    This kid was all UW before committing to SC. Maybe our staff wasnt very high on him?

    I think we thought we were dialed in on Ozzy and Spiker, so we dropped back a bit. We would've never beat USC for him.

    I bet USC told him to look around.

    He's good... but he's not AMAZING.
    So, synthesizing a few things you've* said I have your west coast WR bored looking like this:

    1. Jalen Hall (going to USC)
    2/3. Osbourne/Spiker (not sure how you have them ordered)
    4. Michael Wilson
    5. Chase Williams

    Is Allen number six, or are there others who slot above him?





    *Some of that may have come from Coker, but I always just assume you two share a TBS brain.
    Jalen Hall is overrated, and you forgot Amon-Ra.

    I think DDY and Coker both said that they think Osborne/Spiker are the top 2 on the West coast this year.

    I didn't forget Amon-Ra, DDY said he loves his name but not his game.

    I would do it more in tiers:

    Tier 1
    Osborne, Spiker, Hall, Devon Williams from Antelope Valley if he plays WR (kid is unreal)

    Tier 2:
    Wilson, Williams, St. Brown, Chase Cota

    Tier 3:
    Others

    I know you've said Spiker = @BornSinner, so he's obviously Tier 1 comparable. If they were this year's recruits would Cook and Bynum be tier 2?

    Yeah, exactly. Tier 1 means like dudes that are SUPER BALLERS. Tier 2 is guys I really, really like, but obviously not in the tip top group.

    I want Amon-Ra to come here solely to hear this song in Husky Stadium.

    So, he's committed for the second time... this time to Neb and their drunk-driving, hard-crootin' WR coach Keith Williams (who is responsible for the hashtag #CaliBraska).

    UW still needs to get Chase Williams. He'd be a great punt/kick returner. Maybe even CB, if not WR. Him and Harrison have the best hips in the west...

    Harrison at safety needs to happen.

    Chase Williams won't be a Dawg. Cook it.

    Also: Tre'Shaun needs to happen and will.

    He'll be coming with Coach Sirmon to UW next year if by some chance we want him.










    We don't.

    We can bitch all we want but blue bloods gonna blue blood. It's fucked up for those kids but when your basically corporate football your infallible.One day I hope UW can do this but I maybe wishful thinking.

    You don't have to do that to be competing at a high level ... we do it the way you're supposed to ... our problem is that we don't get enough of our A targets as I'd like.
    You're right but until we win at high level of constantly conference championship or better we are gonna hardcorehusky all over this shit .Do you really think the blue bloods do it the way they're supposed to do it.
    What's your standards?

    Starting in the 1920's, the number of conference championships that we've either won outright or shared the title for by decade as follows:

    1920s: 1
    1930s: 1
    1940s: 0
    1950s: 1
    1960s: 2
    1970s: 1
    1980s: 2
    1990s: 4
    2000s: 1
    2010s: 1
    Total: 14

    Over that time period, we finished 2nd in the conference 18 different times.

    That's not saying that we can't win at a consistently high level, but there's reason to be tempered about our success and knowing that we're always going to be going uphill against the LA schools. Just as a point of reference, over this time period, the number of conference/division titles by the LA schools:

    USC: 40
    UCLA: 19
    Perspective posts are depressing. In the 80's and 90's, our best football ever, we won the conference 6 times. In twenty fucking years. Wow.

    Coogs ruined two more in the 80's. One of those years we went to the Orange Bowl and one I think we? ended in an Aloha loss to Pedo St. in Hawaii. That would have been 8-20 or almost half the time for a couple decades. Not too shabby. A long walk and some perspective on your perspective may be wise.
