    Not sure if it's for winter or spring, but this is great to get him conditioning and practicing early. See Rapp, Taylor for an example as to what an early enrollment can do.
    He'll enroll for winter quarter and be starting on the DL for the natty

    Very cool, wasn't sure if there was still a small chance of Oregon's new coach flipping him...doesn't look like it.

    I'm not too dialed in, but on a need basis, a great DT is right at the top. We are spoiled now. We need the reinforcements when we have to replace those guys.

    Marlon is a direct Qualls replacement. He's another Swiss army type dude who lines up all over the D-line already in high school, including some stand up pass rush. I don't think we'll go as far as to use him at SAM like we do with Qualls, but the key point is versatility.
    You mean high school tackles have trouble blocking a top 100 recruit dt when he lines up outside? I would have to see it to believe it.

    I don't think we realize how spoiled we are. Vea, Qualls and Gaines are an unbelievable trio. Teams rarely have such an asset.

    In terms of TBSing, Vea was a 2-star on Scout and Gaines was a 3-star who I don't believe had any other pac-12 offers.

    I can't wait to see what this staff does with kids like Marlon
    We've been spoiled with Shelton qualls Gaines and Vea in a really short window of time even with some of them overlapping. These guys are not going to be better than them. If they play to that level that would be awesome.
