    Damn Scout has Ale rated as a 2-star. All that Doog shit I was saying before only extends as low as 3-stars. Really hope they will still take Murray if he wants in.

    He's a 3-star (#51 OT). His little banner thing in the doogman article is wrong.

    Huff did a good job this year. All 3 of these guys will probably need 2 years of development, but each one of them could be a 3 year starter. These guys would probably start their first year at WSU, Oregon State, Colorado, or Ari.
    Ale will have a very good senior year at DT.

    The next commits will be:
    Tremblay/Cravens
    Chris Brown
    Gordon
    Dr OJ

    Then UW can sit on their final 2 spots during the season and wait for guys like Kelly to get fired from ND, the Tamu guy etc., then rescue some recruits from them.

    @CokegreaterThanPepsi can you change the title to committed? I know twatter data matrices are hogging all your time but fuck.

    If he is playing D, or the possibility of seeing the D-Line. Does UW possibly take Another O-Line commitment?

    Just reread that. Seems pretty clear he's playing D.

    One has to wonder how long Pete has known that Ale would commit and how that may have affected the recent commitments of Craig and Jones. The TBS experts have hinted that this has been in queue for awhile.

    So is he an OL or DL committ? I know he plays rugby so I assume he can tackle.

    After reading Ale's background I can see one reason why coaches may consider him on defense. He is a golden gloves boxing champion.

    An incredibly important (but seldom talked about) skill for a defensive lineman is hand fighting. Defensive linemen can have a great deal of success if they can keep the offensive linemen from getting their hands on them. It requires lightning quickness and the ability to deflect the other person's hands and arms.

    NFL Hall of Famer Howie Long has talked about this, and so did another great defensive lineman from that era, Pierce Holt of the San Francisco 49ers.

    Several defensive linemen take martial arts in the off-season just to learn hand fighting techniques and to increase their hand quickness.

    Anyway, I have no idea what they will do with Ale, but his experience as a boxing champion is chintriguing.

    Kinda seems like Vakalahi to me. Since Malloe won't get Vakalahi, we might as well get Breasteffort and make Ale a strong as hell NT who's slow but immovable.

    So you're saying boxing skills are good for push up the middle?

    That's one of the acronyms I don't know. It always makes me think of lisfranc, the injury that cratered Ty's one almost mediocre season.
    I specifically asked for no racist crap

    Pretty much. And having a giant ass doesn't hurt.
