Concerns over WR recruiting

Did you see UW football games last year?AtomicDawg said:
When did lenius look good? Maybe he will turn out to be good. But he was nothing last year. Looking at his bio last year he had 7 catches for 56 yards. Half of his yards were on one catch vs ucla.Dennis_DeYoung said:Uh, Renfro and McClatcher were 4-star kids, Pettis had a good year for a true frosh and has been mentioned as a possible All Pac-12 candidate this year. Lenius chose us over Miami and looked really good in limited time last year.
What the F do people want?
Look, I think Fuller sucks, I think Little sucks, I think Andre B. is likely to suck and Pounds makes me yawn... but give it a rest.
If there are ever topics that overlap here and at doogman the poaster should be banned for a week.
Wr recruiting is the least of my worries too. But pettis so far is the only young one on the team worth a damn. -
I did. He looked tall. And our QB sucked ass. But even with the shitty QB, Pettis flashed actual skills. Lenius flashed height.Dennis_DeYoung said:

I'm cautiously optimistic about him because so many here NTD, BB over him, but he didn't show me anything last year on the field. That said he was a freshman and a raw one at that. If Pete can develop like we think he can, Lenius certainly has a shot. And Cokehead's spring analysis is promising. -
2016 WR recruiting has been weird, there's a bunch of high 4star guys that wanted SC offers, but never got them as Sark took WRs from SEC land. McKinley Crawford McKnight Alloway - could be some shakeup with their preferences. I know Uw is heavily involved with some of those guys.

Yeah, my guess is that the staff gets one stud (4 stars like you mentioned or 5 star N'Keal Henry) and then another 3 star guy (mid to high).
Best guy they got last year was Renfro (high 3 star / low 4 star) followed by Chico (easier to find guys like him than potential #1 WRs like Renfro).
I'm most concerned with the DL recruiting this year. I think Choate is a great coach and a good recruiter but it's kind of a down year for DTs / NTs on the West Coast this year.BallSacked said:2016 WR recruiting has been weird, there's a bunch of high 4star guys that wanted SC offers, but never got them as Sark took WRs from SEC land.

Unfortunately I did see all the games last year. And lenius was not good. @dnc gave expert analysis. He showed size and not much else. anyone saying he is going to be good is more hope than anything. I hope he is good too. Wouldn't bet on it though. Especially since our quarterbacks are not likely to make him look better than he is.Dennis_DeYoung said:

In case you didn't know, Scout overinflates their star rankings now. It used to be that if you were in the Top 51-300, you were given 4*s and everyone below was 3*s. Now Scout gives about 400 kids 4*s, so people get more excited, stroke their dicks and claim greatness on the number of shiny pictures of stars on a website.Dennis_DeYoung said:Uh, Renfro and McClatcher were 4-star kids,
Dante Pettis looked good against Colorado and only Colorado. I wanna see a WR that can put up good numbers against the upper-tier of the conference, not fucking Colorado. He put up DiAndre Campbell's numbers last year. How the fuck is he an All Pac-12 candidate this year?Dennis_DeYoung said:Pettis had a good year for a true frosh and has been mentioned as a possible All Pac-12 candidate this year.
You mean, Lenius looked good during one play last year.Dennis_DeYoung said:Lenius chose us over Miami and looked really good in limited time last year.
I don't get all this bullshit where we're doing fine. Right now, pretty much everyone is unproven at the WR position heading into this year except for Mickens and Hall. Pettis and Lenius really didn't do much at the WR position. Yeah, Pettis shit all over Colorado and Lenius had one catch against UCLA and that's it. And all these new WRs haven't proven they can compete against the Oregons, Stanfords, USCs or UCLAs yet.Dennis_DeYoung said:What the F do people want?

We need better talent at the WR position if we ever want to break out of 3rd place in the Pac-12 North. We need better talent everywhere, and we're getting it everywhere else, but we're still striking out at WR. -
I guess we just shouldn't play this year. It's hopeless.whatshouldicareabout said:

I know you've been holding out hope for Harry, but I don't see him going to UW, as SC has been backing away from him due to academis. If SC can't take a guy academically, UW usually can't either.HFNY said:Yeah, my guess is that the staff gets one stud (4 stars like you mentioned or 5 star N'Keal Henry) and then another 3 star guy (mid to high).
Best guy they got last year was Renfro (high 3 star / low 4 star) followed by Chico (easier to find guys like him than potential #1 WRs like Renfro).
I'm most concerned with the DL recruiting this year. I think Choate is a great coach and a good recruiter but it's kind of a down year for DTs / NTs on the West Coast this year.BallSacked said:2016 WR recruiting has been weird, there's a bunch of high 4star guys that wanted SC offers, but never got them as Sark took WRs from SEC land.

UA, ASU or somewhere random in big12 or SEC would be my guess.

I know nothing about him, but I do know a 5 star from Arizona isn't coming to UW.BallSacked said:

So SC, ASU and UA all have different academic standards than UW? That's news to me. It's my understanding that in the P12, only Stanford and possibly UCLA have standards that differ from NCAA standards.
FWIW, the kid's HS coach stated this past week that Henry is on track to be fully qualified.
