    Does harrison's commitment mean that UW didn't get the #1 WA player this year and last year (sarrell)?

    Asking somebody who is dialed in.

    Harrison might be the best player in Washington (to my eyes), but is not rated as such currently. In fact, of the rankings services, only on ESPN is Trey Lowe rated below Harrison.

    However, that is soon to change. He has gone up from unrated to composite 4* just from people watching his junior highlights. Once he goes out and destroys Metro his senior season, he might get bumped all the way to 5*. He is that good. So, the answer is possibly.
    He's not getting to 5*. He's 264 on scout. 301 on 247. They would have to drop guys as well, which they don't like to make drastic because they are kids.

    The rankings fluctuate, but not that much.

    I agree he's the best player in the state though.
    IMO Kyler Gordon is the best recruit in the state.

    I don't think we? loose him, but didn't think we'd loose TreShaun either.

    Serious question on this for @CokeGreaterThanPepsi and @Dennis_DeYoung. Is Taggart and company over or underperforming in recruiting thus far based on your initial expectations? We knew that he was assembling a crack team of ace recruiters, but at first glance it seems they are doing very well for a program that experience an epic regression since being in the NT game. What is your level of concern?

    They can't coach.

    LIPO. Right now Taggart is taking the Sark recruiting approach by offering anyone and everyone rated by a recruiting site a scholarship. Except he doesn't have to deal with 0-12!!1

    I think Taggart will have a Sark type career at Oregon. He will recruit above average but people will make it seem like he's killing it, he will lose games he shouldn't and beat some overrated ranked teams to keep his job longer than he should.

    Agree with Waffle and Gladstone here and have a hard time envisioning Coach T getting them back to the promised land circa 2009- 14, but as one who isn't that much into the TBS part of this, was curious if we? should be concerned yet at this juncture- i.e, #4 ranked class with 16 recruits thus far (our star rating per kid is higher, however).

    Sort of agree but he's recruiting better than Sark ever did.
