Can't wait to see Chico in Purple. What incoming frosh are you looking forward to seeing?
But, first check out the play at 3:20 in this clip of FW @ Newport State Quarterfinals game in which Chico pole vaults Knight defender, without a pole. (He was called for a penalty because you're not allowed to leap over a player who is standing up, only crouched down).

I'm just excited to see an offensive line in a few years that consists of guys who are 6'7'' to 6'9'', athletic, and well-coached. Adams, Hilbers, Robrerts, McGary, and Burleson (who Jood says is already close to 300 lbs.) is a recipe for a great offense if Strauser can coach them up.
Oh, and AJ Carty's lightning-quick long snap, but that goes without saying -
McClatcher has the most exciting highlights of any of them. No question about that. He's going to be fun to watch. I hope he lines up in the backfield. I see him as more of a running back that can shift out to the slot than a slot receiver.

I like McClatcher but the beef this year keeps my sweatpants happy happy happy.
-
Browning and Chico. That's all that matters. It's nice having an adult in charge.

Could be a real weapon and play right away. We need any boost in the running game we can get. He could also allow John Ross to concentrate on playing DB and get the same kind of player on the offensive side.
-
We need John Ross on O. I'm sorry, but you don't let someone with that ability to stretch the field go to waste. He should play defense because he is that athletic, but it's super frustrating getting minimal production out of him when he should be charles woodson.

Chico's recruitment was so odd, I think I just haven't really processed him as a thing yet. He's a midget, obviously, but he also has dynamite in his socks.chuck said:McClatcher has the most exciting highlights of any of them. No question about that. He's going to be fun to watch.

The question remains if he's DAT Jr. or Hervé Villechaize in cleats. -
I will be very excited to see Chico as a junior and senior.
IF he plays next year a a freshman, I expect to see some growing pains. In HS, he was so much more athletic than those next to him that he could always look to break the big play. That won't be the case anywhere close to as often in college. He'll probably try to go East/West a few times too often instead of North/South and pay dearly for it and learn some valuable (and painful) lessons.
That being said, finding a quick guy that can turn simple 3-5 yard plays into 7-10 yard plays with regularity will be a great security blanket for a QB. -

A little unrelated, but that was one of the things that stood out the most to me in the Fotu Leiato film. When he had the ball in his hands, he got upfield quickly. -
@MrsPetersen and I had been on the theory that he was a silent commit to Petersen for a long time (like since May or something). Theory was that he committed to the staff and Petersen probably told him if he gets his grades in order they will accept his committment. I know he worked like crazy during the summer with school and never really talked about recruiting to any sites out there. Then basically he cancelled his Boise visit, went to UW and committed on the spot. I bet it was more showing Petersen that he had gotten the grades or something.Dennis_DeYoung said:

Anywho, player I am most excited for is Myles Gaskin.
