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'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.

    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 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.

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

    We? always get the shitty Bellevue linemen

    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.

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

    I dunno.... Our? tackles are great, but I'm not so sure about the interior.

    Bain looks like a keeper, but he's a RS freshman who's never played a snap. Harris will be playing center for the first time, probably his natural spot, but there's gonna be some growing pains with learning a new position. Wattenburg's promising... but he's not a sure thing by any means.

    The overall depth is a flaming hot sack of syphilitic rhino shit.... but Strausser is a GOOD coach!1!

    Pete hasn’t let me down regarding player development. I wouldn’t give up him. Plus don’t forget the 1-2 guys that will come out of nowhere like Nick Harris

    I dooged on Harris, and I thought C would be his position and hoped he would be a baby Garcia given Harris’ nastiness.

    After getting his shit pushed in last year, especially in pass pro, I think he’s a low 3* rated prospect, he is what he is. At C, NTs are going to blast him in pass pro. I’m not knocking him personally, but he made little progress in pass pro last year, and I just don’t see it.

    Agreed.

    I think Harris is going to be so-so. There will be a game or two where we will all start to think much more fondly of Coleman Shelton, *cough* Auburn *cough*.

    Freshman and Redshirt Freshman meat is a lot different than Upperclasman meat. In all reality he should be a redshirt frosh this year

    Fixed. Unless you were suggesting he should have been greyshirted.

    Is it a forgone conclusion that new fish posters take 2 years to lay down 1 descent thread? Pup hit the ground running his very 1st post...then again Pup is unique
