5* OL - Joshua Garnett

What could UW be telling these guys? What have they done the past decade to give them any sort of recruiting leverage in the state of Washington? Sark must be one helluva storyteller...

What are you talking about? Perhaps you have missed every offseason when they officially announce themselves as "back". Maybe you missed Jake Locker's pre-season accolades as well? What about that winning season they squeaked out last year? Did you miss that too?

They did just win the Holiday Bowl, which means that they are bacK.

Kennedy was asked on his show about recruiting and if he would have an influence on his son's choice and he said he would be fine with anyone but Oregon. He said cause of possible sanctions, the playing style because it doesn't prepare players for the NFL and is essentially a "fluff" offense. .......Basically just seemed like he had his purple and gold goggles on and couldn't take them off when it came to Oregon but could be impartial otherwise

It's not like UW was clean either. And to say Oregon's offense wouldn't prepare him to play in the NFL, I'd say Oregon's zone blocking scheme is used pretty much by every NFL team. As for the "fluff" offense, he should ask any Pac-10 school or even Oklahoma State is Oregon is a physical team because every one of those said Oregon was.

It's just a preconceived notion everyone has about Oregon and I don't think it's going to go away. Even though we were just a notch below Auburn in our physicality in that game and Stanford didn't look too big and strong against us.......I compare it to the Mavericks this year. Myself and everyone else thought they were the same old no defense finesse team but after seeing them beat the Blazers and roll to the title they changed my opinion.

Also our O-lineman are in better shape coming out of college than any other school. They are strong and quick which I think would be an advantage.

I could maybe, maybe see someone saying that the spread doesn't prepare a QB for NFL play but other positions it doesn't matter nearly as much...a receiver still has to catch, a RB still has to find holes and break tackles and o-lineman still need to block. So really the only hindrance is the QB not taking snaps from under center.

What outsiders do not realize is that we simply have been coaching up prospects to their highest potential, and most of the time these guys haven't been incredibly talented. If we continue to add more talented offensive linemen like Andre Y, Johnstone, Fisher, etc then we will start to pump out NFL talent at the offensive line.

Oregon's system really helps to cover up a lot of the less talented and/or physically impressive players. Now that Oregon is starting off with better talent (according to the recruiting services), we'd hope the system works better and the players develop into contributors faster.

Yah, just to throw this out there, if we can get one of Kyle Murphy and Andreus peat, and one or two of Garnett, Simmons and Banner, then we would be completely set at OL for the next few years. That would be INSANE.

My goal is to get Garnett, Banner, and Simmons.

Our last O-Line class was also very impressive. I like what the future holds on our offensive line.
