    Beezlebub isn't being quite as cunty in this thread as others. Must have gotten a handjob at YMCA locker room last night.

    Washington produces a fair amount of Pac 12 quality players, and even a fair amount of Pac 12 star players. UW has no built in advantage with the guys in California, Oregon, or anywhere else. They only have that in Washington. USC, UCLA, and even Cal make use of their geographic advantage in recruiting. The core of all of their classes is from their core geographic area. It has to be the same for Washington.

    Look what happens when you lose that. Jonathon Stewart left the state at a time when we had shit for running backs. Josh Garnett, Walker Williams, and Zach Banner left at a time when we had shit offensive linemen (remember Steve Schilling...good example of the same). Keivarre (however the fuck you spell it) Russell left and was a freshman starter at Notre Dame. Think he might have helped the UW secondary last year?

    When your state produces talent you have to reel them in at a high rate, until such time as you turn into Oregon. Otherwise your roster starts to look like Oregon State's (or WSU's...or UW's). I don't think UW is going to turn into Oregon...ever.

    Thanks for noticing, I'm a recruiting junkie it does bring out a reasonable side to me, don't take it as weakness

    nobody's ever thrown a shout out to me because you guys don't dig the Thailand "girls." I'm okay with it - less competition for me.

    U proved my point u can't win totally relying on Washington kids, ur own numbers show only 30 percent of roster is local, about 6 a year based on 5 year cycle.u have to recruit the hell out of Cali and supplement with state kids.
    I think there are usually 30-40% washington kids on the roster, but like it's been mentioned Sark lost a decent chunk of would be dawgs and supplemented them with Cali recruits. I looked at an incomplete account of the 91 roster off a google search and it showed 31 of the 80 as being from washington which is a little more than 38%.

    I don't think Pete did anything out of the norm with this class, he pretty much stuck to the script. 8/24 = 33%
