    Since Greg Biggins is posting almost daily in the UW Recruiting board, what use is Scott. I do like it when Eklund makes a post and an hour later Biggins jumps in and says "hmmm I hadn't heard that". Also, on the basketball board there is some guy named Jason who posts in there daily and is obviously way more connected than that Beach guy

    Beach is fucking terrible and adds nothing. The biggest homer of the fanbase is the head of hoops at Dawgman. He's nothing more than a fan, and a retarded fan at that. He takes every chance he can get to bag on Sean Miller and Arizona, when in reality, their program is easily in the best shape of all the Pac 12 programs.

    Jason has relationships with area players, and is way more connected to the local hoops scene then Beach will ever be. He is even friendly with Romar and sits by him at high school and AAU games. My only complaint with Jason is he is very biased towards the players he is friendly with.

    I agree with you, but the problem is, why didn't you send this letter directly to him? Anybody can PM Dicklund. But if you think Eklund is the only one doing this you are blind.

    Every major Scout site in the country has these dingus fuckers, who pester these poor kids. Its sad yes. I wish we could just put a quiet period on scout and Rivals. These dumbshits are getting in the way of a young kids ability to sit down and think about their future. Fuck I'm tired of these journalist wannabe dicksticks asking these kids to name "a top 5". Fuck Me, its JULY

I called BS and Fetters called me on it saying he chooses to believe what the kid says. Fine, that is what he said. It's what they all say. But, it didn't take much to understand he was really saying bye bye.

    Two things 1) what fun would it be to send it to SE directly? And 2) Good point on it being July. However, you could crisp up the post by saying " it's awfully warm for February"

    Reading Beach defend his premise that Miller is a "terrible" coach is just stupefying.

    And he defends it endlessly - in the face of overwhelming objective evidence to the contrary. He and doogman are a perfect fit.

    Eklund's reporting during the last recruiting cycle was absolutely awful, and showed that he has no journalistic integrity (if you can call him a journalist). In some cases, I believe he was simply making things up to make Husky fans happy. Let's take a trip back down memory lane, shall we:

    Myles Jack: probably his biggest fuck up. Though Jack made it clear to everyone in the media that he was going to UCLA and was not looking around, Scott insisted in blog after blog not to believe what you hear, that he knew about the "inside goings on" of the situation and that he would switch to UW

    Mattingly and the other kid they called "idiot": By far the low point of Dawgman. Again, Scott insisted for weeks that both of these kids were going to switch to UW and that they were essentiall "in the bag". When it didn't happen, Kim started calling them idiots and dragging them and their families through the mud publicly.

    Nico Falah: Committed to USC early. Publicly claimed to be solid to USC. Scott says he was in the bag for UW. No dice.

    Vanderdoes: Out of nowhere, Scott claimed him to be a UW lean a week before signing day. All other media said that UW was running a distant 4th or 5th.

    Patrick Enewally: In a rare reverse-Eklund, Scott reported that Enewally had some "idiot-tendencies" and had burned all his bridges at UW. Magically, he ended up signing with UW on signing day.

    One other thing about Eklund is that he is also a huge fan of the delete button any time someone questions where he is getting his information. While Kim at least engages and argues his side (as stupid as it usually is), Scott simply deletes the thread so no one else sees it.

    We could talk about the dawgman guys' blunders all day, but let me add to this post. When Enewally was wavering, not only was he an idiot, but Scott said that Enewally was the worst D-1 prospect out of Gahr in years.

    I then pointed out to Scott that Josh Perkins was from Gahr and Enewally was a much higher rated recruit with a way better offer list than Perkins. I had a couple other examples of two star guys from Gahr that went Pac 12 and told Scott to stop making shit up only because it looked like Enewally wasn't coming to UW.

    I was then kicked out of chat and banned for a day. Kim then had a post about abusing the staff. All I did was rightfully call Eklund out for his bullshit. Everyone has similar stories like this one. Those guys ar

    Rather than pile on with the same points, I'll add something different: eklund always provides his "insight" on high school athletes after he "breaks down" film and "performs analysis" at summer camps.

    But what business does eklund have evaluating talent? What proven skills as an evaluator does he bring to the table?

    Nobody at dawgman knows a fucking thing about football. That's why I went to practices myself for the last 25 years. You want something done right, do it your fucking self. Done rely on a bunch of band dorks and art majors (race) to deliver insight. Fuck, no wonder there's so many tards on this board. Fetters brainwashed you dipshits for so long.

    I love this...the idea that Kim apparently has his finger on the pulse of everything that is going on with everything.

    We're talking about a program we don't even cover, for crying out loud.

    Kim offered up what he had been hearing. He didn't have to.

    Maybe from now on he shouldn't. If I was in his shoes I wouldn't. I mean, why bother? What's the upside, other than getting your brains beaten in by people questioning his integrity?

    Rip on me all you like, call me whatever you want to make you feel better - but we've never lied about anything and never put a pretense on that we knew more than anyone else about this. And we've always said as much.

    If you can't handle the rumor mill, my suggestion is to get off the internet.

    I'm done.

    This quote is Gold. So basically what Fetters is saying is that if he were Kim he wouldn't give the product the customers payed for.

    Brilliant.

    Terry Dell, Fleenor, AAndy, Ladyhawks and a couple other "insiders" aka cock sucking groupies agree with you, Chris. Why would they share what they hear if people bash and abuse them when they are wrong? I for one, love all the rumors and inside info we get and would be sad if these guys no longer share what you are hearing. Don't let the jerks ruin all the fun.

    Terry Dell? Terry fucking Dell an "insider"? If Terry Dell says he is an insider or....better yet - if anyone even jokes around about Terry Dell being an insider they ought to dip their junk in gasoline, light a match, and place it on their scrotum. Being Softy's neighbor and claiming insider status gives you the right to look like a fucking dumbass.

    I never knew he was Softy's neighbor. That's funny stuff. When HuskyJW bid dawgman farewell, Terry Dell got upset and said stuff like this (everyone calling idiot Kim out) will make him and others hesitant about sharing what they hear with the board in the future.

    Beach gets things wrong and is a homer. His Miller hatred is odd. But unlike the rest of the crew Beach will own it when he's wrong. He's repeatedly mentioned how wrong he was on Gordon's recruitment and on Suggs' lack of ability, for example. He'll call himself out and even make fun of himself at times.

    I guess I'm saying the differences between Beach and the stooges are:

    1. Humility
    2. Humility
    3. Humility

    Agree with this. The best way to make dawgman irrelevant is to stop paying for it.
