Some actual Husky talk - Next year's OL
Everyone has expected Eldrenkampf to take over at LT but I don't think the staff is sold on him. He played nothing but garbage minutes last year. Even when Coleman Shelton went down, Atoe and his cement shoes were moved over to RT. McGary has the ideal size and athleticism but never played a true OL in high school. If he can pick up the position, he might make a play for starting minutes.
On the inside, the coaches seem to really like Sosobeeseebeeseebese. He apparently moves great, is really strong, and already looks like a 45 year old man and, like with Eldrenkampf, they didn't give Kirkland, Fuvai (still hasn't played a snap in a live game) or Crane a shake in any games this year. Brostek could also emerge as a player if he can shake the Cozz off.
My guess
LT - McGary
LG - Charles
C - Tufungus
RG- Sosobeeseebeeseesesesebeeseebeseesbeeesee
RT - Shelton (not the Hawaiian one)
As for starting RS Fr., Hatchie, Porter, Kohler, Charles, Tanigawa, Criste, and Shelton (the white one) all started as True or RS frosh. On a slightly more successful team you had Fisher, Grassu, and Johnstone all starting since they were RS-fr for the team that lost

To sum it up, it'll be interesting, unless it's not, but wither way it will be interesting

Hey, take this shit to the.....
Oh wait. Good stuff. It will be interesting to see if McGary starts of spring ball at OL, or if he still plays DL initially.
What about that Devin Burleson guy? Seems like he could be the dark horse (no racist crap!). Hopefully Ivan's remote-offseason program has done him some good. -
Did Brostek redshirt this year?
-
After so many years of abuse I'm going to assume the line will suck until they dont. Thanks Sark.
-
I think we have a decent shot at an average (but young) OL next year.
-
I predict the same lineup as Bananas. I don't think Eldenkamp has a chance at playing LT if he can't even beat Coleman Shelton out at RT. I think McGary or another freshman starts there. Dexter Charles would be my dark horse if he could move from guard. I don't think that happens though.

OL talk is just not that exciting anymore. When is the last OLineman that gave you a boner? Was it Kruetz?

Sark acted like he won the lottery when Eldrenkampf picked us over the Cougs because he was from Bellevue. Unfortunately, he had to offer him at the last minute because nobody else wanted to play for him (Banner, Garnett, Williams). Eldrenkampf was the second best lineman on his team after walk-on Michael Kneip and even Ektard was saying all year that Sark was in on bigger fish and wouldn't offer him.RoadDawg55 said:I predict the same lineup as Bananas.

Along with Dean (didn't even make all-league as a senior) , Brostek (who almost picked Oregon at the last minute) and Hindy (recruited as a "short snapper"), that OL class was one for the ages -
Im too busy reading obk and ozone posts to deal with this shit right now. Ask me again in 8 months after oregon sacks kenjata carter samuels smith or john brown 8 times in the first half

I hear they are getting t-shirts made.

Serious question - given all the controversy over the OL during Sark's tenure how many of the UW OL are going to be Pac-12 quality? My own view is that part of the problem with the Husky offense this year wasn't the experience, but rather that at least a couple of those experienced players were just not up to the task in terms of raw talent.
Am I off base here? -
You're correct. There was lots of experience on the line. They are just terrible.AZDuck said:Serious question - given all the controversy over the OL during Sark's tenure how many of the UW OL are going to be Pac-12 quality?

Why so down on Dane Crane? I think it's a little early to form conclusions on why he didn't play in 2014.

Here's my assessment of what's coming back:
"Frankenstein's Monster" McGary, T — This kid looks like an after picture from a 40 year boxing career with a cowboy hat photoshopped on to him. He'll probably be good.
Dexter "Almost Reggie Cleveland All-Star" Charles, G/T — Overhyped and horrible, Charles has always been bad and the idea of having his uncle "Fudd" play "Welcome to the Jungle" as our entrance song is an equally awful idea as him being the 'leader' of our group next year. Soft, shitty. I wish I could sell his fucking couch for him. SELL YOUR COUCH, DEX!!!
Siosifafifa Tufunguna, G/C — He's round and bad. Has no talent. Never will be any good. Basically the shitty Colin Tanigawa. Allow yourself a second to let that seep in. The shitty Colin Tanigawa.
Dane Crane, C — I will admit that I liked his HS film and thought he would be good. Maybe he will be. I mean, beating out the center-by-committee grouping of Panda Tanigawa and former All Pac-12 HM powerhouse Mike Christ is obviously a tough task. I do like that his name rhymes.
Boomer Boomer, G — My policy is that, until proven otherwise, all Petersen recruits are basically Sidney Jones MMXIV and all Sark recruits are basically Erik Kohler. Jones would make a better lineman than Kohler ever did.
Jake "Mein" Eldrenkampf, T — I liked him coming out of HS, I guess. From his performance so far it looks like he should've stayed there.
Shelton Coleman, T — He was god fucking awful. 'Pencil-armed', 'directionless' and 'worthless' are the first three adjectives that come to mind when I think of his play this year. Maybe he'll get better, but I doubt it.
It wouldn't surprise me to see Kirkland and Fuavai do a little couch market research this off-season. The rest of everyone is either a freshman or sucks so much shit I forgot them. -
In the Donald Jones thread on the recruiting board, we talked about how UW's teams haven't passed the look test for awhile. The good news is McGary, Sosobee, and Adams all look like the big, mean dudes from South Kitsap UW had in the 90's. I don't know if that means they are any good, but I like the new OL recruits better than Sark's.
Another positive is that there is thought put behind the projects Petersen offers. Sark took bums like Taylor Hindy because he needed another OL. Petersen took a 6'7" 270 pound basketball player in Burleson. Burleson may suck, but I like the idea of him much more than Hindy. There seems to be actual thought behind it. -

I think the OL recruiting is one of the things that has me most excited for the future...
Road mentioned McGary (who looks like how you would create an OT in a lab), Sosobee, Adams and Burleson. But then you throw in guys like Henry Roberts and Jared Hilbers, those are some guys that will pass the eye test for you on the lines. It's all about development for the OL, but the starting point for the coaches seems really good. And I know they also apparently really like John Turner. The only guy on the line that they have brought in that I don't get is Matt James, mostly because I don't think he has been able to put on any weight.
The thing about Burleson that does concern me is that he has a Kevin King neck. NOT GOOD!!!11

I just want an average OL next year ... not asking for much.
In fact, if you give me average play across all positional groups next year ... that'd be a massive improvement over this year. -

All my chips are in behind Trey Adams. I fucking love him. My favorite OL recruit from our state since Garnett. DeCastro was similar. The kid is a motherfucking beast. I just hope we can RS him next year.

Still listed as a DL on the official website, fwiw.
