It’s why covid really hurt us, Jimmy can’t get that one on one to close guys like Simon, Troy and Moliki at the spring game. Now just got to hope there’s a season and that we win games or else we are screwed. But win at least 10 games and I believe we finish with a top 15 class and a shot at a top 10 class.betadawg said:

They started recruiting him to RB a couple months back since we desperately need RB’s and only need one LB his year. Julien likes Jimmy but he didn’t feel like a priority with the staff and didn’t connect with position coaches.bananasnblondes said:
So were we recruiting him as an ILB or a RB? I'd almost prefer the scenario where we went after him and whiffed rather than us saying hes not good enough. Tracy Ford seems to think that UW passed on him.sonics1993 said:

He’s doing a really good job of that. The key factor will be how many games we win this year but Malloe has set us up really well. He’s basically recruiting the front seven this year and he’s doing a great job.UDubHusky23 said:

Malloe going to have to win the family over
If we start winning and then follow that up with good coaching hires. I expect 2022 to be a top 5 class after our playoff appearance.
Domani Jackson and Tetairoa McMillan are going to commit early and recruit Malik Murphy to join the squad. Im thinking 2 Nattys in the next 4 years. -
Imagine wanting to play for Clay Helton.

That’s never been the problem, even despite the poor development, kids and their families really like Clay. The issue the past few years was that the AD didn’t invest in support staff or marketing, half their coaches didn’t recruit including their D-coordinator who just wanted to be back in the NFL, and the fanbase/boosters grew tired of the poor on-field results & the ‘will he won’t he be fired’ dance.DoogWhisperer said:Imagine wanting to play for Clay Helton.
Sounds familiar. -
Sonics, I know you've been over this ad nauseum, but can you confirm that the AD forced Jimmy's hand in retaining Gregory, Boner, and Cato (Brown?) due to budget constraints? Even with Pete's salary off the books sans buyout?sonics1993 said:

Or is Jimmy completely indefensible in this regard and he wanted to keep Gregory since he's known him for a while and developed BBK and...yeah, I don't know why you'd retain Boner or promote Cato or hire Brown, who has no recent WC ties.
One of the most fucked up things about all this is the ripple effect of keeping Gregory and Boner. Since Boner can't recruit an elite RB, we had to modify Simon's offer as a RB. But recruits don't relate to Gregory, so we're fucked. Cool. -

It's borderline laughable the ripple effects of retaining Gregory and Boner re: Simon. Boner can't land an elite RB, so we modify Simon's offer when he already can't relate with our position coach, who has one thing going for him on his resume and that's developing BBK. -
Not true, the football budget is the same.Beno4Life said:

I've never really bought into the idea that Jimmy was forced to keep those guys because of the budget. It seems much more likely that Jimmy, being a 1st time HC, just wanted to keep on 2 veteran coaches he had worked with for a long time for one more year to help him with the transition.Beno4Life said:

How big of a difference do you think it will be if USC just gets crushed by Alabama and then does not do well in their next tough stretch of games (ASU, UTAH, CAL) coming up. Do you think the new staff effect will wear off once they are losing games?sonics1993 said:

Im just trying to understand if kids are commiting to USC because they are USC, or if they are really trying to sell that they will crush it in 2020 with Slovis. -
