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

    It's all relative. Why wouldn't the other players be sped up on the tape too?

    The tape is sped up slightly. It's a common trick to make kids look better. He's good, but... Yeah.

    Yeah that would be my biggest concern, he's listed at 6' on Scout...not ideal but it doesn't seem to be a good year for NT / DTs on the West Coast.

    But IMHO, a 6' NT is ok with me if he eats up blockers in the running game and presents some inside pass-rush. Come to think of it, how many balls did Danny Shelton bat down?

    Also a recruiting analyst compared him to this guy, who had a good offer sheet:

    His HUDL profile says 6ft 1 which probably means he is 5ft 11. Socha can't teach height.

    They are. It's just a spotlight effect. If you speed up the tape and you're mostly watching one guy, you are more impressed with that guy—who ostensibly is already outperforming the other players on the tape.

    It's an old, old trick.

    Do you understand how Hudl works? Obviously, you don't. This is not a "highlight video". It is clips from game footage uploaded by his team to Hudl. Are you suggesting that his team increases the speed by 5-10% every time they upload? That would require recompression, which takes a fair bit of time. No team would spend that time.
