A while ago somebody asked for my thoughts on Stanley Hasiak so here are my thoughts on watching his video.

But before we go there, I guess I need to give some background info.

Stanley Hasiak is a huge 6'6" offensive lineman who is already 300+ pounds from Hawaii.  Rivals.com rates him as a 4 star recruit and one of the top offensive lineman recruits in the nation.  Hasiak was originally committed to UCLA but recently changed his verbal "commitment" to Cal.

So an amazing thing happened a few days ago.  No, not the fact that we beat UW in triple overtime.  But the fact that CBKWit actually wrote up a blog post!

Not being a guy to be outdone, since it's been a while since I've posted I've decided that I should write a post as well.  For those of you wondering where I have been lately, well, since LOST is starting up again, I got on a flight headed over a big ocean with the slim hopes that it would crash on a warm (seemingly) deserted tropical island with polar bears, big black ghostly clouds that killed people, and my very own Kate.  Unfortunately for me, my United flight did not crash.  It instead landed on a tropical island that was not deserted, did not have polar bears, did not have big black ghostly clouds that killed people, and there was not a Kate waiting for me as I disembarked the plane. 

On the positve side, I did get leied.  (Aren't my jokes epically better than TwistNHook's jokes???)

So now, I'm back on the mainland, and back in culinary school, and back to writing blog posts before TwistNHook fires me and hires Thoroughbred instead.  (Note to Thoroughbred: CHILL OUT). 

Last post, I gave my thoughts on new DL commit Deandre Coleman.

This time, I thought I might give my amateur thoughts on new OL commitment Charles Siddoway.

For those of you who don't know who he is, he's a mammoth 6'5" offensive tackle who weighs 300+ pounds already.  He runs a 5.2 second 40 yard dash, which is pretty damn good for a highschool kid of his weight and has a vertical jump of 25 inches which is decent.  Rivals.com rates Siddoway as a 3 star recruit and more specifically as a 5.7 point talent (more information).

My thoughts on his film after the jump...

So instead of doing a whole intro piece on explaining who is Deandre Coleman, I'll just point you to Bears with Fangs who wrote up a nice article on one of our latest football verbal commitments:

Cal received a commitment from defensive tackle Deandre Coleman last night. Coleman is a 4-star recruit according to Rivals.com, and is considered the 8th best defensive tackle prospect in the country, and the top prospect overall out of Washington.

The Seattle native will bring a sizable physical presence to the defensive line, listed at 6’4, 295 lbs. He will also be another Bears recruit to play in the US Army All-American game next month.

Coleman had given actually given Cal a soft verbal commit during the summer, before committing to Washington in August. The buzzkill that was Washington’s season was one of the factors that Coleman reconsidered however, and had also been recruited by schools such as LSU and Washington.

I thought I might take a look at the highlight reels of Deandre Coleman from Rivals.com.  Here's his Rivals.co profile with links to his highlight videos.  Note: to see his full profile and his highlights you'll need a premium subscription.  I can't replicate the videos without violating copyright law, so instead I'll just give my amateur opinion on his lone two and short highlight reels.
