    RB: - ?

    what

    RB recruiting.
    By what measure would you call recruiting Gaskin, McGrew/Pleasant, and Wedington/(Ahmed?) in the past 3 cycles a negative?

    RB recruiting was only ever a concern a couple years ago when Coleman and Dotson were the lone RB recruits in the 13/14 classes. It's definitely improved.

    The "-" is for the current trend and quality of RB recruit committed.

    Gaskin was in the first class, three years next signing day? Pleasant likely never plays RB - too slow, or is a non-factor. McGrew is 5'5 and I'm hearing he may be a slot. I like Ahmed a lot as a RB (what the fuck do I know tho) but the fags that follow recruiting say he ends up at DB. He hasn't committed yet and historically players that visit another school just before they announce usually pick the other school. Peterman makes a big deal recruits need to take an official visit and bring their parents before committing. Ahmed, apparently, never took an official visit. Weddington: is listed as a two-way athlete. (Hi J) is he a RB? Is he a DB?
    Knees get torn. Legs get broken. If Gaskin gets hurt on Saturday, who steps in? Dotson? Coleman? Can UW win the confrence if that happens? How about next year when Qualls, Jones, Victor, and Baker leave? Will that defense be good enough to win with the lack of quality depth at RB?
    Are you sick of the "they're young, they need more time" excuse yet?

    A lot of ?'s and a big area of concern IMO. UW is not exactly brimming with all-confrence level OL or quality OL commits in the pipeline to open holes for slow prodding backs either. They're having a hard enough time opening holes for Gaskin against JV DL.

    Lots of hypotheticals in your argument of why pulling in three (possibly four) 4* RBs in 3 years = shitty recruiting

    Is anyone surprised Babushka can't recruit?

    Has he put QB's in the NFL?

    Have his offenses been good?

    Is he a charismatic guy?

    He's a fucking geek who from all appearances has no social skills and has a shitty coaching track record.

    You also just described 81% of the people on this bored
    81% at least have some internet charisma.
    Only in your mind
