    I told you guys the Kingsbury hire fucked our chances with him. You know a kid's not coming here when even I'm not feeling optimistic about our chances. He gone. All USC. 5-star WR to SC. Business as usual. UW needs to put up numbers on offense to get a WR of that caliber. Our #1 receiver (Aaron Fuller) was 7th in receiving yards compared to the rest of the conference's receivers. Our next WR's after that were #27 (Baccellia) and #29 (Jones). Our passing game was trash this season. The Cal and Utah games were offensive abortions. What do you expect? The air raid at USC is way more appealing for a WR recruit than what our offense has done the past two seasons.

    I am sad now. Please cheer me up with some good recruiting news.

    Well. this is true.

    passing game last two seasons has been awful. and the good recruits who come here don't get any playing time.

    You can advertise the number one defense in the pac, you can advertise "death row", to pretty much any defensive player.

    What does the offense have to advertise? Huff has been doing a pretty nice job, I like Cam Davis but he wasn't our top guy, QB recruiting has been AMAZING, Spiker and Osborne came here (inspired by Ross and Pettis) as the memory of Ross and Pettis fade, what will be the pitch to get wide receivers here? Is the "play with Jacob Eason" thing not working? We can only get one three star receiver now?

    I was born in 1994. I will never ever believe we are getting a big time recruit. We’re fucked. We’re fucked now and we’ll always be fucked.


    That being said, I have been forced to watch way too much Aaron Fuller film this year to give up on this kid. He’s going to USC or Oregon but just let me doog while McDuffie commits and he comes to a Rose bowl practice. Until then let me cut my wrists in peace.

    No Ngata, no Ford, no McCoy, do we give Lubick another chance with Johnny Wilson or is it time to move on....

    I don’t mean to be a dick but is that a serious question?

    I don't disagree but what happens when USC goes 8-5 and ends up in the Sun Bowl? Helton will be fired and Kingsbury will be gone as well. Recruits know this. Look at their 2019 schedule. I think Helton gets fired at the end of September. Some will however choose to commit and many more will not. I think we land Ford.

    Eason can make throws Browning couldn't on his best day. UW doing absolutely everything on the Ford and McCoy recruiting front knowing Eason is almost certainly the starter

    Bringing in kk isn't going to magically fix the usc offensive line all by himself.

    Will be an interesting first year.

    Hope ford can see through all the usc smoke and mirrors ... but yeah, we could have done much better offensively to sell the program to croots like ford.

    Thanks Pete and brownsocks!

    A few of us went on a twitter blitz of sending Ford UW stuff this morning. He didn’t like any of it. We fucked.

    Negative Twitter recruiting against USC was a terrible idea, makes us look like little brother.

    Sell UW. Ignore SC.
    I just sent him a stupid gif and said he would love catching balls from Skinny, so wasn’t me!!

    Even the SC posters are openly questioning why they have 2 high end TE croots (Rae and Wolfe) for this cycle.

    Now that KK is at SC they are further questioning what these TE croots are going to do in the offense. Something about the TT TE only getting 16 catches all year lol ...

    I guess that's good for us. More underutilized players for SC bodes well for UW ...

    Wish we had a Kalepo who was in the NFL, an NFL dude who would pump up UW to these kids. Like Pettis...

    Biggins just said he likes where UW is right now with Ford and would CB him to UW but wants to wait until after his SC visit.

    So Ford and Latu are in diametrically opposite positions right now. Latu leaning SC but still has UW visit. Ford leaning UW but still has SC visit.


    Also worth noting, Eklund has been saying for the last week that Ford is showing little interest in UW

    I think we close Latu but not Ford.
    I take that, edge play is more of a need, given how the roster is structured right now
    Absolutely

    Eklund just followed up in his daily "blog" that he sees no way that Ford ends up at USC even with them having an OV next weekend. He said it's an Oregon-Washington battle. So if you believe that (I do not) and mix it with what Biggins said regarding where UW stands right now---I guess you gotta like where UW is right now with Peterman still sitting on his in home.

    Cristoball already had his in home I presume? Country Legend did too correct?
