Puppy Chow - Kelemete Starting at DT

"I've covered good football coaches and bad ones. I've covered pleasant ones and prickly ones. But I've never seen one quite like Tyrone Willingham."

In a perfect world they would just allow Molly Yanity to read softball questions during the conference from a prepared and approved script. I wonder if DM's Chris Fetters is still running the stairs for asking the EJ Savannah questions?

Senio Kelemete

Senio Kelemete has defied all reasonable odds by becoming a starter at DT after coming to camp almost a couple of weeks late. That means one of two things.

1. The kids that were there before he arrived were not very good.
2. The coaches project Kelemete as a future All American candidate.

It seems to be more of number two because Kelemete showed up to camp in absolutely perfect shape and has a motor similar to Daniel Teo Nesheim. Sources are telling me that Kelemete is the best looking Husky DL since JWF was a freshman.

Alameda Ta'amu isn't all that far behind and will also see a lot of action this year. He also hit camp in good shape despite weighing in close to 350 pounds. Look for Washington to try to play a rotation of at least eight defensive linemen this year in an effort to keep everyone fresh and keep attacking the ball.

Nathan Ware

"The question of the day is "how did UW end up with 2 true freshmen in their starting lineup for the season opener on the road?". I'm OK with TB Chris Polk starting the game. By all accounts, he's a freak of nature. But, the fact that Senio Kelemete is starting at DT speaks to how the other DT played during training camp."

Nathan - I think Kelemete is going to be a player right out of the box.

Craig Noble

The Huskies will receive word one way or another today on if Craig Noble passed his California Exit Exam test. Since he has missed the entire camp it is likely he will red shirt or delay enrollment until January.
