Hey Gasm, I don't have my copy with me, but would you mind telling me where Phil has CSU on his PowerPoll? I believe it's toward the back of the magazine. I thought it was 106.

Well Tonga was a 2 year starter on the JuCo national championship team. Originally signed with Arizona State and spurned Oregon State for us this year.
Curtis Wilson has played for us the last two years.
Good thing its a 3-4 and we'll only need 2 or maybe 3 of them
Shaq Walker is a true freshmen who had NO ranking in the Rivals database, so it seems like a guy who might need to redshirt
Tonga isn't guaranteed to get in.
Curtis Wilson played in all 12 games last year, pulling down 2 solo tackles, and 10 assists. Looks like his 2 total tackles were sacks.
Tucci hasn't actually played a down yet.

Nevermind, I found it. #107 in the country.
Walker - True Frosh, listed at 320.
Wilson - Listed at 265 on the ram website.
Frentescu - True Frosh; in boot and not practicing.
Tucci - RS Soph never played as far as the bio goes in a quick skim.
Tonga - Not been cleared to play, not practicing.

Sounds like you are:
a) fudging your #s (lying)
b) depending on untested unknown players
c) depending on injured players
d) listing players that aren't even on the team yet.
:rofl: Jesus you take sunshine pumping to a whole new level.
Tonga hasn't been cleared yet, but his transcripts come in tomorrow I believe. Apparently he is doing well in his math class (the only one he needs, but otherwise he's cleared).
a 300lb DL who has never played a snap is better than a 250lb DT like we've had the last few years
You beat me to it but gasm is throwing out a bunch of hopes and wishes and calling them more talented. Looks like he needs to know his team and players better. GASM, your game and smack is weak.
Unless the 300 lb is carrying 50+ pounds of fat and isn't athletic enough for D1 ball. Lots of dudes are big. Very few are big and athletic.
Shaq Barrett-Nuff said
James Skelton-Nuff said
Max Morgan and Aaron Davis were big contributers last year as Freshmen
Davis Burl and Broderick Sargent-3 year contributers. Will be good rush LB/DE in the 3-4
Brent Williams-Original Washington signee (hasn't played yet though)
Charles Favors-2 year special teams contributer
Some nice experience returning and CSU always had good linebackers so....
*cough*Richter*cough*
Apparently good enough for Arizona State and Oregon State.
It is highly likely that every 300lb DL carries at least 50+lbs of fat so I'm not sure what you're getting at
Apparently good enough for 100 tackles, 2nd team MWC by Phil Steele's and top LB rating from Phil Steele's.
Good one.
This 3 -4 stuff is good news for the Buffs IMO. If their NT doesn't command a double team, then we are going to have OL hitting the second level, and we will also have PowPow hitting the second level - hopefully opening up some BIG holes. I also think it will make them susceptible to play-action passes and screens towards the blitzing LB
I'm suggesting your lightly recruited 300 pound DL may not actually be anything but big and fat.
Also, Tonga isn't even on the team. :lol:. Hope for his sake he makes it in.
A lightly recruited 300lb DL is better than a lightly recruited 250lb DL.
Tonga and Shaq Walker were highly recruited, for CSU standards
Shaq Walker's best offer was Kansas. Other offers inlcude Southern Alabama, Georgia St., Georgia Southern,
Rivals shows 1 BCS offer (OSU) for Tonga and then one visit on 1/21 to Oregon State. He committed to CSU on 1/31...
Reading the tea leaves there, he didn't have that offer long. Either they didn't like what they saw on the visit, or got osmeone else, or didn't like his academics.
Should be interesting to see how long Tonga has to wait to get in. It is rare for someone to get in this late. He might miss a LOT of camp.
Well its still the Pac-12 and its still a massive upgrade over what CSU has had recently
At least the services rated him. Highly recruited for CSU. Like that newest bball recruit with 16 offers that OMFG is claiming is a big time recruit proving that CSU is a destination school for big time kids. (not a single major, with CSU basically being the biggest school to offer)
If he's good enough for Tim Miles, larry Eustachy and 16 other programs, he is good enough for me. 16 offers is a LOT for a basketball recruit
That is meaningless in this discussion. Lots can change over 2 years.
So - let me just ask you this. In your opinion, tell me where you think the advantages fall in the following
Defense
CSU DL vs CU DL
CSU LB vs CU LB
CSU CB vs CU CB
CSU S vs CU S
Offense
CSU OL vs CU OL
CSU QB vs CU QB
CSU RB/FB vs CU RB/FB
CSU TE vs CU TE
CSU WR vs CU WR
Matchups
CSU DL vs CU OL
CSU OL vs CU DL
CSU LB vs CU RB
CSU RB cs CU LB
CSU WR vs CU CB/S
CSU QB vs CU CB/S
CSU CB/S vs CU QB
