I think Chris Brown is "ok". I don't LOVE him, but using his HS stats means nothing.
I like Harrison better, but I do think Brown would be good in our offense.
Newton looks like a slapdick. -
Personally like doof

Petersen is elite as an evaluator and developer of talent. That is a given, at this point. Where the superiority in evaluation ends and development begins is pretty difficult to tease out. Fortunately we don't have to.RealRhino said:Can I go full Doog here for a second? (Actually, a quick admission: I could never really figure out the extent of what being a doog means. Trusting the coaches? LIPO? Being okay with failure? Anyway...)
I trust Petersen to evaluate players. I mean, yeah, maybe we've taken some filler and settled for mediocre players to some extent, but overall I think he's probably the best in the business.
Here are some numbers I came up with looking at his Boise success. First class included two 1st rounders, a 2nd, and a 3rd. Amazing. Started 2007, left 2013. So give him a couple of years to coach his guys and that of his immediate predecessor. From 2010-2014, Petersen had six guys drafted in the 1st or 2nd round. Same time period, UCLA also had six guys so drafted. Difference? In all of Petersen's Boise recruiting classes, ONE non-JC four-star recruit (two 4-star JCs). Same time period, UCLA had 44, including SIX (!) 5-star recruits. Same number of high draft picks.
USC in that same timeframe? 7 guys in first two rounds. With probably even more being 4-star or higher recruits.
Pete knows what he's doing.
However, it appears to me that the current staff is better at this on the defensive side of the ball than on the offensive side.
So I definitely "trust the coaches" to identify the right players and to coach the players they get pretty damn well once they are in the program, but the getting the guys they really want part is still a bit of a struggle. And I have a lot more trust on the defensive side than on the offense. -
Bingo. However, after we score a collective 4 points against the Pac-10 this year, Harrison will flip back.BallzDeep said:This from Prehm:
"Washington isn't letting up
Keep tabs on Oregon commit and four-star athlete Tre'Shaun Harrison out of Garfield high school in Seattle. Word is that Chris Petersen wasn't pleased to see one of the top Washington prospects leave the state and head south to Eugene, and Harrison has recently seen Washington put on the pressure. This was expected though. We're told Harrison remains firm with Oregon and likes what he's seen from the Ducks, but the peer pressure to stay 'home' and play for the home team is getting stronger by the week."
In the comments section a subscriber asked this:
"Matt - scale of 1 to 10 how do you assess the UW threat to flip Harrison?"
Prehm responded:
"I would say medium, so like 3-5."
Prior to this he was saying there was no chance Harrison flips to UW. Now he is preparing his subscribers for a potential flip so that if it happens he can say "Not a surprise. Knew about this being a possibility weeks ago."
Very good sign. -
Holy doog. You really think UW is beating U$C after that performance against Buttgers and Montana?BallzDeep said:
We're just getting warmed up. I like our chances of going 13-0. Then recruits will be begging UW to take their commitment.Dennis_DeYoung said:

You're still half a retard, but if you continue to let the other half post (as you must have on the past couple posts in this thread) then you don't need to light yourself on fire.BallzDeep said:
No doubt. By the end of the regular season our defense will be absolutely suffocating and the offense will be firing on all cylinders. Darnold is good but he can't throw from his back.jhfstyle24 said:

What is there to be negative about? We kicked Rutger's ass in the second half to win after coming out flat and absolutely butt fucked Montana with no Vaseline.
SC almost lost their asses to Western Michigan but because they beat Stanford they're unbeatable again? Nah, Stanford's defense sucks. Their best D-lineman is Harrison Phillips who won't even sniff the NFL. Stanford beat the shit out of Rice who would probably get their asses kicked by Last Chance-U.
A lot of overreactions early in the season as usual. -
