Coker: 2

JCMCERP:
C: 3
T: 3
D... 1
Specific Prediction for his career:
C: Solid player for UW, plays a good amount of snaps because he will be an end line blocker for us and do very well at that.
T: Has a definite chance to outperform this rating; very fluid catching the ball and looks like a throwback to the TEs of the 1990s
D... Bad back = early retirement.

Specific Prediction for his career:
C: 3 year starter at guard for UW. 1st team All-Pac12 his senior year.
T: Easily best offensive player in the class; would be shocked if he isn't a 1st round pick in the NFL barring injury ... movement is super easy

Specific Prediction for his career:
C: Backup center his last year at UW. Michael Kneip, but with a scholarship offer.
T: Possible 1-2 year starter on OL; probably gets beat up in film reviews bc attention goes to Wattenburg; I see good things in isolation ... also liked his film on defensive side of ball (could see him moving to DL for depth depending on how the OL ultimately shakes out)
D... Will become self-aware in year three and use the lump of poo emoji as self-reference in tweets. For instance, 'lump of poo emoji' wants donuts tonight!

D... 3
Specific Prediction for his career:
C: Records 25+ Sacks in his career. First player in UW history to decapitate a player in a game, when during the 2018 Apple Cup the “Grade A Beef, California Hoss” right tackle for WSU can’t get a hand on him on a block. Mike Leach asks the decapitated player to suck it up and go in a broom closet.
T: Would be shocked if he isn't a 1st round pick; watch out when he adds technique to his ability; I expect him to be the #1 player in this class long run
D... Foot problems lead to inconsistencies. His junior year will be his best.

T: Feel like I may be even ranking him too low ... all the physical abilities that you want out of an OLB ... can't wait to see him and Benning coming from the outside on plays ... insane
D... His crazy white mom will light his younger male sibling on fire as a celebration for Amandre's All-American season.

Specific Prediction for his career:
C: Records 60+ tackles in each of his final three seasons at UW. Gets carries on offense at some point in his career.
T: Heir apparent to Azeem Victor
D... Will play early and never really develop as much as he should, then get a tattoo that says 'Poor Man's Shaq Thompson' across his chest because Carolina will win the super bowl two years in a row and he doesn't understand that's an insult to himself.

T: Will be a multi-year defensive captain ... will either be playing Bierria's ILB or Littleton's OLB position (I'm betting on ILB)
D... Will make academic All-American, then disappoint everyone when they find out his parents are white.

Specific Prediction for his career:
C: Is ejected from 3 games in his career, the best safety UW has had since Tony Parrish. I ask him to marry me at some point during his career.
T: Will be a starter by end of true frosh year; already hits like an upper classman; will be a 3-4 year starter and likely future captain

T: Plays fast and could be a 2 year starter at CB; wouldn't shock me if he switches to WR for more playing time
D... In his redshirt junior year, he will think he is about to take over the starting spot from JoJo McIntosh only to find out Jimmy Lake forgot he was on the team.

What Pepsi forgot to add ...
We're going to be podcasting here shortly ... we may or may not use comments in this thread when discussing some of these prospects ...
So if you can make a few interesting comments ... they may be used ... if you make some boring comments ... they may be used ... or not ... either way, the podcast will be interesting. -
In a week with a ton of good chit, right up at the top
-
Always thought Gilchrist was really overrated by the TBS sites, glad to see I'm not the only one. Early bloomer who got the 4* ranking then didn't improve on it.
-
I'm taking the other side on Nick Harris. The hardcore TBS'ing I've done in the last month discovered that he had the highest SPARQ rating at some NAMBLA event last summer. He will end up reminding us of Frank Garcia. Book it.
*10 wins in '16 or busts -

If you are going to use 2-low and 2-high categories then you might as well make it a 5 point rating system because that is what it is.
I said this last year too. -
I learned a couple things reading this thread.
Coker is a diamond in the rough when it comes to humor. He's a real Wes Welker-type, lunch pail, gym rat kinda guy.
I also learned to follow a process when it comes to drinking coffee and reading this thread. Drink, swallow and then read because if you drink and read, you tend to spit your coffee all over your phone. I'm lucky though since one of my dads works for Verizon and he's getting me a new phone today. -
I happened to be walking by the East practice field during on the the first Fall Camp practices last year. Durkee was out there by himself working on his running skills. Clearly showed up to camp fat.whatshouldicareabout said:

Tequilla: Will be a bridge starter for the program and be a slightly better version of Keith Price
So you're saying he will be second all time behind Cody Pickett in terms of his passing numbers?
I call bullshit. -
Just because Keith Price was a 3 year starter and had the time to put up those numbers doesn't mean he was good. Are you gonna measure receivers by how close they get to Jaydon's receiving numbers too?CheersWestDawg said:Tequilla: Will be a bridge starter for the program and be a slightly better version of Keith Price

But I doubt a "bridge starter" would be better than Price.
Price was an above average PAC starter at the QB position ... probably not a good enough QB to be a conference winning QB without a highly talented team surrounding him.
If Price was as good as his numbers said he was, he would be sitting on a NFL roster somewhere.
