According to Scout, San Pedro 3-star OL Nick Ford has been hearing from UW.
He's skinny right now but 6'6" and athletic as fuck (not a lunch pail kid).
Offers are about on the same level as Orlando Umamu. Supposedly a Cal legacy guy but Ektard thinks he would commit to UW if offered.
Dennis pointed him out to me a few weeks back, he looks incredible.
I dont know how you pedos do it. I dont want to call you all doogs for thinking that every recruit is fucking amazing now but how do you guys sift through all this and actually make honest assessments? Its your wheelhouse and all, but I dont get it.
Sure he is 6'6" and 275 lbs and still looks skinny and could probably put on another 30 lbs of muscle and likes to maul guys after the play is past him but thats about it.
He has extremely limited athleticism. Slow feet, limited explosiveness, narrow stance, lacks awareness when moving into the second level, almost no punch from his upper body, doesnt bend that well, and plays about as slow as @Dennis_DeYoung's solar powered motorized wheelchair on a cloudy day headed up 45th leaving U village after 5 drinks and two racks of ribs at the Ram.
Limited athleticism that led him to run 11.2 last year. Great point.
And also: I go to Joey, not the Ram. I'm O, R & W.
1/3 of his highlight video is him coming and laying big blindside hits on a tiny defender chasing the QB or him mauling some other tiny players after the play is already over for him.
Only 2 highlights of him working alone on the edge during an off tackle run play.
Not once him pulling on a block, double teaming a block and then moving to the second level, or blocking one on one during a QB roll-out to his side.
No highlight of him working in space on a RB toss or WR screen.
One highlight of him wandering around down field during a RB screen.
On the majority of his pass plays highlights the RB or TE is used as help to shade the edge rusher back inside.
I get it, you guys do this 1000 times a day, I'm just saying what I see with my eyes that are as good as @GrandpaSankey's but his video doesnt look any better than Bainvindaloo's sophmore highlights or even Nick Harris' video (who you called a lump of emoji poo, right?).
Maybe he is actually athletic, if so, his video sucks at showing it.
Also, hudl says he ran a 11.9... but still...
