    I felt like the supposed local Sark shade wasn't deserved for the most part and at the time there were some FSP types who were anti-UW and stoking it. DeBoer and co I think just didn't try and in slight defense the talent coming out of the state is abysmal compared to just even 10ish years ago.

    The vitriol for Sark was more a response to media and local "influencers" jacking him off at all times.

    I remember there was a bitterness which developed during the Sark years with in-state players. I think the thought was too that it's not like its expected UW recruits every in-state player but there's a way to be better about it and not just dismiss local guys. Sounds like DeBoer and company got even worse at that. It makes sense as I'm sure DeBoer and Sark didn't give a shit about long-term connections locally as both I'm sure wanted to bolt as soon as they got a good option.

    Just going by memory and my outsider perspective, it seemed like Sark offered all of the local guys and would take virtually any of them. Meanwhile he managed to alienate and piss off several while still hoping they'd come to UW.

    Deboer just didn't recruit many local guys at all.
    Of the 39 high school players recruited over 3 years, only 6 were from WA

    No one has typed out here more that they're concerned about the fall off in talent coming from this state. Still think they were doing a terrible job of recruiting it.

    Also, with the news today, you can -2 from the 2024 recruiting class.

    So that's 37 HS recruits over 3 classes

    According to my calculations that equals us being fucked.

    Fish is going to take 25-30 HS recruits next year alone. Probably another 10-15 in the portal. I’ll have to dig out and dust off my old, crusty sweats. Haven’t really had them out since 2020. Me thinks it may be a fun TBS year on Montlake.

    You better have your mom reinforce the crotch on those crusty old sweats while you’re at it
