    Christ Tequilla. Look at Oregon's commit list and pop off. This guy is like the 2d or 3d shortest one on it

    What on your offer list should I be jealous of? There's maybe 2-3 guys on that list that I would want to have at UW.

    And BTW, we have already taken 2 of your commits ...

    My guess is that if we really want guys on your list, we'll take them between now and December.


    2 or 3? STOp.

    I'd take Stephens, Adrian Jackson, Isaiah Bolden, Lenzy, Harrison, Holland, McKinley. I get why some might not take McKinley but I think you'd be nuts to pass on any of those other guys.
    I'm not taking any of their offensive guys with the exception of Harrison (who honestly I would prefer at S).

    As for the DBs, let's see what we end up with before saying whether we want their guys or not.

    Some of their guys (i.e. the Florida guys) are players that we're not even in on so I don't even consider the part of the guys that we would want.
    Also guys who will jump ship if it starts sinking early.

    I'm hoping if Hufunga goes there that Holland bails.

    There are plenty if guys on Oregon's commit list that id take but i wouldnt trade classes with them. They currently have like 12 or 13 guys committed as DBs, WRs, and RBs. Other than that, they have one decent LB and a TE and everything else is dogshit. They will likely get Sewell, which is a great get but I'd take Curne and Mele over their other 2 guys any day.


    The biggest problem, though, is that this is Steve Sarkisian recruiting on steroids. We all know what happens to the early-filled classes when you go 5-4.

    Definitely wouldn't swap classes with them, if only because our QB class is arguably tops in the nation and it's the most important position, and they've got nobody. I'd kill for their DB class but that's easily the least important position for us this year.

    All I'm saying is their class is good. Ours will be better, especially for what we need.

    I'll be interested to see if they start pulling offers from the bottom third of their class as it starts to fill up.

    @AZDuck do you like this prospect?

    DDY 2. Like. Don't love like I do Bolden.

    The irony being if McKinley dooged instead of quooked the party line here would've been he's a salt of the Earth, coach's son OKG who's dad got a cup of coffee in the League just like Petermen likes.

    I'm almost sorry for saying your name. You're like a Doogy beetlejuice

    I literally just spit water out of my nose when I read this. I feel like I'm drowning.

    That's HoF worthy.

    Based on their talent I'd take Jackson, Harrison, and Holland and that's it. But I don't know the character of those guys so it might be less than that.
    Man, one season of beating the teams you should and losing to the teams you should really got you guys back on the high horse.

    The #8 class in the country and only two players are UW worthy?

    The class ranking is largely because of the number of players ... not necessarily because of the quality
    There's definitely some truth to this. They're up to #5 in Scout's overall rankings but just #20 in average.

    That said, their 8 4 stars make them seventh in 4 and 5 star recruits which is something. Stanford has a higher star average but only has 4 commits. I don't think you can just take star average at this point either, there has to be some blend between quantity and quality.

    I'd probably put Oregon's current class in the 15th best so far range. Not as great as their current rank, but still pretty damn good.
