is it a foregone conclusion that he is a bust?

Sure under a coaching staff like Sark had. I’d say LIPO see what Pete can do with development

I'd say he's a bust until he isn't. Last year, he was a RS So who played in 7 games as a sub, which is probably what we should expect for an average OL. I'll change my mind if he can win a spot inside during fall camp.

He got passed by Nick Harris. Then last year he 4th in line at the other G... Kirkland, Watty and Sosebee were all ahead of him.

He's a guy who had all the intangibles coming out of high school but never adjusted to the college game. Playing in Bellevue's system didn't help him.

He is still a Tupou candidate but he'll have to beat out Bain or Wattenberg, which doesn't seem likely.

I think intangibles = white.

No. Back in the day, we rightfully wrote guys off early because we sucked. If they couldn’t see the field early it was because they weren’t any good.

Then Pete came and we saw some guys who we previously thought were terrible actually contribute. Tupuo, Turbin, O’Brien, Perkins, etc.

Having said that, if a player hasn’t contributed on the OL or Buck and is an upperclassmen, they suck.

He better get on something quick because we need it. PSU game had me so disappointed in our interior OL. DDY and Coker may be satisfied, but I'd say Huff still has a lot to prove on both the recruiting and coaching fronts. Ale? Fish that should jump in the boat before you even cast. Curne? Decent, but not great. I love Mele as a project, but he's at least two years and 30 pounds away.

Nick Harris didn't look any better, Adams looked worse to start, and everybody else mostly held serve. Those guys on the inside better bulk the fuck up and start moving people.

Not amazing. Powerful, yes. Seems to have a means streak. A lot work with, but a ways to go, IMO.

Huff still has to prove it as a coach, but he had a very good year recruiting. Hopefully there will be improvements in his second year in the field. I think it will happen. We should have a good OL next year.

I hope watty and Bain keep sosobbe on the bench next year.

I feel like the O line did pretty good, especially after Trey got hurt. Small sample size but Huff is off to a good start.

As far as Roberts goes, his biggest contribution to this day is a picture he took with Trey in his underwear getting Jimmy Johns.

Code for white with a solid home life ... it's hard Dennis

Expecting anything out of Roberts at this point is likely expecting too much

Eh, he's been the only shitty one (so far) out of all of the Bellevue OL. Schilling, DeCastro, and Eldrenkamp all had good to great college careers.

ToddTurnerLIVES · February 2018

The starting O Line, left to right, will be:

Trey Adams, Luke Wattenburg, Nick Harris, Henry Bainavalu, Kaleb McGary

Our starting O Line is really fucking solid. That line combined with Gaskin and Ahmed should rack up yards and take a ton of pressure off of Browning.

Who the next guys off the bench are is anyones guess. I think Sosebee and Hilbers are probably the next two, both of which are more guard type of players. You'd also think that Henry Roberts SHOULD be in the mix with that group but he hasn't shown anything yet. Other than that it's a bunch of JAGs and redshirt freshman.

We are really fucking thin on the O Line. I think if Trey or Kaleb get hurt that Bain or Watty will move out and we plug Sosebee or Hilbers in at their guard spot. If Sosebee, Hilbers or Roberts could make the jump from JAG to serviceable back up that would be huge. Sosebee is a known commodity but I am holding out hope that Hilbers or Roberts can progress and play up to their physical potential or at the very least, provide some competition at the back up guard spot.

I forgot Eldrenkamp was WOLVERINES. The other guys went elsewhere, so 81% of my poont stands.

Howdy, Stranger!
