    There ain't no catching up to be had. This is exactly what I already told you guys. It's not "lazy recruiting" when you don't really want the kid like that. This is what happens when you have a coaching staff that completely ignores star ratings and do their own evaluations. Sometimes they completely disagree with the ratings and prefer "3-star" kids (Rome Odunze and Sawyer Racanelli) over an overrated "5-star" kid. Wilson is Brayden Lenius 2.0. Don't know how many times I have to say that for it to sink in. He's not a great WR prospect. I don't care if he goes to Oregon or anywhere else. It's a win for us if a not so good WR or soft TE prospect goes to Oregon and further clogs up their roster. Move on. All I care about is the coaches getting who THEY want. Not who fan boys who don't know shit about football talent want. I get pissed when they whiff on guys they actually want. This isn't one of those instances.

    Says Oregon is recruiting him hardest by far. The words by far are unacceptable to me. The first thing you do in ANY job is put in maximum effort. Forget the race allegations. Lazy allegations might be more appropriate.
    Yes, this is what stood out to me as well

    Clearly Oregon's prioritized Wilson.

    As to why we haven't recruited as hard who knows ...

    It would seem like we liked McMillan better of the two but who knows

    One thing that is generally clear with the staff is that when they feel like they aren't in a good position they tend to re-prioritize ... that can be argued whether that's a good/bad thing.

    He was offered by uw.
    That doesn't mean shit. How long have you all had to understand that not everybody UW offers is a guy they eventually want to sign. Even with how few offers they put out, they still offer way more kids than they can take. Every year, they offer kids early and then after further evaluation, they cool on some of them and don't want them anymore. It's not a perfect system.

    Thank you Mrs. Peterson and all Trusting Coaches Doogs everywhere.
    I'm not trusting the coaches. I'm trusting what my two eyes tell me when I watch Wilson's film. He sucks. From the very beginning I didn't think he was a WR prospect but a flex TE guy who's a big target with good hands but not athletic enough to play outside and not strong and physical enough to play in-line TE.
