    All I want are OKG's. OKG's have NFL talent and are really good dudes. I don't care what their star rating is. The stars are a joke especially when it comes to UW recruiting. Joe Tryon, Jaxson Kirkland, Victor Curne, Matteo Mele, Dominique Hampton, Mosiah Nasili-Liu, Jackson Sirmon, Devin Culp, Troy Fautanu, Sama Paama, Taj Davis, and Corey Luciano. All rated "3-star" guys who clearly have NFL talent. Give me more guys like that all day long.

    Name one player committed to Oregon that UW wanted. There isn't a single one who had a committable offer from UW. Oregon can have Keyon Ware-Hudson. I prefer Sama Paama. They can have Mycah Pittman. I prefer Taj Davis. They can have Jonah Tauanu'u. I prefer Troy Fautanu. OKG's baby WOOOO!

    Oregon is doing a great job recruiting kids. We are doing a really good job, but only with poly kids. Thank god there are so many good poly kids on the coast because if we had to rely on black/white kids we would be recruiting like Oregon State.

    Until we actually get a commit from a top 250 black kid with a decent offer, I will assume we are going to miss everyone.

    Oregon is destroying it in recruiting.

    Until you prove otherwise, I'm going to assume you have an extra chromosome.

    There’s a lot of doom and gloom around here considering HH never thought Tuitele would come to UW, or we? would get serious consideration from McCoy or To’oto’o, so take a minute and remember that we? signed the best DT in Cali last year, have a commitment from 3/4 of the best DT this year (again one being the best in Cali, and one the best player in Hawaii,) we? have the most outrageous DB room in the country, the OL recruiting took off, and we? are still in play on some of the top players in the west who are all planning on committing later in the season. We? will never sign a buck, but in all seriousness if we? land a surprise like Latu or To’oto’on it wouldn’t even be that much of a shock considering how strong the class is, and how we? finished last years recruiting cycle. At this point in time, I’m more concerned with the product on the field, because that will sell the last few holdouts better than being better salesman than Oregon.

    We have 3 recruiters that fuck on major level. Unfortunately they don’t recruit WR, LB

    If you had to pick what positions you wanted your best recruiters I think we have them at 4 of the 5 most important spots. You'd probably rank them something like this (with 2-4 being somewhat interchangeable).

    QB
    DL
    OL
    Edge
    DB

    WR, ILB, RB and TE would all come after those 4, IMO.

    We don’t have to choose. Stop being a fucking Doog.
    No one is arguing we shouldn't get more, I was specifically addressing WAC's point that we have 3 recruiters who fuck (actually 4) but "unfortunately they aren't at WR or LB". Given that amount, we have them where we want them. Of course I'd like more recruiters who fuck.

    Try to read for context once in your life instead of just jumping to canned DDY rant. kthxbye.

    This bored is Some poasters are bi-polar. When we get good news (Buelow makes it official!) we talk about the potentially greatest UW class of all time. When we get bad news ("The storm is coming" never materialized) we talk about how we'll never sign a decent BUCK, ever.

    Later. Rinse. Repeat.
    Things haven't changed with me. I said this would be a monster class. It's going to be. My only concern now is that we whiff on Buck again like last year.

    Agreed, it's going to be a great class. I think it will be a tick under last year's (though probably right there with it once you subtract Kaho, RIP), though if we pull a miracle with Bru or Ford it could surpass last year even.

    This whole situation with the BUCK position reminds me when HH was worried about the lack of recruiting DTs over the pass couple of years.

    In the end, Gaines decided to stay an extra year and the DT recruiting picked up and HH is not worried anymore.

    I have a feeling the BUCK situation will resolve itself in time.

    The BUCK issues are a much longer trend than DT was.

    I don't think this is an overreaction like the DT panic was.
    I have full confidence Ariel Ngata is going to become a stud. He's already showing flashes of what he can do.

    And if he gets injured? Who else is on the roster that you have "full confidence to become a stud"? We are past the point where having 1 deep at a position is "good enough".

    We're also talking recruiting so fast forward 2-3 years. If Ngata is a stud he may be gone. Who else do we have to replace him?

    Zion Tupuola-Fetui. Over the summer there was a couple work out clips with Tracy Ford and he looks good.

    He's going to be a DT big body power type with hand in the grass, not a Ngata stand up speed off the edge type. That's what I see anyways. He'll be great but he's not what we are talking about for Buck.

    He looks decent moving in space based on his film, given how bad buck recruiting has been I try him at buck first. He is a project anyways, he would take 2-3 years to develop anyways

    DL is the most important (across all 3 or 4 positions). Give me a stellar defensive line and a serviceable QB who doesn't do stupid shit.

    I have a feeling the BUCK situation will resolve itself in time.
    The BUCK issues are a much longer trend than DT was.

    I don't think this is an overreaction like the DT panic was.
    I have full confidence Ariel Ngata is going to become a stud. He's already showing flashes of what he can do.
    And if he gets injured? Who else is on the roster that you have "full confidence to become a stud"? We are past the point where having 1 deep at a position is "good enough".

    We're also talking recruiting so fast forward 2-3 years. If Ngata is a stud he may be gone. Who else do we have to replace him?
    Zion Tupuola-Fetui. Over the summer there was a couple work out clips with Tracy Ford and he looks good.
    He's going to be a DT big body power type with hand in the grass, not a Ngata stand up speed off the edge type. That's what I see anyways. He'll be great but he's not what we are talking about for Buck.
    Yeah he's probably not going to be a 3rd down buck, but he could easily be a base OLB. String is a base sam half the time, we can't play everyone at DT.
