BCan't get anywhere near the A territory
unless you land difference makers on both lines.
Average on OL and weakish on DL. -
BOh and I gave it a B.
-
BGaye is gonna be a monster imo
-
B+Gaye is going to rape opposing OL/QB in 3 years!!!
-
BIt is hard to grade them as a fan this staff is so good at development it is hard to give anything less than a B they could sign a bunch of nobodies then we throw a fit... but they go and win a conference title with those dudes and we are messing our sweatpants
-
BTui fucked the curve
-
B-Love the kids we got. Slow to no close with two defectors and the class lands around 20 after ending the season. #4.
-
B+Marlon Tui would have made it an A. A better QB, without Tui, would've made it an A-.
-
BB. After making the CFP, we whiffed on elite DLs, elite OLs (in a year when there are a few on the west coast), and elite QBs.
Still got some good players though. Hunger Bryant and Salvon Ahmed are amazing, and both Bush Hamden and Jimmy Lake killed it. -
A-My basic view is we "over-achieved" at every position except OL, DL, and QB. I mean, outstanding is the expectation but if we ever achieved the national championship caliber athletes at every position goal that is really an A+ in my mind. OL is close to desirable obviously Sarrell leaving the state was a disappointment but doesn't effect the quality of the group we did sign. DL is a knock down, not because of losing the Nansen Boy but because Gaye alone is not enough. We needed one more. QB is also a big shortcoming, so each of those is a knock down. It was basically either a B+ or an A- in my eyes but just really the great quality across the board really made me lean A-. If we used the University of Wisconsin rating system of A, AB, B, BC, etc then AB is the clear choice and it looks like 71% of respondents thus far agree.

B+Oh fuck now you've opened the floodgates for Tequilla to opine about different university grading systems.
-
B+By position:
QB - D (Haener)
RB - A- (assuming Salvon is a RB)
WR - A (Ty, Cook, Bynum)
TE - A (Bryant, Otton)
OL - B- (Bain, Norgaard, Kirkland)
D Line - B- (Gaye, Tryon)
LB - B+ (Ngata)
DB - A- (Molden, Taylor, McKinney)
-
BIs it true Mora went after Haener?
-
B+By position (good idea @bananasnblondes)
QB - F (Haener is not "better than nothing")
RB - A (Ahmed is a stud)
WR - A (Jones, Bynum & Cook: amazeballs)
TE - A (Otton & Bryant - like them both a lot)
OL - C+ (Kirkland, Bainivalu, Norgy - add Fozzy for an A)
DT - C (Gaye - just need another guy here)
OLB - B+ (Tryon, Lolohea: kind of weird, but good)
LB - B (like Ngata, but it's just one guy)
DB - A- (Molden, Taylor, McKinney - A+ if we get IPM or Ah You) -
BWatch Haener win a Heisman hahaha.......

AThis class though is an A. Best class we signed in well over a decade.
Yeah it sucks that we did not get another DT or a better QB but when watching the film for the guys we signed I like every single one of them (well besides Haener and the Punter (who watches punter highlights)).
This is probably the first class in a decade that I don't find myself thinking, "This guy will never see the field", "He is too slow", "can't move his feet", "concrete in his shoes..." etc., about half our damn class...

BYou know booty shorts are done right when the pockets show
-
A-
This is basically where I am at. Losing Marlon like that was an emotional blow but overall we landed an amazing percentage of our "Plan A" targets and the two positions of weakness are two positions in which the current roster is pretty set (QB and DT.) We missed on a lot of OL guys but when your plan C guy is a UCLA commit with offers from more than half the conference that isn't the worst position to be in.Mad_Son said:My basic view is we "over-achieved" at every position except OL, DL, and QB.

Look at it another way- how many guys did we pursue with mutual interest and not land?
CB- ?
S- IPM, Ah You
ILB-?
DE/OLB- DJ
DT- Marlon, Tufele
OL- Foster, AVT, Umana, Davis, Jackson, Ford.
WR- ?
TE- ?
RB- Connor
QB- A bunch. Seemed like we were offering someone new every week for awhile there.
I am probably missing some but clearly it is a short list. Especially considering how high we were aiming. -
B-The program needs 2 - 4* DL and OL per class to be at the A level we got 1.
Not meant to be a knock on the kids UW got, they're studs. If they can establish the run and stop it they'll be tough to beat.
It's all about the trenches. -
D+ or lowerD = Dawg.
All recruits are Dawgs now.
At least this is what Ruth claims. worth the 9.95 this month? -

You can pretty clearly see that our deficiencies are at QB and OL. We got our pockets picked at DT.FremontTroll said:

The issue is that we have a bizarre policy where we stop recruiting kids that we think are good if we get a commitment at a position. I don't get it.
You can always tell a kid you don't have room for him at the end (or you can do like Bama and try to get one of the best players in high school to gray shirt), but you can't easily replace kids that decommit.
In the end this class was 3 players away from being a complete dream come true: Fozzy, Marlon and IPM. If you switch Burmeister for Haener then we literally have one of the most elite classes I've ever seen.
So we were right on the cusp of greatness. This next year is kind of a down year in the West outside of Utah, so we shall see how things go, but at least we are not going to completely fail at QB this year.
If we can somehow manage to get 3 good OL (Jaramillo, Marco Brewer, Justin Dedich and Steven Jones seem like reasonable targets), we are almost assured of a great class. -
A-I already regret my A- grade. I initially gave it because I feel confident about the coaches ability to coach up and develop the OL and DL commits.
That said QB is too important of a position and we really need to stop recruiting small guys with limited mobility and average arm strength. -

Just saw an article on espn re ranking the 2014 class.
ESPN had uw at 9 th in the PAC 12 and now rank that class #1.
Gave me some perspective on all the recruiting hype this time of year. -
C+We have the #1 ranked strength and conditioning coach. That's what I care about. This conference can suck our fat cocks while we have Socha.

I know most on this bored know and love socha, but this can't be stated enough. Our strength staff is light years ahead of the rest of the conference. And it's why we are in such a great position to continue to build and get even better.haie said:We have the #1 ranked strength and conditioning coach. That's what I care about.
