Please God, hire Slingblade.
UW will be even more pass happy and a bunch of pussies.
I think Pete has upgraded us when he's made new hires.
Do you think Malloe is an upgrade over Jeff Choate?
Honestly, I'm going to LIPO on recruiting this year. If we don't get T&T - that's a clear problem. If we do, then maybe we did.
I've been harder on Malloe than anyone, but I'm always happy to be proven wrong.
We shall see.
I was going to say...if we end up with 2 of Taimani, Togai, or Tremblay along with Draco, that's a better haul than Choate ever had.
Choate's praise for getting Levi and identifying Gaines is well deserved. He also brought us Ricky McCoy, Scrempos, and Shane Bowman.
It's not over for any of those guys. Zero expectation that any will be standouts, but there's a stupid assumption about the interior DL depth that's prevalent on this board...the assumption that guys not seeing the field are hopeless. I know one or two posters actually go to practices and/or know somebody that knows somebody with inside info but most are just assuming or parroting what they've read here.
I don't quite buy in yet. UW had three future draft picks eating up snaps last year (maybe String makes it 4?) and two destroyers this year (3 or 4 future NFL guys counting Levi O and String?). Not seeing meaningful snaps as an underclassman with that kind of quality ahead of you doesn't always mean you suck or have no potential.
We'll see in the next few months. If those players mentioned are still on the roster for spring I'll assume the assumption is off the mark.
