    Looks like a solid player ... runs the double moves very easily

    He looks fine, but he's running those double moves against little white kids that run 5.0's.

    This isn't the WAC! Can't recruit "edgy" players from Medina, Bellevue and Sammamish.

    I like the hire though.

    If you think I'm judging his ability to get in/out of double moves by judging how your typical Washington slow white kid reacts against the foreign concept of the double pass, then you are a giant fucktard.

    He's a decent prospect. A little lumbering and slow in and out of his cuts (in the actual game film), but he's big and looks to have good hands.Those double moves look good because he's either running them on air or against kids that run 5.0's with no concept of how to properly cover.

    WR prospects in the State of Washington IMO are some of the most difficult prospects to judge since the quality of QB play at the HS level in this state is flat out highly questionable.

    What I look for when I watch a WR when making cuts is whether or he has to noticeably change his speeds. In game film, it can be hard to really make an accurate read on this if the player doesn't have confidence in his QB to throw anything more than a jump ball (which is what I saw a lot of in the game film). On the other hand, if you know that you have a QB that can drop the dime as you run away from your defender, it's much, much easier to do the right things and go from there.

    All in all, I'd say a good get for Oregon State and he fits the kind of player that I typically associate with going to Oregon State. Normally you see guys go there that are often just a bit overlooked for one reason or another (maybe not as fast, consistent, big, etc) as you'd like. Yet, by the time they are in their 3rd to 5th year in the OSU program, they've been sufficiently coached up to the point that you wonder why you didn't recruit them (see Scott Crichton).

    Sark saw Josh Shirely had 4 stars and Crichton had 2 stars. Not a hard decision for Sark.
