    I’d dump Morris for Millen. Or offer a greyshirt. Really like his film from last year.

    I like the grayshirt idea...doubt he will go to Oregon unless he hates his dad.
    ehh if oregon is his best offer he should go there.

    He is better than morris

    That’s why Pete didn’t offer him

    Any P5 recruit with multiple mid-tier or higher offers is NEVER greyshirting with rare exceptions

    Whether better/worse than Morris doesn’t matter because we aren’t pulling an offer without a real good reason. You can’t ask the recruits to stay loyal if you don’t say loyal.

    Moreover to Morris, IF the preference at this point would be to go a different direction, that may go a long way to the refinement of WHEN we offer. If you offer too early and the kid wants to commit it puts the staff in a very difficult situation to either accept the verbal (and cross the fingers) or stall and have a strong risk of alienating said player for the rest of the recruiting cycle.


    Not saying we big boys yet, but most big bois tell the kid to fuck off if they have better prospects lined up

    There are always exceptions...a kid who grew up a Husky fan, dad is an alum, probably loves the Seattle area, and has to understand that we aren't going to drop a commit and we'll only take 1 QB a year going forward might maybe understand. Don't think he would do it (and think he'll stay out of the Pac12 because of it), but never hurts to try.

    Would be funny to have a Millen and Huard fighting for the job in 2023 when things are going to finally be special...

    That's great ... but that's NEVER happening under Pete ... NEVER

    Let's say that hypothetically you'd want to do that with 2-3 kids per class. The downside cost of what it will do to our branding in recruiting (our offers matter, we don't want you to verbal until you're sure, and once you do verbal we're committed with you but we're holding you to the same standard) far outweighs the gains that would come from those upgrades. It's not even close.

    It'd be one thing if we had limited scholarships or whatnot ... given our QB room in place, there's literally ZERO reason for him to choose that option versus being right at the top of the line to potentially replace Herbert.

    And on top of that, another thing that we would have to consider would be who are our targets for 2020 and how does Millen compare? Because if you are asking a player to greyshirt, what you're essentially doing is pushing to the 2020 class. So that's your decision point then even IF you could convince him to consider that option. My guess is that we probably think we have better targets in 2020 than Millen anyway.

    Why not offer him and let the loser between Millen/Morris transfer out after 1-2 years like will happen with Sirmon/Yankoff?
