Glad to see one of you fuckers gets itwhuggy said:At this point it might be time to stop dooging about Savell and wish him luck wherever he goes. Unless of course he chooses Oregon at which point it's ok to hope he gets 4 years of high ankle sprains and then heals up before the NFL draft. Of course I hold out 5% hope that he changes his mind but the dream of a Hometown Hero seems faded. As an alternative I'm changing my definition of Hometown Hero to players that are willing and excited to represent my hometown. My nominee for new definition Hometown Hero is Jalen McMillan. While we are disappointed by Savell a lot of that disappointment is eased by the committment of Jalen. His efforts in recruiting other players to play with him
shows a level of leadership and maturity that I haven't seen in Savell. We got a total winner in JM and the other players that want to win with him is gonna ease a ton of the Savell disappointment.

He's not going to Oregon's SNL bullshit. They get a hat on the table for sucking his dick.KrunkJuice said:
JHOP just a few days ago said Smalls wasn't going to Oregon but I am still interested if he goes to SNL and if they makes his top 6.Meek said:what are the odds Smalls shows up at Oregon's SNL event just so he can be spotted with another de facto "fuck you" to UW?

You can't start your post with that sentence and then run the oldest play in the doog playbook.whuggy said:At this point it might be time to stop dooging about Savell and wish him luck wherever he goes.

I do agree in the sense of JM being a guy so talented he has gravity to bring talent with him, and gives the effort to actively recruit. That's something that's becoming super value with Twitter and ig playing such a big role in the whole process now.
Smalls is a monster at a position we desperately need and getting Jalen McMillan doesn't lessen that need, but a big part of SS being "THE MOST IMPORTANT RECRUIT IN SCHOOL HISTORY" was /is the expectation that he would open the floodgates on top tier in-state. Huard, McMillan (by way of Huard,) and Garbers have all mitigated that to an extent, and I'm not sure Smalls has as much influence on other recruits as we thought a year ago.
The recruit gravity or pull idea is interesting and tough to quantify. Those three above have it in differing amounts, Kalepo had it, even Miki Ah You and Mosiah Liu in a little different way with the poly movement. Coaches have offered guys for a better chance with a brother or teammate forever, but I'm curious how much attention they pay to a recruit's social web since it can be much bigger today. -
Smalls in tallatrashy right now. Weather is too hot.

yep...making his 2nd visit to see Slick Willy this summer to attend their Saturday Night Live event (what a coincidence it's the same name for an event on the same day as Oregon).dirtysouwfdawg said:Smalls in tallatrashy right now. Weather is too hot.

This is a really good post ... so much of the the focus on the the in-state class has been in making sure that we're locking up all of those guys with the idea that momentum comes with one after the otherExtraChrisB said:

At this point, the trending in-state is really good with 2021 being a situation where everything looks like it's moving in the right direction
I've said this before, but if the 2020 class is telling us anything it is that there are good players that are lining up to play for Washington. If you don't want to be part of that, there's somebody else that is right there waiting.
2-3 months ago the momentum had everybody going down the path of "what in the world is going on here," "the sky is falling," and all types of negative opinions. Now, we've got threads where people are debating on whether we're going to get between 11-14 blue chip recruits (4 stars or better) in this class and the overall numbers that we'll be looking at pushing the program into the ~ 50 range such that we're going to be in the Top 6-8 range of talent for programs in the nation.
It's never about any single player ... football requires all 11 players on the field doing their job at any given time. The reason you want your roster stacked with talented players is because the competition from within raises the bar for the collective whole. This isn't basketball where the elite players that are coming in today will be leaving in 12 months. The gap between a HS football player and what it takes to be high-end successful in college and ultimately transition to the NFL is vast.
Petersen and his staff have proven that they can develop players and get them to the NFL while winning at a high level in college. If that appeals to a potential recruit, then that's awesome. If it doesn't, there's others that it will absolutely appeal to. -
Just have to say that we cannot take all high end recruits.
We have to take 3 star croots with high ceilings but with significant flaws. Kids know this, understand that they need coaching and development over 2-3 years before even seeing the field. These kids are less likely to transfer, less likely to cause trouble, less management concerns.
Allows the coaching staff to use resources positively rather than burning it up.
Yeah, levelling up talent is great and necessary but when I look at rosters and recruiting classes like Alabama you'll see super high end croots littered with high ceiling 3 stars making up the roster balance. -
@animate, that's not true at all. Alabama's 2019 recruiting class had one 3*, twenty-three 4*, and three 5*. They are not getting three stars on purpose, they are taking the best talent they can get at all times.
