    I don't like it when Coker and Dennis disagree. Aside from the awkward sexual tension it creates, I have no idea what to think. So I don't like this.

    He's fine. He's a decent prospect, I think Dennis just wants more than a par, or at least that's how I feel. Compared to last year's class, we're off to kind of an underwhelming start. I don't think any of our commits are bad, but we also don't have a single elite commit yet. Last year we had 8 or 9 in the final class. That should be the minimum expectation going forward.
    I think there are a couple things going on here.

    1. This class will be a little larger than average.
    2. We showed last year we can close on elite players late against the likes of USC and Notre Dame.
    3. We haven't yet shown an ability to lock down elite out of state players early if USC et al are seriously in play.
    4. WA and OR are both lacking in elite 2019 talent.

    Therefore why not employ a strategy of getting a bunch of guys committed who maybe aren't your top target at their position but would be in the top half of a very good signing class. This builds momentum and provides the staff with valuable information in order to efficiently deploy resources.

    After spring you reevaluate and recalibrate and do it again for the summer/fall but being a little more selective and putting a little more pressure on those DDY3 kids you really want in the boat. Then you hopefully have a nearly full class and can put on full court pressure for the Kahos and Tulis in December-February.

    Certainty has value. Its much easier to swing for the fences on Tuitele if you already have Ngalu and Paama in the boat.
    This is an exquisitely rational post.

    Where the fuck am I?
    The only Husky fan forum where rationality doesn't get you banned- just made fun of.

    Now the 3rd UW commit (Kalepo and Pa'ama) that will be at the bowel likely recruiting for us?. If Heimuli jumps on board that's all the better. Shaping up to be like last year which landed us? Tuli.

    I repeat:

    "If our? strategy is to build class early in the process of really good players who have the chance of developing later then I'm out. But if our? strategy is to build a class early in the process of good players who are going to be a tight knit group that create a different atmosphere that those elite targets can't help but want to be a part of, then count me fucking in."
    Tuitele is playing at poly bowel.

    Like I said before, get Shelton back and vea as a new guest poly coach and we're laughing.

    I laffed at bowel. I'm easily amused

    Does anybody here want to see a D-line at UW that is on the level of those at Alabama, Clemson, and Ohio State? Do you honestly think signing the next Elijah Qualls gets us to that level? Pull your doog heads out of your doog asses and raise your fucking standards. This fucking place is becoming more an more like doogman by the day. You can't bash the kids anymore without a bunch of fucking doogs jumping on your back for having high standards.

    Qualls was first team All Pac12 as a junior. If you really think we are too good for another player like that you are BallzDeepFS.





    Oh.
    So what? He was a 6th round pick. He wasn't good enough. We just did fucking better this past recruiting class dumb fuck. Taimani and Letuligasenoa are both better recruits than Qualls was coming out of high school.
    Tuli yes. Taimani no. But even if that was true, we took multiple other DL.

    We absolutely would have taken Qualls in last year's class. Or this year's.

    You care way too fucking much about the NFL draft.

    Yeah the NFL draft fucking matters because it tells you what the experts in the sport of football think about a guy. Sure they make mistakes here and there but elite guys don't fall to the 6th round. If you want to just talk college fine. In Qualls last season when he was 1st-team All-Pac-12 he wouldn't have even been a starter for any of the other Playoff teams. Yes, he was a good player for us but we are trying to do better and can do better.

    How many college players get drafted? It is still an honor

    There were too many poasts that aged super well in this thread for me to quote. Now that we got Pa'ama and Bandes, maybe people can enjoy Ngalu for what he is, which is a solid fucking player.





    Also.....

    Ngalu is whatever.

    I'm not super into him and I don't hate him. I agree with @ZombieBallz.

    He is so good I watched his whole highlight tape, FUCK.



    Now that I've listened to the POD, I'm also happy that Dad and Dad are finally on the same page with Ngalu. I was feeling stressed out for awhile, amirite @Swaye ?

    Is Ngalu the Mosiah of this DL class?

    Mosiah has gotten better and better the more we see of him. Coker loved Ngalu from the beginning.
