Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Probably been discussed elsewhere but IDGAF.
Are there any super legit players who were interested in some of the more epic dumpster fires in the PAC12 that we could swoop on? I am thinking about UCLA, Tree, and Duck specifically. I know Fozzy and Tree. Any others that we might have a legit shot with since their favorite teams are steaming piles of turd?

The problem is, with hardly any scholarships left, the coaches aren't really gonna focus their time on kids who are already committed elsewhere unless it's really obvious that they want to come to UW.
In reality only Jones and Budda have any talk right now about being drafted high enough to leave. Even they are fringe guys as of now though.
I count 4 that may leave the program without going to the NFL:
1- CB Brandon Lewis (low on depth chart, could find playing time elsewhere)
2- S Trevor Walker (suddenly senior or grad transfer)
3- LB Sean Constantine (medical retirement)
4- C John Turner (will be RS-JR next year and has not sniffed playing time)
It's funny because 5 years ago I was told that your first class doesn't count; it's just practice. You need more time to get your guys in there And wasting the better part of a month finishing your old job was a good thing when you have less than 2 to complete a recruiting class...because the free fucking pub!11!!!1!!!11!!!!!!I!1!!!!!! would land you better recruits. Instead, you sign a bunch of dreck and literally have no idea or plan for who you are signing and how they will fit in your program. But I was told this was fine because of our old pal Owen.
So far, Pete has signed 66 guys and 63 are still with the program. I obviously understand all this tells us about his last class is they all made it into school, but it's the only way to compare apples/apples and I'm impatient. At the same point in time of Sark's tenure, he had signed 74 guys and 61 were still in the program. After less than 3 years that's a terrible retention rate and doesn't even factor in the large number of guys who were hot garbage. But that was good for Sark; it gave him the chance to bring in more shiny new toys to play with. Until he got bored of them, of course.
I hadn't thought of Coleman, but it would make sense for him to move on for his final year. He's shown some promise this year and he could go somewhere like San Jose State and be the #1 back.
