was not a Division 1 level football player. The Oregon board all had a good laugh when we took his commitment because Chip wouldn't touch him with a ten-foot pole
