I honestly was afraid to check the signing day results in case Ty didn't sign with UW. I haven't been recruiting for weeks since I can't handle the ups and downs. I am super relieved right now though. I never thought a WR would ever be my favorite signee in a recruiting class.
That whole Utah thing just made me shut down. I don't even know what happened there but reading a thread title on here about him visiting Utah just sent me into a dark spiral.
I literally cannot handle the ups and downs. If anyone published a record of the sexts between me and Coker, I would be publicly executed.
These are the times that I'm happy I only get about 5% of their texts
Does DDY have a thing for O'Dea alumns, or do they have a thing for him? You two got a thing about collars, or what?
NOGAF because we got to the playoffs with worse classes than this one
It will be remembered for the ones that got away until we see the ones that signed play
Star average or total points?
I think oregon has a lower star average, the other three are slightly higher
Star average is the only thing that really means anything so long as we aren't taking classes of 7-8 people.
The reason why star average is important is that - although it's flawed, obviously - that people who are over and under rated are probably pretty randomly distributed (though, you are always going to have kids like Rapp from WA that receive slightly less attention). So given that, your overall average tells you about the level you are recruiting at.
Our star average this year was 3.5, best in years. I would like to see that move up a bit next year, but what that metric tells me is we are recruiting kids that are all basically 4-star levels of talent.
The only kids I would say clearly 'aren't' are Haener (the only DDY 1 in the class - so you can plan on him starting the NC game next January), Otton and Lolohea if his mom ever lets him sign.
USC's class is clearly the best in the pac. If the script holds true, they will fall flat on their face next sesson. Stanford's is 2nd, but has only like 13 commits (2nd time in the last few years Shaw has taken a ridiculously small class). UW, UCLA, and Oregon's classes are about equal but Oregon has 6 more players coming in than UW.

Then there's a pretty big dropoff.
UW has like twice the 4 stars than those schools... Oregon has like 4 and ucla has like 6-7

Anyone who doesn't get a sweat pants chub looking st the height and size of the incoming receivers doesn't understand football. I can imagine, Pete's offense starting to look a lot better with these athletes

If @Babushka is still calling it, we will have problems.

A-fucking-MEN.
How I wish I could read @NeGgaPlEaSe's comments and share his optimism. Ross and Pettis hugely contributed to making Browning look good this year, but still not good enough. The shit play-calling did so much damage, killed so many drives, and just failed too many times in the crunch to get super-excited about the next wave of potentially awesome receivers.
Perhaps Jake, physically maturing and recovering from surgery, will have an epiphany, start ignoring Smiff and calling his own plays in the huddle. I can dream, can't I?

I have a feeling that this is the beginning of a beautiful
