    so UCLA has a bunch of guys, including Ty Jones and Stephen Carr, on officials this weekend and we have nobody on campus...wtf?

    UCLA has open spots. We didn't think we fid. Hard to convince kids to come visit if you don't have a spot for them.


    This shit doesn't surprise me. Ty Jones's recruitment has been shady as fuck. I'm actually surprised Petersen didn't cut him loose after the Utah nonsense. By trusting the kid, UW lost out on the possibility of picking up a 3rd receiver if Jones flips.

    The only possible hope is that, if it's true that UCLA is bringing in a ton of kids this weekend, it could be an opportunity for them to all just hang out in LA
    I think Petersen's approach is a bit misunderstood.
    He'll cut a kid loose if there is someone better he
    can get. I'm pretty sure he'd take back Marlon
    because he can't find a better DT. If Ty flipped
    he would probably be welcomed back because
    he is the best WR prospect. Wedington not so
    much because Ahmed is better. This offing
    a kid when they commit and then take visits
    is flexible depending on the kid.

    How is it possible that UW was closed so incredibly horrible? This is a fucking joke.

    The back half of this recruiting cycle has been a train wreck, no other way to put it.

    We had a ton of elite guys locked in by summer, but the problem with that has become that those elite guys are the flakiest with their commitments. Pete recognized the talent on some of these guys (like Connor and Ty) before other schools and the TBS scene really got onto them, but didn't anticipate that they'd get bombarded later on in the process and flake.

    It's almost as if the whole strategy of locking in these caliber of recruits early on and not late in the process is coming back to bite us in the ass. Because for so many months we aren't out there recruiting their position because Pete "respects their spot." If Marlon, Ty, Connor hadn't committed early on then we could've been exploring other options this whole time...

    Well he's now following a bunch of UCLA commits which is never good.

    You hit the nail on the head. The problem with signing these guys early is they get bored watching their friends get to go take visits and be wined and dined. UW is going to have to tweak their process or watch the top talent go elsewhere. And why the hell are they not having an OVs this weekend. Take some shots on big time guys who haven't visited?

    The early signing period is going to help us so much next year.

    This was three days ago. Hoping he just wants a free trip LA.

    There's more to it than that. The last month of recruiting is a chaotic feeding frenzy. Some coaches are slick sharks that know how to sell a kid in that intense "kill-or-be-killed" environment.

    Cardboard Pete's "built for life" and "honor your word" style is a great long term motto to live by, but not a winning formula during this four-week utter shit storm. Last year he enjoyed a quiet final few weeks, lucky for him and us. This year he finds himself in a cage match, and he's not good at it.

    I'm glad he's our coach, just saying it helps to have a guy that knows how to fucking close at the 11th hour...hard.

    I can barely handle the twists and turns, the ups and downs, and the curveballs of TBS'ing anymore.

    Think I'm going to run around for some perspective

    I don't know if it will change much. Now
    the signing period can actually stretch from
    Feb.1 to April 1. Next year when early signing
    moves to December the prime recruits can still
    stretch it till February. Same drama. Would have
    benefitted UW much more if June signing would have
    been adopted.

    UCLA, shit coach, shit program, shit players.

    Fuck'em.

    Ty Jones, enjoy wallowing in a swamp of shit.

    Pete may be too demanding for some of these millenials. Coasting and hanging out may be a little more appealing to some of these guys.

    Mora, likely isn't very demanding the "class room."

    The difference is we would KNOW who is not committed in December, if a kid has been committed since summer (like Ty Jones) and then does not sign in December, our staff will know they need to start looking around to see what is out there, because he is not as committed as he says he is.
    It will help a bit but still won't matter
    for the elite talent who can wait as long
    as they want to commit. As always the
    solution is to win, so you don't have to worry
    about other programs offering jobs to family,
    or spending your time going to recruit's birthday
    parties. This 2018 class has to be a blockbuster
    to continue the momentum. If not it will confirm
    we are a player in conference but not the national
    stage.

    Yeah, this is what I was thinking. If you have guys like Marlon and Ty who say they're all UW but then don't sign, you consider their spot open.

    Disagree. First of all what these kids say is
    worthless. Only thing that matters is when
    they sign. You recruit to a spot until the
    spots are signed off in December. Save a couple
    of spots for home run recruits.

    What in the actual fuck is going on. Really thought making the cfp would help recruiting not make the best commits fucking leave. If jones goes to ucla where Mora hasn't done shit I don't get it. At this point let's bring back tosh to be shady as fuck.
