Just went back and listened to the full interview. The reason he said this was because Softy asked him (paraphrased) "You get asked a lot about the 'highly rated' guys like Kaho, but what about some of the guys that people aren't talking about?" He then complemented Sirmon AND Tafisi. This had nothing to do with praising the try hard white dude over the 5 star, it was literally the question Softy asked.

Context is king

On this board?

huh?

Really misleading tweet, then. Thanks for listening to Softy so I don't have to.

When asked the same question about his first class, Petersen said the same thing about Gaines.

I know I’m biased because I played against his dad, but I think he’ll be maybe the best of the three.

Sirmon is fucking good.

He’s a 4-Star 6-2, 220 ILB with a dad who was a pro football player. He’s got a huge frame and really smooth movement and quick feet. Really good instincts and closes quick. That description of anyone is superlative.

Just because he’s white doesn’t mean he sucks.

Some of my favorite players are white. I used to fucking idolize Tim Meamber. I grew up a Husky fan in the 80s, if I had something against white people I would have hated our team. But I didn’t. We had some incredible players who were white and I loved. Paul Skansi, Curt Marsh, Jimmy Rodgers was a big favorite.

I just hate “white players”. Let’s not act like people don’t get the difference between Tim Meamber and BBK.

Sirmon is way closer to TM than he is BBK.

How did you grow up in the 80s when you were born in 1947???

But still...
 

Recruit Oregon Legacys....

Nothing else matters and in my limited knowledge of Duck Football, I can come up with at least 5 guys who were better at than those guys at their positions after the fact.

Fucking Doogs.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like any Cuog recruits are worthy of cherry picking this year. Bummer.

They have a D lineman named Tryon that is a stud. I'd take that guy if DJ Johnson is for sure gone

Joe Tryon? Lol he sucks... my friend dominated him as a sophmore

BUMP

What a double shit take for both making the comparison AND shitting on BBK.

Sirmon sucks. My friend dominated him as a sophomore.
 
He looked good in the spring game. Again people get better in this progrum. LIPO.

The offense was vanilla and almost all the runs were between the tackles, straight at the ILBs. That's not his weakness, so he'll look good doing what he does best.

Where we need to see progress is covering the entire field, sideline-to-sideline. We didn't run any outside sweeps or fly sweeps or bubble screens where he's been inconsistent. I can't tell if he's gotten better since the players were never really tested.
 
The light could turn on for him. However, last year he played a lot like Asa Turner. Extremely passive. Sometimes seemed to purposefully move into blocks so he could take himself out of the play.

If he really is our 2nd best ILB, that's a huge problem
 
He looked really good. Also, Heimuli got run over by Pleasant on his TD. No such plays happened to young Jackson.
 
I still hate Sirmon until he actually plays well, but there were glimpses of a good player last year. He has improved. He missed multiple sacks and tackles behind the line, gave up some receptions despite being in pretty good coverage, etc. He’s always a step late and overthinks things.

I think he will end up being okay. He has not shown that he is a starting caliber ILB for a good team.
