    Damion Turpin really surprised the shit out of everyone with his senior year. Was more than serviceable during his senior year.

    Turpin had an ok senior year as a backup but 4 years of riding the bench outside the 2-deeps is not impressive.

    You also have to remember that he was seen at the time of his UW commitment as a somewhat big get. Sark and Co hot him to flip from UCLA.

    I had straight from a former players mouth that the upperclassmen loved fucking up Tupou at practice. I was shocked he ever turned out decently.

    A low ranked guy I think will end up making a few plays for us is Chincredible. Bush recruited him and loves him. He will be a bit piece next year, but will gradually get more time once Baccellia and Pounds sell their couches or get passed. Just watched his film again and he has skills.

    High points the ball well, makes some catches in traffic.. Reminds me of a poor man's Kearse that will get better coaching. He plays a lot bigger than his listed 6'0" 170. He will be solid.

    Going in to this year i thought he complete garbage, but this year he proved to be a decent player. I feel like he would have a started for a lot of Pac-12 school this year.

    Recently? Dante Pettis.

    Thought he would be okay ... But he's exceeded my expectations.

    Anyone who's switched positions and shit.

    Jaylen Johnson will be a Jesse Callier PCI 4+ by the time he leaves.

    Yeah. I wasn't super excited about him when he was recruited. Probably because I was thinking about him as an edge rush guy, since he was 235 pounds at 6'3"+, and his film didn't show him as a real quick twitch pass rusher.

    Well, here we are 45 pounds later and he is a very solid DT/3-4 DE type with above average pass rush skills.

    I've had so much confidence in the recruiting and player development that I'm not too surprised by any mentioned. Where I'm a little surprised is I still think Dotson is going to contribute. I thought Dotson and Beavers would be the two young players breaking out in 2016. 1 for 2. Against @Dennis_DeYoung will, I'm still holding out hope, but admittedly the goal post is moving on Dotson.

    True or false: 2010 class was the best since-graduated OL class for us in fifteen years at least.

    Thoughts:

    Dotson is garbage and will never be good.

    Chincredible sucks balls and will never see the field with the incoming class we have.

    Derpin Turpin going from absolute dreck to quite serviceable was a huge surprise for me.

    When we got Eldrenkamp I thought oh ok, here's a guy who will fill out the two deeps when he is a Junior and might get spot playing time as a senior as a rotational guy. That's why I gave him a 5 I think, instead of the 4 he probably deserved. When was the last lightly recruited OL we had who turned out to be an all conference stud who will probably get drafted?

    Eldrenkamp wasn't that lightly recruited.

    He had offers from Yale AND Brown.

    In real life. Not on this board. No way.
