Awful warm for February ...
I have faith in Peter North ...
Even better IMO that Oregon is taking these kind of middle of the pack OL so early in the recruiting process ... Helfrich is no Chip Kelly.
I'm not saying Petersen can't recruit with the big boys so don't go twisting. Just said he hasn't proven he can recruit on this stage yet. I mean look at Dan Hawkins for an example.
My silence on Urban Myer speaks volumes though.
I know nothing about Throckmorton. But I'm LIPO-ing this.
I think under the Pirate they are going to be like what Oregon State was under Reiley. Make consistent second tier bowls.
You get great Coog pressing such as that Bishop Sankey article where they claimed he'll be playing at Eastern in a year.
If we end up getting a sub par OL class, then losing Throckmorton will be a bigger issue than it is right now.
Petersen's resume suggests that there's no reason to worry until there's a reason to worry.
I think we've been so conditioned with such poor in-state recruiting in the last few years to worry about every person that we lose. But let's see who Petersen's going to get before we complain about guys like Throckmorton and Lemieux.
It's way too early in Peterman's time here to worry about one recruit. The reason Sark was bashed was because he lost the majority of worthy in state recruits. Losing a guy here and there is probably inevitable, but save the wdwha, it's great Oregon got him bullshit.
I know that star ratings are worth as much as a US lead in the 95th minutes of a World Cup game, but at the same time, I get the feeling with the evidence that we're gathering that Helfrich is far from Chip Kelly ... and I mean that in a good way from a UW perspective.
