Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

you can thank Miles for running Taylor off

Couldnt get ball to him. He was our Pat reddick going forward. Huge loss for next year.

    Or, he's just a Sark-lovin' quitter...

    Miles couldn't get the ball to half the receivers. So, they should have all left the team.

    Aint no shit blood!

    It's a loss but not a huge loss...I'm sure he was a nice kid but players like him are a dime a dozen.

    Rosters all across college football are littered with Kendyl Taylor's.

    I have to disagree here. During the Husky combine or whatever he was one of the top performers. So was Kevin King, but when Kendyl was on the field he made fucking plays. Showed great ball skills and natural running ability after the catch.

    I'm down for the mass exodus, but this directly affects the team in a position of great need moving forward.

    There is nothing to disagree with. Kevin King was the top performer of the husky combine. That is a fact. So was Kendyl, except he seemed to translate that athleticism into playmaking abitlity.


    Edit: Here's the link to the combine results from the Seattle Times as a refresher. http://blogs.seattletimes.com/huskyfootball/2014/05/20/uw-receiver-john-ross-clocks-a-4-29-second-40-yard-dash-at-husky-combine/

    You never want to lose your best athletes, but if they don't produce who cares. This is a case where we lose one of our best athletes, and in his limited opportunities produced, so it's no bueno. I haven't heard any rumblings about him being a cancer or anything, just sucks he didn't buy in because we could use more playmakers next year, not less.

    What's funny in a poke you eye out with a fork kind of way is that despite Neu and Sark being legends for recruiting billions of wideouts we never seem to have any worth a shit. And both were well known as great recruiters.

    As much as I am not a miley lover, smith is just as much to blame for WR's not seeing the ball. Pull the qb if he can't make passes, use the skills your qb does have to get your wr's the ball, or get the fuck out of town.

    I wanted him and I think he's a decent player, but I agree. It's not that big of deal.

    Gonna drop some insider knowledge. I knew it weeks ago, but couldn't poast here.

    Just talked to one of Kendyl's family friends. Says KT (I call him that, means we tight) didn't like Pete. Says alot of the team doesn't like Pete. I pointed out it seemed like Danny Shelton seemed to like Pete. Was told Danny Shelton ain't no Steve Empterman (told this by an ex player no less)

    I said it seemed like alot of Sark guys were pussies and Pete was too tough for them. There really wasn't a response to that. Kendyl seemed like a nice enough kid, and knew the only way he was going to get to the "league" (that's what we call the NFL) was to get 100 catches and that wasn't going to happen here. So NAU, and 100 catches, here they come.

    So yeah, in a way, Miley chased him away. If Miley would have gotten him the ball 100 times, he'd still be here.

    Smart move. A player looks better to scouts putting up big numbers at the FCS level than putting up pedestrian ones at the BCS level.

    And even if Miley was good, Taylor was still a 4th or 5th option. He wouldn't put up big numbers regardless of who was playing QB.

    Taylor had plenty of time to show his value. Sark saw so much value in him that he played him as a true freshman out of desperation and redshirted him his sophomore year. CP saw so much value in him that he was buried in the depth chart.

    CP has said it numerous times. Players earn their playing time in practice. I subscribe to that approach. Taylor obviously did not do what he needed to do in practice to earn meaningful playing time. And if a kid can't earn meaningful playing time in his 3rd year in the program, perhaps the NFL is not a realistic goal.

    It's really not surprising to hear some of the players don't like Peterman. Honestly, he is pretty much 180 degrees from the coach that recruited these guys. He focuses on details, academics matter and football has to be the most important thing in the world for you all at once.

    Peterman has said it as often as he possibly can, that this is not an easy process for players. One of the reasons he tells this to recruits and is straight up with them is so that when they come in they aren't freaked the hell out, like some of the current players are that he did not get a chance to recruit.

    I wish it could have been a smoother transition, but this is exactly what happens when a leader comes in with a different mindset. It's also proof of one of the many reasons this season was such a cluster fuck on the field.
    I wish it was smoother too. Some of the backlash is inevitable with a new coach, but I'm not sure it's a good thing. We'll find out.

    I agree with this. It's similar to why Arizona State is never a championship team - you always hear how easy it is to recruit to ASU because of the parties and girls, but that means you get a bunch of players who are more concerned about parties and girls than football. That can get you talent, but you need more to win big (a concept that Sark will never understand).

    Good point and if we wanted a smooth transition, we should've hired Skippy Neuheisel back or taken a flier on Ron Zooook.

    Road we have to wide receivers coming back, that's it. Dont tell me he's our 4th-5th wr, he's the only who can go snatch a ball on 3rd and long and run after catch. Sheesh. We have double-zero depth at WR. Wait till next year and the following
