Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Has Ken Griswold admitted he underestimated Petermen as a recruiter?

It has got to be at least partly that. And his assistants are clearly good teachers of technique. But I also think he and his staff are really good at evaluation.animate said:Why is this even an issue? Petersen landed average classes at Boise and then coaches them up to perform at an unbelievable level.
Any idiot (okay, maybe not Eklund) can identify raw athletic talent. But Petersen seems to be very good at figuring out which guys are going to be able to translate that talent into becoming superior football players. And most of that has to be about attitude and coachability. Which is where the OKG thing comes in.
OKG never meant diamond-in-the-rough, white guy, or 2-star recruit. It means guys who give a shit and want to get better. Guys who really love football and not just being recruited. And guess what, there are 4-star and even 5-star OKGs. Boise State just had no shot at landing them. Washington does. -
This reminds me of the way Pete Carroll and his staff evaluates, i also think Peterman evaluates their mental make-up.AIRWOLF said:

The funny part to me is that Sark had no idea to either look for this or what to look for and recruiting was the 2nd most important part of being on the road recruiting...second to partying in hotels on someone else's dime. -

I wouldn't be suprised if they had a sports physcolgist on staff that evals recruits on visits or whatever.AIRWOLF said:

As we know, you can be all airport and look like Adonis but when the wind is blowing and the rain is falling and its Wednesday practice and you hurt like hell do you love the game enough to power through?

How so? That's some dogman shit. It's like saying. Browning is a good QB but his arm strength is his weakness.Tequilla said:Good to see it just took one game for Roadie to be back on the nega train
