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

Apparently Hau'oli Jamora/Kikaha is starting at both DE spots for us

    Doucheman.com's view: True freshmen playing = great recruiting!

    Real world view: True freshmen playing = underdeveloped upperclassmen.

    (yes, I know that Shaq Thompson is an exception, and so is Herschel Walker.)

    Take it up with Nick Saban, who played TJ Yeldon and Amari Cooper as true freshman last season.
    Uhhh...we don't have freshmen like that. Our freshmen get thrown to the fire because the guys ahead of them are busts, or their sitting on the sidelines jawing with cheerleaders while their foot is in a boot. Shaq Thompson is an exception, and my hunch is that JoJo Mathis will be a regular by mid-year...if not sooner.

    Uhhh you realize this post is directly under the post that shows that John Ross and Amari Cooper have almost the exact same rating coming into the season.

    You guys are embarrassing yourselves.

    I'm not worried about Ross and am excited about watching him play. My post was related to UW's true freshmen as a whole, not an individual. Certain individuals are surely good enough to play. I wasn't trying to bitch about Ross. All I said was that I would be more comfortable with Kasen returning punts in the first game.

    Aren't Hall and Mickens supposed to be the fastest guys on the team?

    That's a fair complaint. I just don't think it's relevant to right now.

    My God people, it is 1 Frosh in the starting lineups.

    When you look at the available 29 starting spots on offense, defense and S/T, 20 are filled by JRs or SRs.

    There are some things to bitch about, but starting ONE Frosh is not one of them.

    Look at our 2-deeps, and consider the recent history of this program. We throw guys into the fire that aren't ready far more than friggin' alabama.

    We have 7 true frosh in this year's two deeps, and Sark has been boasting during camp at how much depth we have, and how fewer true frosh will have to play.

    Please ask yourself WHY they aren't ready. Relax with a #freshbowl and accept the inevitable.
