Treshaun Harrison Update

Bright lights, notoriety mixed with talent.
Let's bring up Deion Sanders. Ultra talented but at the end of the day he was also a hard worker and made plays.
Is Harrison like that? I don't know the kid. But if Pete has decided to not recruit him and let him go. we'll follow his career trajectory and it may be mildly interesting.
Knowing it's either taggart or Cristobal I'm not that optimistic ha. -
He goes to FSU he's the next Jared Jones.

Who doesn’t love a little Whitesplaining? It was just a matter of time before someone (in this case Teq) introduced “character” into it. Love it. Thread officially diagnosed with full blown AIDS.Tequilla said:
1) seems pretty clear that Pete isn’t recruiting him ... whether because Pete doesn’t think he is OKG or because he has been told he has no chance in hell doesn’t matter to medougthedawg said:

My opinion for a while is that Harrison while talented is just not going to fit in with the whole OKG philosophy ...
Personally, I think Harrison is going to wash out wherever he goes ... take the screenshots
2) to be ultra successful in sports character really starts to matter to me ... Harrison strikes me as a football version of all the recent hoops guys to come out of Seattle like Tony Wroten ... just a hunch but I expect Harrison to underperform in college ... particularly if he chooses a place like FSU where he could get lost in the depth pretty easily -
Oregon has lost all 5 of their 4 star receiver commits (including TH). If he’s going to FSU he probably should commit soon because those spots are going to get filled up by Willies castoffs.steelheader2 said:He goes to FSU he's the next Jared Jones.

That’s a nice little theory ... but I was saying the same thing when Eason went down to Georgia because he prioritized banging Southern sorority girlsAEB said:

So FUCK OFF in trying to equate my comments about Harrison as some kind of race baiting BS -

Michael Jordan. Barry Bonds. Alex Rodriquez. Derek Jeter. Tiger.
Ultra successful... -
Looks like a former Husky Legend made a post on KJV's site today about the Harrison situation ... essentially to paraphrase the whole thing was basically that Harrison sees himself as a WR, we viewed him as a DB, that we agreed to disagree, and that it wasn't because Harrison wasn't OKG.
Here's the thing from my perspective and to further clarify my earlier comments ...
As Vita was so eloquent in explaining during the media days for the Fiesta Bowl things go in order from Team --> Unit --> Me
From the first time I saw Harrison's video, I thought if he embraced it he'd have the potential to have a lengthy career as a DB ... when I saw the video I saw Lawyer Milloy.
As I watched some of his senior video, combined with some comments from @Dennis_DeYoung that were consistent with what I was seeing, you could definitely see a very good option at RB if he was interested in doing that.
However, at WR, I definitely don't see a player better than Spiker/Osborne, better than what we brought in last class, or what we'll bring in in next year's class. In other words, he'd be likely buried in the depth at UW at WR.
Let's be honest for a second here ... if you are going to be a high caliber S, you need to have a certain mindset and toughness to play that position well. If you're going to be a RB, while you get a lot of attention, you have to be prepared to get hit in the process. And with the way teams are utillizing multiple RBs now, the glory gets spread and the hits still keep coming. In contrast, at WR, you have the potential to get all the glory that you get at RB without having to take the same kind of pounding.
He'll end up at Florida St and follow Taggart. Taggart is the ultimate snake oil salesman and him and Oregon were a perfect match for each other. Playing WR in Taggart's offense is like playing a glorified RB. He'll get the ball on WR screens, jet sweeps, etc. without having to take the pounding between the tackles. Whether he has a strong college career or not (and particularly going to FSU, I suspect his potential to be buried in the depth will only increase), playing WR IMO is his worst shot to potentially play in the NFL. But that's fine.
The reason that I compared Harrison to guys like Wroten, etc. to recently come out of Seattle is because the common trait that I see is a lot of the guys have looked to take the easiest path possible in the short-term while ultimately penalizing themselves in the long-term.
This isn't an example of where I really blame Petersen for not landing Harrison. Bringing him in at WR will not make us a better football team comparatively to what we can and will get going forward. At RB, there was probably room for a discussion but Harrison wasn't interested. At S he would have been best served long-term but again wasn't interested. To be an elite team you need guys on the roster that are willing to live by the mantra of Team --> Unit --> Me ... and given how Harrison has gone about his recruitment (which he is more than entitled to do), we're not a good fit for him.
Best of luck to him going forward ... but I personally don't think we'll miss him.
