Bar raised for recruiting also needs to happen
Here's the skinny: In 2018 our roster will be 50% 4 star (and hopefully one day 5) recruits. These are anywhere in America kids, meaning they can pick up the phone and at 55(+) of the 60 Power 5 schools have a scholarship available at any point including signing day. This puts us in the deep end of the pool swimming with the really big sharks of CFB, so the Ty Jones/Ohio State and Marlon/USC saga's are going to be part of this going forward.
Here's how the last 7 player's kids "transactions" have/are going to play out as I see it
Weddington (Plan A/Plan
gone, Marlon (Plan A) gone, Tryon (Plan , Norgaard (Plan , Ford (Plan , Gaye (Plan , and I think we take one more but don't know who.Obviously we are going out on a whimper. As the saying goes "coffee is for closers", Two months ago here were our final 5-7 targets. Guys we would all call Plan A types: Foster/AVT/IPM/Johnson/Chaz/missing last couple (Coker/DDY could add the other names I'm sure), and it looks like we will miss on all of them.
The day our classes FINISH with guys like that, is the day we don't have to play perfect versus anyone in America to beat them which was the case versus Alabama.
And to those that say we can't do that up here, look at the class allready. Of the current 15, 10 are 4 stars, and one is a punter so it's really 10 of 14 which is Awesome and Amazing so yes it can be done.
Once this class is in the books, I believe Pete and his coaching staff will self-evaluate like they always do, and see what/where they have to make changes in philosophy/approach/style/etc in their recruiting so they do finish strong.
As he said, the bar has been raised. You always have to have Plan B, just in case, but to get over the new height on the bar, you can't miss on the Plan A kids.

Is it fact Tuipolotu is now A U$C Trojan? 100% guaranteed?
Can we COOK IT?

Pete said the bar is raised and he's trying and actually he has raised the bar....a few misses the first time we were relevant in 15+ years sounds appropriate to me.

This post contains too much balance and sound reasoning. And it only took a few lines of text.Meek said:Pete said the bar is raised and he's trying and actually he has raised the bar....a few misses the first time we were relevant in 15+ years sounds appropriate to me.
Unacceptable. -
We've seen a steady rise in overall recruiting each year under Petersen and I expect that will continue into next year and the future. We get boners reading the biased recruiting reports and hang on every retweet but the reality is, this is a program that has wallowed in shit for the entirety of these kids'lives and finally broke through this year. This recruiting cycle appears headed for a disappointing end but the fucking hyperbole out there about coaches needing to be fired and Pete needing to re-configure his approach or that the future of the program is completely fucked because we didn't het every kid who told Eklund or Ruth that he had a great time at UW or really likes our coaches is seriously below this place.
This will be a very solid class for where the program is at this point in time. The bar will continue to be raised as the program is built. -

The whole idea to reconfigure, evaluate and analyze the approach of Pete and his staff is FUCKING ABSURD.bananasnblondes said:We've seen a steady rise in overall recruiting each year under Petersen and I expect that will continue into next year and the future.

Fuck Weddingtion. He won't even be remembered. The Marlon thing isn't clear and appears to be shady. Nansen a snake oil pig drunkard. Who the fucks knows what he is saying. Plus nothing is official yet on his apparent flip to USC.
Fozzy dreamt of the Stanford classroom since middle school. Whatever, the fucker has no lateral quickness and stiff as a board. Walker Little is the gem for Stanford, he looks incredible. Get Nick Ford and see what he looks like in three years.
