This whole incident really drives home how much steak >>>> sizzle when evaluating TBS.
I remember poasting about how 100% of Oregon commits made it into school over something like a 4 year period... which increases the chances of those guys getting into the program and eventually contributing on the field. Sark really fucked you guys by burning redshirts unnecessarily and just lazy recruiting.
As someone who has really started digging into recruiting and what not, I think more than anything Sark's biggest failure (and also the regimes before him) was roster management. Too many players have left, too many never came in. It's about finding guys who are a fit for your program, that hasn't happened around here for a long time.

To be fair your school lets in guys like LaGarrette Blount. Who doesn't make it in at Oregon?
It's too bad we couldn't nab a JC WR. UW should really start taking PE class transfer credits damn it!
Hall leaving makes more sense as why the staff is still going hard after Castille and trying to get in AD Miller. It sounds like Hawkins is looking harder elsewhere but if he wants to play early and likely be in the two deeps, Washington is the place for him (unless he's too skinny). I like Pound's loose mesmerizing hips, especially if he plays WR rather than DB.
If Mickens leaves (maybe he wants to transfer to Okie State, redshirt, and then play one year there), then we are really f'ed. Ross would have to move back to fill his position...robbing Peter to pay Paul there.

Low tweak.
Things have changed a lot since Bellotti recruited Blount. The staff isn't taking chances on guys like they used to. The last one we did (Lyerla, mostly because we just couldn't pass on that kind of an in-state talent since it almost never happens in Oregon) well, they kicked his ass off the team.
Also, too - we have the same admissions requirements the rest of the Pac-12 (minus Stanford) has for athletes. Don't fucking kid yourself.

Outside of PE credits, of course. Faggotty wink--->

So besides coke heads you guys are the Stanford of the Willamette Valley?
Don't fucking kid yourself. That entire school is built off kids that sucked at math and were rejected by UCs.

English motherfucker. Do you speak it?
Oregon undergrad is mediocre as fuck. That's why I went to a west-coast Middlebury for my undergrad. Nobody disputes this.
Athletes have much lower admissions standards. Lower, even, than the not-so-lofty standards Oregon holds its normal undergrads to. In the Pac-12, those standards are the NCAA minimums. Which many schools still struggle to get their athletes to meet in order to enroll after committing.
Oregon's football program has gotten very good at getting kids who are academically qualified, and is not taking flyers on nearly as many marginal academic qualifiers as they used to. This is why Oregon has enrolled 100% of its LOI-signing football athletes for the past 4 or 5 years running. This is kind of a big deal because it significantly reduces attrition. When you look at an event such as the "St Tosh Day Massacre" where five kids committed on a single day (sizzle!) but I think only two or three actually made it into school and only one I think saw the field, and he's transferring, it's a big deal. That's 20% of a recruiting class.

2016 will be special.
