If you back out the LS commit and extrapolate Petersen's current commits, he's hitting at ~40% of getting 4-star players (using Scout as the main source on this; 2 of his current list on Rivals and 3 on ESPN). If you extrapolate that to a full class of 25, that's ~10 4-star or higher recruits in a class.
As a point of reference, that's Sark's best class (but as we all know a number of them flamed out for whatever reason).
Moreover, I think every Husky fan in their right mind would be very happy with recruiting classes that contained 8-10 4-star or higher players in each class.
At some point people will realize that peterman does more with 3* guys who actually play and stick around vs the 4* guys sark brought in and left or never played/developed. These rankings as a whole are ridiculous. Just another way to sell mags and page views
Hearing other Pac-12 assistants be critical of Petersen's recruiting instills me with hope, especially since it sounds like these assistants are going after edgy, national recruits (and probably losing out).
So somebody posted this on doogman and it became a 5 page thread. Here's why:
1) After the original post, there's a page of follow ups discussing how stupid the article is and how it's not based in reality (Pete has signed 9 4^ players since becoming coach). THread should have ended. 2) Somewhere on the 2nd page of the thread ENTER KIM GRINOLDS: "Lot's of experts feel this way. Petersen's recruiting raises some eyebrows. Can his OKG recruiting lead to Pac-12 championships? We'll see. Many have questions and you guys seem to always get defensive when people ask those questions." 3) Eventually F3, of all people, put Kim in his place, but Kim's OKG recruiting acolytes still carried on for 4 more pages
