UW "building best WR corps in nation!"

PassionPassion Member Posts: 4,622
edited July 2013 in Hardcore Husky Board
It's interesting. Getting elite WRs doesn't seem to be a problem. However, missing out on top flight OLs brings quotes like "sometimes kids just want to leave the state," or "we're just not all the way back yet." It's a simple question: If we can get elite players at one or two positions (i.e., QB and WR), why can't we get them at others (heh hem OL & interior DL)?

The link below quotes one of our new WR commits as saying that we're "building the best WR corps in the nation." Well, at least we have our priorities straight.

    Yet going into year 5 we still have no clue who our #2 WR is going to be.

    Player development matters more than recruiting. Always has, always will.

    It is extremely odd that we do so well recruiting WR's when we are so clearly terrible at developing them. I'm cautiously optimistic that Kiesau is an upgrade at WR coach, but that's like saying Sark is an upgrade over Ty.

    "It's just a tough spot to fill (lineman), probably the toughest. Few really elite players to go around on the West Coast. Many would tell you that's one of the biggest differences right now between the SEC and other conferences, that the SEC states simply seem to produce more interior linemen."
    Sincerely,
    Bob C.

    I love that go to line by Doogs nevermind Stanford's 2012 class had 5 stud OL and UCLA this past year just picked up a ton of stud OL. They simply can't admit that Sark can't/won't recruit quality OL and must make excuses like "It's hard to recruit OL on the west coast".

    On the plus side, we're developing quarterbacks with good scrambling skills.

    And the ability to quickly throw the ball out of bounds on 3rd and 2 before they get slammed. Shane Brostek also got really good at backwards ice skating last year.

    Please stop saying "white trash". It's racist and somewhat offensive.

    For years Oregon couldn't recruit, now they can.
    For years Stanford couldn't recruit, now they can.
    For years Washington could recruit, now they can't.

    It's a fucking unfathomable mystery that no one could ever hope to understand. Oh wait, it's coaching.

    You don't have a full understanding of what is going on. You need to dig a little deeper.

    Hello PassionDoog.

    AZDuck's point was that there are OL recruits out there to be had, UW just isn't getting them.

    HTH
    Yah...right...that was his point. He could've posted a link to the 2013 recruiting classes of any number of different schools that signed better OLs that UW. Instead he focused on oregon, and yet you're gullible enough to think there was no subtle jab being taken.

    And regarding doucheman.com, one of their many stupid policies is that they've come down on Husky Fans that don't take kindly to oregon fans posting thinly veiled insults on doucheman message boards. They say that it's "rude" and they "won't tolerate it." But hey, if you and kim want to be chummy with trash fans that take swipes, that's your business.

    Stop being such a fucking Doog already. He used Oregon as an example for three reasons:
    1. He's a Duck fan.
    2. Same geographical area, so that excuse goes away.
    3. Washington used to be Oregon's rival.


    As for Doogman, they've openly encouraged insults to Ducks for years. Does the name Chipocrit ring a bell?

    Offensive to who? Certainly not me, and I'm white.

    And it's not racist. You can make an argument that it's "racially insensitive" or "prejudiced," but it's not racist. Racism equals power, and whites as a group are not hurt by the flows of society.

    His screen name is "azduck". Which seems to imply that he is a Duck fan. It's fair to assume that he has more knowledge about Duck recruiting than of other teams. If the Ducks offensive line recruiting proved the point he was trying to make why would he reference another schools recruiting? He should research another schools offensive line commits to show his point instead of using the example he is already aware of? All to avoid offending your delicate sensibities?
