Example of guys who would (would have been) be good as that complementary slot:

Makoa Camanse-Stevens (6’4″ downfield possession guy).
Dylan Collie (Unselfish complementary route runner, good in and out of space, if you can handle a drop or two)
Kanawai Noa (Good playmaking possession type skillset)
Kumoku Noa (Good at creating space in short routes. Maybe next year??)

Watching Sarsh on video you can see he is good at working the underneath “stuff”. Low catches are kind of his “thing” (possession specialist) When he does cut his route upfield (deep middle) he usually seems to be what looks like a “decoy” drawing the safety so the other slot can break open. It happened several times vs Arizona so Byrd was iso middle deep making a lot of big plays. Versus OSU Sarsh was the iso more often than Byrd. Sarsh has a hard time (mostly with his balance I think) making up field plays and catching the ball in “stride”. But he needed (and can do eventually) to make those reads then catches. Stovall changed the structure and scheme when he replaced Sarsh but I don’t think (I don’t know actually, hard to tell right now) his running style sets up others real good. Not as good as Sarsh I think. But he is a way more explosive playmaker in that spot. Thus the dilemma for Rolo. I think Phillips can rotate in that spot as well giving the 4 wide an even different dimension (way, way faster than either of them). Heck maybe eventually (phase III) rotate a TE in that spot (think Clark Evans or Harold Moleni on short yardage package). That spot has a lot of possibilities moving forward. Can do. Unreal the Run and Shoot.

Watching the videos on youtube Stovall has remarkable vision. The sample size is small but he seems to set up runs without needing much “burst”. He starts off returns at what looks like a medium-fast (faster than your normal “set up your blocking”) speed so he gets up on you pretty quick. His cuts are “hard” and not real “clean” so his balance looks “anykine” but you can see his change of direction messing up coverage lanes. His running style (“anykine”) is going to be hard to prepare for unless coverage teams are athletic (like OSU’s kicker, nice play). Unreal vision (the ability to see how and when a certain cut will create a workable crease).

I’m not only talking about MWC vs PAC12 in my thought, but Wyoming beat the sports pundits dark horse pick to make a new year six bowl the SEC Missouri Tigers. The MWC beat teams from the ACC, Big10 and PAC12, maybe not the elite teams from those conferences but teams that usually beat MWC teams. Think teams like Fresno, Nevada, Utah State are in rebuilding years but still did pretty well against the non-elite P5 teams. Only Boise State usually wins these games or at least keeps it respectable.

The fall of the WAC has already started a recruiting talent balance between MWC vs many P5 schools. It will continue to climb with only 2 West Coast D1 conferences…

More national exposure for UH – “StanfordSteve” Coughlin was wearing a retro green UH Rainbow t-shirt on tonight’s ESPN Sportcenter with Scott Van Pelt broadcast.

We went into UCLA & byu with momentum the last couple years. Hopefully this year will have a different outcome.

Pac12 isn’t having a down year. They have been regarded as one of the worst power 5 conferences for the past 3-5 years. They are mainly top heavy with uw as the only legitimate national threat.
