i'll probably incite the anger of fellow kamaaina, The Man. :hehe:
the following is just my personal opinion .....

he won't need to - he's not going to be in the nfl for long.
unfortunately, chang is really a product of the jj offense. it is my own belief that if tc were really
that good, he would've broken the record far earlier than he did. if he were really
that good, he would've been ready for the nfl in his junior year.
the guy's difficult to figure out. i'm not saying he's cr*p. he's loaded w/ talent - and all the more reason why i'm hard on him. he's spectacular on certain things, and yet struggles with some of the most basic of things. i attribute this to poor attitude and a lack of work ethic.
the nfl scouts are meticulous and if they review the tapes, i find it difficult to believe that they will be impressed. my prediction is that he will go no higher than the 4th round - even in a draft that doesn't have much talent as this one is going to be.
rolovich had better numbers, but unfortunately, was "cursed" with a receiver named 'ashley lelie'. if you had taken ashley away and given rolo the starting job from his freshman year, i think he probably could've had better numbers than tc and would probably be playing the nfl as a backup.
wanna know who i think is going in the nfl (from the warriors)? chad owens. 'mighty mouse' is the real deal. in a special teams that STUNK last year, he was able to make dazzling punt returns. as a receiver, he's extremely difficult to cover in the slot. his size is a detriment, but if scouts can see the heart in him, they'll know they've got a winner.
owens is also difficult to judge as well. what makes him so special is his desire to overachieve. it's awesome to see him at work, except when that overexertion sometimes causes him to fumble, field punts unnecessarily, lose yards, etc. if he can find a balance in his 'fire', he will be in the nfl as a starting kr/pr or even in the slot.
all that being said, the outlook for qb looks kinda bleak. and i'm not sure why. i find it difficult to believe that we cannot recruit a good qb from the country. maybe they want more exposure?
i've seen akina play - good accuracy, but happy feet. rhode and rolo's younger bro, jack? didn't look that good. i know that funoki guy (who was oia's POY in 2002) is supposed to play this season, but he looked a little short.
well, that's my piece.
