Pete’s last two classes had a top 10 average in rating per recruit. They were too small to make top ten but the quality of the 18-20 kids they closed was undeniably high end recruiting. Fishdicks classes look more like Pete’s first few. Some studs at top and a lot of mid rated, well offered, high upside players. You can win enough to make playoffs with classes like that if you can develop. IMHO You need the bigger names if you actually want to win some playoff games though.
He’s doing pretty darn good. Certainly better the DeHoer. Gotta improve on the defensive trenches though. That’s just not good enough. Winning will help a lot but not sure winning alone can help Kafusi.
I always thought Judd was a recruiter and it was one of the reasons he was the top realistic guy on my board. With the holes Jimmy's no recruiting, DeBoer's limited recruiting, and the post-2023 exodus left, we had to hire someone who could TBS, and hard.
I thought his first class was a bit underwhelming but it now looks like they needed some Tim to get away from the stink of the early-2024 nightmare, develop some culture, get NIL inline, and get reads down.
Feels like if they can start winning 10+ games we could be back up to top Peterman level. Just in Tim for Judd to take another job.
If we keep all our current commits and get a good chunk of the remaining top guys on the board who are serious targets now, is that our "greatest class in history?" It's not happening, so why am I even asking?
Technically the class would include 3-5 5 stars so probably? But we’re not taking/getting 3 more DBs (Moa, Benjamin, and Arrington). If we get Givens, Umu Cais, Moa, Benjamin, Moala, Madden Williams, David S, Miree/Wesley, etc. I’d probably be fine with calling it the best class in the modern era.
no. From a ratings perspective some people had the Reggie williams class as a top 5. Of course they did the end of season rerank and moved it down. But still. That class underwhelmed anyways.
Ratings are for tbs'rs. Just get rare humans that like football, most of the time those guys are highly rated but now always.
Past staffs jizzed their pants over getting Marcus peters, laiatu latu, Taylor Rapp, Braylon Trice, Vita Vea and Sydney Jones for example. Some of them were 4 stars and some were not, but they were top targets regardless.
It's so obvious Judd wants an NFL gig or top tier SEC gig he will be gone if one is offered, that it might have circled around the probability scale and he ends up here a decade.
Sort of like with politics where you go so far left you end up on the far right. Or something.

I feel like Judd personally closed DCB.

I was told Judd couldn't recruit

stars matter… as does development. But I like stars better.

to expand. Those peterman classes were the foundation of deboners 25-3.
I like to see 90+ in star whore rating. Peterlips did it, so can fisher of boys, just maybe not this year.
Some of the "insiders" on dawgman are claiming they are "hearing things" that suggest UW having "the best recruiting class in school history"
Sounds “gay” to me.
Will it be cataclysmic?
Doomed. This class will now finish outside the top 40. Cook it
What in the fuck is an Insider on Dawgman? Fleen?
Huh?
LRR
They've trotted that line out every couple of years going back to Neuheisel. It's amazing.
But also…things change.
$10.95 please…and shut the fuck up.👍🏻
the class before sark left was gonna be epic bro!!
good thing Pete came In and got all his low rated 3stars like Gaines, dissly and pettis or we would have been screwed.

If he is even a good coach.
Hypotheticals.
