    Race I hope you’ll appreciate this my dad hasn’t watched a UDUB/USC game since that awful rainy day in 1984............ Fuck these fucking Fuckers so Korey Foreman goes as far away from this conference as possible.
    That was a long fucking day to be sure

    His straight line speed is good, but we already knew that. It takes him forever to change direction though. By the time he turns around, someone like Byron Murphy would be waiting for him at the end of his route. Maybe his footwork is somewhat coachable? Not sure.

    Reminds me of Metcalf a bit. Physical freak who can run straight really fast, but had a slower shuttle and 3-cone than Tom Brady. Metcalf was great in college. We'll see if he can be more than a one-trick pony in the NFL. Wilson is a big enough physical freak to be a mismatch at the college level, even if he has a limited route tree.

    And Metcalfs 3 cone drill was faster than Steve Smith sr's, the comparison to Tom Brady is beyond stupid

    Wilson has a verified 4.31 shuttle. He’s not Metcalf.

    I doubt Pete cares that much about sticking it to Oregon. If he gets Rome and Bryant, there isn’t much you can do about Wilson.

    We’re not going to take another WR just to prevent him from playing for a rival. You focus on the guys you get. It’s not about who everyone else gets.
    Its not about sticking it to Oregon. Its about not conceding him. I dont think they've moved on, as ballz keeps insisting. The pitch just hasn't been working on him as well as it was early on.

    It’s laser timed from the opening. The kid moves better than he should at that size. That’s why he’s 98 composite player. What I’ve noticed though is this board loves them some comparisons. It’s always the ones that fit the narrative.

    The issue with Wilson is his physicality. It’s not anything to do with athleticism. He’s got the raw material to be a beast if he has the mentality.

    You're wrong. Odunze and Bryant are higher on the board. Wilson does not have a committable offer right now. I never said they moved on from him completely. I said they cooled on him and put him on the back burner which they have. He's hoping to show UW some more physicality and edge to hid game his Senior season and earn a committable offer. It has nothing to do with UW's pitch or him being less interested in UW. It's the other way around, he's still interested but they're less interested in him at this time.

    Dude Metcalf has 4.3 speed and is a million times stronger than Wilson. Wilson is not even close to being a physical freak like that. He's Brayden Lenius.

    That's your read of the tea leaves, and nothing more. You could be right, but your consistency on situations like this, where Oregon takes the lead over UW with a particular prospect, is suspect at best and doogish at worst. He may have been moved down the list, or he may have moved down the list due to waning I interest on his part. You dont know.

    Is there an instance where he says UW got beat by Oregon?

    See his answer to me. Apparently he has...once.

    Hes actually right often enough that I take his reads on recruiting a lot more seriously than my replies to him might indicate. Ballz may be immature and narcissistic but hes not dumb (though I like to tell him he is because it pleases me to do so). He was right for the most part last year. The UW offered guys who ended up at Oregon, like Dollars and the FB from the same school, Pittman, and Delgado, were all a step down from who UW ended up with.
