    Interesting that Lubick is being sent with a babysitter (Hamdan) to visit Ford and McCoy this week. Over the weekend, Malloe chaperoned him on his visit with Puka. The only guy Lubick is seeing on his own is already-committed Taj Davis.

    Either Lubick is heading elsewhere next year or Pete doesn't trust him alone with recruits.

    I thought sending multiple coaches was common? I wouldn’t be shocked if Lubick isn’t here for long. We’ve had two years in a row of shitty WR play.
    In Lubick’s defense, Pease recruited the current group of receivers. Fuller and Baciella have played well given their limited toolboxes. Ty Jones has so far been meh. Evaluators had him as a big HS talent, prone to mental lapses and taking plays off.

    I believe he closed Yankoff?

    Lubick may suck but I’m not ready to go there yet.

    Several thought Huff sucked, too. He’s demonstrated he can recruit the results from the development side—positive—recently kicked in.

    People were skeptical of the Huff hire. He immediately went to work and proved everyone wrong. Not really the same thing.
    Huff had pieces to work with; McGary, Adams, Watty, Hilbers, and full year starter Harris.

    Lubick, not so much.

    He inherited Pettis, Fuller(.831 composite), Baciella (.85) Chico (.875) Chin (.838) and Hamden’s talented but inexperienced incoming freshman Jones, Bynum, and Cook. Special thanks to Peterman for keeping Brent Pease too long!

    Lubick leveled WR recruiting way up, inking Spiker (.970), Osborne (.918), Lowe (.901) Culp (.881), and QB Yankoff (.956).

    On the field, Fuller (.831 composite) and Baciella (.85),while not flashy, have developed into productive pieces. YPC is way up. Ty Jones remains a work in progress who hopefully raises his game another level next year.

    2017 Receivers


    2018 Receviers


    Not counting the current recruiting cycle, I’d give Lubbick an A in both development and recruiting.

    It speaks volumes to Peterman’s offense that Spiker and Osborne haven’t played, considering the limited WR rotation.

    If Lubick whiffs on Ford—or a similar ceiling prospect this cycle— he drops down, but is a far cry from needing to GTFO (Hi Bob and PowPow!)
    I’m mostly Posi Lubick but Osborne committed before Hamden left, he gets no credit for him. Spiker was set to commit when Hamdan left but waited a bit to make sure he was comfortable with his replacement. Lubick gets some credit here but probably only 25%ish.
    Maybe so but historically when a recruiting coach leaves, the recruits look around. Osborne was commited to Peterman and the school. Lubick ultimatly got Spikers commitment and held on to him for nine months until signing day.

    If Lubick whiffs on this class, the WRs go backwards next year, and he whiffs on the following class, GTFO.

    I wanted Malloe gone after we lost Tui and he couldn’t even get a meeting to try and hold him together. Guess I was wrong on that one.

    Ngata ties:
    - Ariel & being on campus a ton
    - Jake

    Ford ties:
    - Julius Irvin
    - Keith Taylor
    - Soon to be Trent McDuffie
    - Summer training wit Brandon Mckinney
    - Coached by Austin Pettis who has a good relationship with Bush
    - Good relationship with Dante
    - No USC family ties & is friends with Bru (said he’d take Ryan Hillinski over JT)

    If you can’t get that kid when USC goes 5-7 and you have Eason, Sirmon, Huard waiting in the wings GTFOH. Period.

    Two other minor factors that should make it a no-brainer.

    A year in year out elite D —> offense on the field.... a fuck ton

    A leveling up o-line (thanks Huff!) —> more time for those elite QBs to sling the rock...

    You can’t fire Lubick for Jake sucking and not using Ty. You can fire him for being Brent pease 2.0 and whiffing in recruiting.

    All the 4 stars don’t play because Pete’s dumbass offense makes you win matchups on your own. Problem is the two WR’s who are good enough route runners are the two least dynamic on the whole roster. That’s why you see Aaron run a picture perfect slant on 4th & 6 but it gets broken up cuz he’s a pussy physically. HS kids aren’t precise enough to win matchups against college corners without a pick, over and under concept, or formation facilitation to just step in. Let alone step in with a shitty QB. That’s why you see Bynum and Cook just now being thrown in.

    Kyle is one of the best HS route runners I’ve seen combined with a big and strong frame so he’d be the only one who wouldn’t need a redshirt year to get acclimated. But with the ACL tear he’ll prolly RS anyways.

    Could Lubick get the “Brett Pease” award this year?
