Good. Now that we agree, go delete that fudge Vidlak thread! :lol:

Moving forward, I'm going with name titles when applicable.
Egriz needs to go back to the roots, before members got soft.
 
Tell me more about the kid? As someone else asked is he a burner, slot receiver, possession guy?? What has you excited?
 
" AT WASHINGTON

2021: Played in 11 of 12 games in 2021 – all games other than vs. UCLA ... made a special teams tackle in the win at Stanford and another vs. Oregon ... made two tackles vs. Arizona State ... one tackle in the WSU game.

2020: Played in two games as a true freshman ... saw his first action as a Husky in the Arizona game ... also played vs. Stanford.

HIGH SCHOOL

Missed his senior season due to injury ... led Hockinson to back-to-back Washington 2A State Championships in 2017 and 2018 … eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first three seasons, including 1,764 yards on 101 receptions and 21 touchdowns as a junior … also had 207 rushing yards and 11 TDs and made 88 tackles, 11 tackles for loss and made two interceptions on defense … named to the Tacoma News-Tribune all-state team (all levels) as a junior in 2018 ... scored all six of his team's TDs in the 2018 2A state title game ... just the fifth player in state history with 100 or more receptions in a season ... also first-team All-2A Greater St. Helens League as a junior ... made 66 catches for 1,345 yards and 21 touchdowns as a sophomore and 56 catches for 1,055 yards and 11 touchdowns as a freshman … ranked the No. 21 "athlete" prospect in the nation and the No. 9 recruit in Washington by 247Sports ... rated the state's No. 8 recruit and the nation's No. 50 "athlete" by ESPN ... named to the Tacoma News-Tribune's "Western 100" ... participated in the shot put, long jump and sprints for his track team in high school ... also lettered in baseball and basketball ... father, Josh, played quarterback at Portland State, where he was coached by Chris Petersen ... brother, Canon, plays quarterback at Central Washington … coached by Rick Steele."

"Size: At 6-foot-2 and 208 pounds, Racanelli is the bigger wide receiver that the Huskies have been seeking over the past half a decade.

Strength: Coming into college at over 200 pounds as a receiver puts Racanelli in a different category. He plays like a linebacker and can overpower defensive backs.

Speed: His straight-line speed is not blinding, but he has quick feet. He changes direction well and separates from the DB.

Hands: Racanelli has excellent hands. He can catch every ball thrown from fades to bullets across the middle. He handles the ball with his hands before bringing it into his body.

Feet: Racanelli separates himself as a receiver with his deliberate footwork. He runs tight routes and can stop very quickly. He makes quick cuts and runs precise routes that get him open.

Football IQ: His football foundation is solid. Racanelli shows his understanding of the game by how he runs his routes. He disguises his moves until he explodes away from the coverage.

1. Vidlak and Brown looked for him several times.

2. He made tough contested catches, at all levels (high, chest, and low).
He made a catch in between 2 defenders.

3. He's not afraid of contact, blocks aggressively.

4. He likes getting his uniform dirty.

5. Solid route runner.

6. Great hands

7. Good size- 6'3", 215 lbs and uses that size well.

8. He looks to have solid speed too. If not fast, he's quick for his size.

I'm not sure how long it will take him, but I won't be surprised if he breaks out as the season progresses. You'll have to check out practice if you can.

He impressed me.

I didn't read this, before posting about what I liked. From what I saw, this is accurate.
 
We could have used him last year. The players call the qb club members occasionally. He was my call. Seemed like a great kid. Just wanted to get healed and back on field.

This was the kind of plays he made in the practice I watched.
To note: His uniform is always dirty. This guy is talented and he plays with grit.
