I’m sure the parents of this kid will be glad to know that a Husky fan referred to their son as a “scrap”.
Any recruit from the state of Washington that doesn't get a UW offer and ends up at Oregon is UW scraps. I'm pretty confident you won't be happy with Oregon's O-line class this cycle. They've got six lineman to replace and probably won't get a single 4-star O-line recruit to sign with them this class. But go ahead and keep your head in the sand.
How many 4 star O-line recruits does UW have so far this cycle?
Ahmed>Gaskin
They'll have Hatchett in a couple weeks and probably Rosengarten as well. Gaard Memmelaar was offered and taken as a UW commit as a Sophomore. They don't do that unless they think a kid is elite which he is. He's under the radar because he's from Idaho.
It's hilarious to me that you are so confident Ahmed isn't better than Gaskin. He was an elite national recruit out of high school and possesses 4.32 speed. I think it would go against everything we know about UW's coaching staff and their ability to develop talent if Ahmed did not turn out to be better than Gaskin. More talent plus same quality coaching should equal better performance.
As of right now, you don't have a 4 star O-lineman. That isn't debatable. If Hatchett and/or Rosengarten commit then you'll have one[/b], but that isn't yet the case.
There are more important qualities to a running back than speed. Like, vision and footwork. Gaskin had amazing vision and great footwork. Ahmed has shown to lack vision, and DeAnthony Thomas was a speed freak, but wasn't anything special as a featured back.
We'll see if Ahmed can do anything more than misdirection or an outside sweep[/b].
