That's one big dude. Welcome.

When a bradduh says he is “delighted “ to be a warrior, just gotta smile yeh? Could this be UH’s first ever player from London? I think it’s pretty cool. The Union Jack on the Hawaii flag will relate to him well. Bradduh is huge too. I’m sure Coach Roman will get him right with the mechanics and footwork. He’s a giant.

Waiting to see if this international recruit pans out

Honestly, his lack of quickness isn't something that will change. He might improve with explosive, plytomterics type exercises, but slow feet is cryptonite to an OT.

So recruiting is going to be a fun job now cause they get to go on a European vacation. I'm sure that are lots of big boys over in Europe, Eastern Europe and Russia. You can't coach size, but can coach everything else. No different than UH targeting New Zealand for Ruby players.

I wonder if special teams would consider using Pelling as a kick blocker in the middle of the line like how previous regimes used tall players in the past? Tua Mahaley comes to mind, as well as several others.

Problem with recruiting Project players is the timeline toward contribution is years. Good when you are a successful program, very iffy for programs with an urgency to win now

Agreed. He's a big, pleasant fellow. But his stills are lacking. He's a project.

His pass pro techniques and footwork has improved from last year. But he still has so much more to improve especially with his quickness and explosiveness. Unfortunately I don't see him getting any playing time in the foreseeable future.

Not trying to be funny, but I can see him benefitting from chasing a chicken like Rocky Balboa did - and thereby improve footwork.
