The issue with Lake is how it was obviously public he was trying to leave.
So while it’s obvious on some level that all assistants are trying to move up or leave, they can say “I want to be here forever” and have dumb kids believe it.
But with Lake, guys like Meat say “That guy is trying to leave you’ll only have him for 2 weeks. Look at how Bush left last year. Those guys are going to bounce on you.” And those same stupid kids are like “yeah, good point.”
So any talk about reality needs to be canned. We need to talk about PERCEPTION because that’s what matters in recruiting. -

one of the dumbest things ever written on this website. -
From early on, I've always felt from reading Hampton's interviews, that he was hoping for other offers. His commitment to UW was very "well, I guess I'll go ahead and pick UW then". He was also trying to visit Oregon for their big recruiting weekend before WT left.
Dick Newton has had a similar recruitment. The difference is, I think teams will come after Hampton late.
It will be chinteresting to see how Pete handles this. I know his expectation is that all current commits sign on the 20th. You can't hold off recruniting a position because a kid wants to dick around until Feb. That's how you get left holding your dick in your hand on signing day. -
Likely he will no sign next next week and then we will scramble for him and for whoever usc doesn't want.bananasnblondes said:From early on, I've always felt from reading Hampton's interviews, that he was hoping for other offers.

Right now the DB class looks like it has a chance to be an unmitigated disaster ... care to explain to me how that is the case?

Jimmy Lake is the GOAT. One recruiting class changes nothing.

If you can't answer the question then FUCK OFF ...
Saying that Lake's one of the premier DB coaches is COMPLETELY missing the point ... nobody is disputing that fact ... but how much of the job of a position coach is actual coaching versus recruiting?
Depending on how he closes this class, hard to say that he's not damaged goods. -
Again, you don't get rid of a top 5 all around DB coach because of one bad recruiting class.Tequilla said:

We are better with Jimmy Lake than without if we sign no DB's in this class.
And we will. -
Lake's been an elite recruiter for years. There's months until signing day. He can still sign a really great class. Pump the brakes.Tequilla said:

Then after dead periods there's about a month after that until the 2nd Signing Day ... and for anybody worth a shit at that point, you're going to be in FIERCE competition for any of them ... particularly if any of them you haven't really even been in on at that point ... which we largely haven't been because we've been targeting getting the balance of our class firmed up by the 1st Signing Day ...
But if Hampton doesn't sign on the 20th, Gordon goes to ND, and we're stuck with a bunch of JAGs that we're not crazy about ... then by all means go cricket it up when reality strikes.
I'd love to be wrong ... Lake's incredible. But you're absolutely fooling yourself if you think that we've been strong this year in DB recruiting (we haven't) and that there are few rationale reasons to explain why. The MOST rationale reason is that Lake's damaged goods on the recruiting trail ...
Try to understand this ... PERCEPTION >>> REALITY

Again, you don't get rid of a stud all around coach over one bad recruiting class. We're better off with Lake coaching up the young DB depth (which we have plenty of) another year. And the chances of back to back disaster classes are very low IMO (if this even ends up being one, which I doubt).
If he goes ohfer 17 and 18 in recruiting then I'd consider moving on.
That won't happen. -
