IntuitiveGriz said:Beau Braden visited the Griz in HS, but wasn't extended a scholarship offer.
So he took the Preferred Walk-on offer from Washington State.
Braden basically got an NFL education in practice at WSU as he was on the scout team, going against future 1st Round Offensive Tackle(s), while Braden was a FR and R-FR.
The kid is big and mobile, reminds me of the transfer the kitties just had (UW Bryce Sterk -2020 Miami Dolphins rookie, Height: 6-4. Age: 23. Weight: 262 )

That’s a pretty bold comparison.

How come? When you guys got Sterk no one (and I mean no one) there or here or anywhere knew if he’d be a great player or excellent addition for the cats. Hell he didn’t really take snap for Washington or play in any games so it was a total crap shoot. I don’t see how that is very different than this situation.

Sterk is a freak athlete who had multiple full ride FBS offers coming out of high school. He was buried on the depth chart at UW behind 4* guys, many of whom were drafted to the league.
In high school competed in the 100, 200, 300 hurdles, shot, disc and the 400 and 1600 relays.
When he showed up in Bozeman he looked different that any other dude on the team and everyone (Colter, Choate, Gregorak, etc) was raving about how this guy would dominate the big sky (which he did).
I think someone posted above that UM didn’t even offer this guy a scholarship out of high school so he walked on at wsu.
So yeah, the comparison is bold.

Almost as bold as comparing Travis Lulay to Dave Dickenson
Just out of morbid curiosity, what do you guys still have left for Udub transfers? They brought in that Clark kid I know? Are Williams and Scrempos still there?wbtfg said:Grizbballfan14 said:Almost as bold as comparing Travis Lulay to Dave Dickenson
You’ll have to take that comparison up with CFL all star offensive Lineman, Angus Reid. Who I’d compare to JD Quinn.

Wow I forgot Scrempos was a UDub guy too. That was quite a haul for you guys. Will you be playing guys Choate recruited out of high school on the D Line for the first time? Or do you have more transfers coming in?SACCAT66 said:Griz til I die said:Just out of morbid curiosity, what do you guys still have left for Udub transfers? They brought in that Clark kid I know?

Williams is still there. Scrempos graduated I believe.
