Interesting. Offered a Georgia Kid

whuggy

Some kind of connection or a bit
of change in philosophy? Can't
remember ever offering a Georgia
kid before. Maybe a play on our
excellent DB Combine results.

Maybe we're retaliating for Skinny Eason

Hopefully this will leave us all like this:

Could get him and hate him, in which case we'll feel like this:

But most likely he won't come here and we'll be like whuggy, axing this:

Actually I really hope it's a sign
that we are stretching our normal
recruiting areas. When the new rule
comes in this year, can the 10th asst.
coach be a designated recruiter?

Not sure about "designated" but I'm sure many schools will give him a lot of recruiting responsibilities.

Why the fuck would we want to waste time in GA? This kid is never coming to WA.

Fuck man...... UW could use a Georgia peach every 5 years.

He's a DB. If it was any other position I'd agree. But I think Jimmy Lake has earned the right to swing for the fences on random kids like this.

Jimmy Lake is going to have a hard time this year. The only thing that could be profitable about doing this is that maybe kids outside the area don't realize he tried to leave at the end of last year and couldn't pull the trigger.

That's going to be tough for him to overcome, I think.

Position coaches move around frequently. I think you guys are overstating this concern a little bit. Lake will just tell them he wasn't ever interested in leaving he just had to play it out to get a raise.

It's a concern for kids like Gordon who were probably aware of it as it was happening. For kids who come around later on I'm not worried about it.

Lake gets the benefit of the doubt for me.

This kid will never come here. Offer doesn't make any sense. Same as offering Reuben Foster.

DISAGREE. I'm hearing he's a lifelong DAWGS fan so we had to offer. WOOF!!

Tennessee doesn't produce nearly enough in state high school talent and used to have pipelines to Ohio, Michigan and California.

PAC 12 is a cool conference, if they can get one kid from SEC country out there maybe others will follow...

I see it as extremely low risk, potentially high reward - certainly worth trying...

Why is this so hard for people to understand ...

In a general class, we're going to recruit give or take 18 kids ...

In most years, our class will look like this from a geographical standpoint:

6-8 kids from the State of Washington ...

6-8 kids from the State of California (probably 2/3 NorCal and 1/3 SoCal) ...

Add those up and you're looking at 12-16 kids out of the 18 total that are going to be covered just by recruiting our general recruiting base ...

From there can we steal a kid or two out of Oregon, Arizona, Utah, or Colorado? What about Hawaii? Is there a high end recruit from Idaho? Does the feelers that we put out in Texas provide beneficial?

Now, where I disagree slightly with @Dennis_DeYoung and @CokeGreaterThanPepsi is that I don't have a problem IF we spend time going after kids in places like Georgia, Florida, etc. PROVIDED that the interest is as mutual between the kid and our staff. Going national WILL NEVER be a strategy for us and more importantly IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE.

We should never count on recruiting from those places as locks ... but we also shouldn't be blind enough to turn away from recruiting a DDY 3 if interested just so that we can lock in a generic DDY 2 that we will be able to talk to throughout the process and IF it becomes obvious that we'll miss on the DDY 3 that we move on to the DDY 2 and get that locked up.

IF there was a big miss in last year's recruiting cycle it was that we didn't move on to our Plan B guys early enough and it almost cost us dearly.

Let's be brutally honest

1/2 a natty in 1990

This past year The Dubs played two good teams, and well...

Washington can sustain staying in the Top 10 for awhile with great coaching and players mostly from Wash and Cali - but there is no reason to believe they will win a natty with the current formula...

If the goal is to be competitive and exciting, then no, they don't need to go national

But if the goal is a natty, they may need to lure a few 4 and 5 stars from Ohio, Michigan, Texas and / or SEC country
