Cooper gives some very behind the scenes views to Petersen and recruiting in general as well as specific situations during his time here. Couple honest thoughts about UW vs UO and their differences.

    Pete was great recruiter when he wanted to be.

    They thought they had Charbonnet in the bag.

    Jimmy Lake fired him and was a shit boss.

    His favorite thing about DeBoer's recruiting is his offense isn't shit.

    Cristobol took players just to boost his neckbeard rankings.

    Oregon is all Uncle Phil and when he sells the couch their entire program will be engulfed in a southern Oregon wildfire.

    As rivals UW and UO are completely different and UW shouldn't try to emulate anything they do in recruiting/branding.

    Actually a really good podcast and was pretty surprised by his candor. I definitely agree with Washington needing to be Washington to beat out Oregon and not chasing them. My main worry/question is if getting guys who want to live in Seattle in the 2020s means you're getting guys who don't live, sleep, eat, shit football and it's only a step up from going to play school.

    True but there are enough Odunzes and Pettis' that would rather drive their BRZs around Seattle instead of South Bend or Norman

    Who was the wr recruit he was talking about that he thought they had to have to get the current room to not be soft that Pete refused to offer?

    They made it sound obvious but I dont know wtf they're talking about.

    Anyways fuck Pete for that.

    I just listened and that was my question as well. Two guys that came to mind were Bru McCoy and Ford who ended up at SC (forgot first name). Just guesses though. Maybe Franklin at Oregon would be a decent guess.

    Also said Henry Toot Toot tried to commit to UW 3 different times

    Not nearly as bad as Cal and Stanford obviously, but it seems the academis is getting to be a real challenge.
