    I'm not going to watch the kickass presser, but what were Lake's exact words? Did he say UW had the top rated class? If so, that's a very objective measure, so there's a case to be made that he's wrong (in 5 out of 6 ways, as dtd points out--until February, at which time it will be 6 out of 6 ways). If Lake said UW had the "best" or "number one" class, this is a very subjective thing, and good luck proving him wrong. At that point, you'd just be arguing against "I think my guys are the best."

    It's all just marketing anyway, and since when is marketing held up to some kind of integrity standard?

    He specifically said "in December" so he was correct because Manning wouldn't pledge until January 2nd I believe.

    Who cares.

    They are the #1 ranked class by 247 right now.

    Theres no need to overthink and continually fact check this shit.

    Those exact words crossed my mind when I was wasting time typing my response.

    This. It’s hype. It ultimately doesn’t matter. Of course you want to be at the top but that doesn’t guarantee us beating Cal or Colorado.

    Yea Biggins had some unflattering things to say about him recently but also said the ceiling is pretty high if he puts in the work. They played him at 3 different spots during the all star game. Seems a little harsh to judge him on how well he played when he wasn’t in one spot long enough to do anything.

    If you’re losing one on one’s and doing poorly in drills, how is it harsh to report that? Somehow many other players got glowing reviews because they performed well. The ones that didn’t don’t get those type of reviews.

    He made a very good choice in choosing UW. His inevitable struggles at the next level would be a lot tougher without family, hometown support, and coaches that are much more cut throat than ours.

    Is Smalls still "the most important recruit in the history of the program?"
