10.90 is smoking for his first time after spring ball. Fair sized meet where 10.5 won (Davion was 10th). Haigler had a decent discus toss, too.

 

[DrunkRalphie]

Athlete!

 

[Not Sure]

lol. We've all seen this play before:

Act 1: The OL is better than we thought!
Act 2: The DL is getting swallowed up! The OL is really good!
Act 3: Why the **** can't we generate any running lanes vs. CSU? Why can't we stop the run?.....oh.

You act as though we haven’t won three in a row against the goats.

 

[J.R. Ewing]

Yes, but does he have football speed?

Pursuit and angles are good from what I saw. Pass coverage needs work. Will contribute for sure.

Taylor will start from day one probably.

In Neill's Spring Review, he refers to a depth chart. Does anyone have a link they can share? N.B. Chris Miller finished on top at one of the starting corner spots per this alleged chart. . .

Thanks Adam!

That pencil depth chart is less than meaningful. For example, they ran Moretti with the one's, yet he's listed at #3 at LT.
Lots of other things not really accurate, but it won't matter until Aug 31.

Chase Newman at CB. Rakestraw at FS.

I think Rakestraw will stick safety. Obviously Newman is at LB. Newman is at Jack this spring but looks like buff backer should be his best spot.

 

[J.R. Ewing]

Hopefully Pursell and Sherman can add 10-15 lbs by August.

Oh, and Safety is terrifying.

Newman already was moved from BuffBacker. He will be focusing on gaining some mass I'd think.

 

[The Alabaster Yak]

Why isn’t Worthington listed at Safety? I know he’s injured but he’s on the depth chart at BB. There is zero chance Trego/Cooper are starting players at SS

I think pursell can hover around 285-290 at center, from all accounts he is a pretty chiseled guy but Sherman definitely need to be around 305 with his athleticism.

Since when did Vaughn get to 300?

 

[patebuff]

Believe the spring depth chart as well as a MM practice report. Not one thing to take from it.

 

[Highlander]

Not sure where to put this. Ryan Moeller's career highlights as a graduating senior. A hard working, blue collar guy who gave the Buffs his all.

He’s a three.

I like the idea of Newman at Jack. If he can hold 225 or 230 and keep most of his speed and agility he could be a really nice player. I really liked his highschool tape.

 

[buffaholic]

He’s a three.

He's a 3 what?

 

[J.R. Ewing]

He's a 3 what?

Too short for power forward?

 

[GoldenSkier]

He’s a three.

lol no. Did you not see him out there w the 1s? He's most likely going to be our starting left tackle and was in that position during the spring game.

 

[Back-the-Buffs]

Seeing that depth chart at safety is a bit worrisome. But if Aaron Maddox is fully healthy and Evan Worthington is too that'll at least give them 3 quality players at the safety position (Fisher)

I suspect that Isaac Lewis is a much better (and more ready) safety than most fans are aware of. He had one more scholarship offer than our PWOs, so that is understandable. But he was cited several times for making plays out there.

I'd hope he made some plays, the numbers required him to get a huge amount of snaps. I think it is safe to say he's not ready at this time based on not being listed by HCMM in the group who took a steps forward to being pac 12 players. He's a question mark at best at this time.

He made a bunch of plays at safety this Spring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Buffnik]

As a RS-Frosh all I want to see from Lewis in 2018 is that he's giving a good contribution on special teams and is able to get on the field in late game blowouts. That's my expectation. I don't want to see him forced into playing critical snaps on defense. That's also where I am with Rakestraw.

I think Trego is the guy I'd most trust right now as a backup. There are limitations there, but he's a sure tackler who will be correct in his assignments.

 

[Medford M.]

Hawg apparently didn't watch Jake look really good in the spring game.
