If you're a local kid who wants a UW offer and UW is clearly your dream school, trying to use our biggest rival as a side piece to leverage an offer from UW probably isn't a good way to go about it. Don't whore yourself out to make the girl you really want jealous. Playing little immature teen boy games is probably going to lessen your chances at getting an offer from Petersen. That's what I'm worried about.
This is such a bad take. Pete can’t talk about how they take their time with offers and also how they want kids to visit other schools to make sure their 100% on UW, and then also hold it against a kid for visiting another local school who already has offered both he and his brother. What are they supposed to do, just sit on their hands and wait in hopes Pete actually offers and in the meantime not visit any other top Pac12 programs?
Sure, he wants guys to take all their visits. But having his profile picture on Twitter being him in an Oregon uniform and talking about following in his brothers footsteps to Oregon is playing games. It's obviously a jab at UW for not offering him yet and trying to make them jealous or force their hand. I don't care. But Petersen passes on dudes so easily because he's so confident in what he's building you just never know if something like that would rub him the wrong way and make him think "whatever, go to Oregon then". If I were Latu, I'd wipe Oregon shit from my Twitter and just be publicly impartial with all the schools.
1) Latu isn’t trying to make UW jealous by posting Oregon stuff. His brother just committed and he visited himself. He’s enjoying himself because he is an elite recruit with every top school in the country sucking his dick, and he is 2 years from signing. He is going to enjoy every minute and he fucking should.
2) You do care. You care a lot. You’re saying a kid is whoring himself our because he made his profile picture one from a photo shoot at a school he just visited. Welcome to recruiting for the last 8 years.
3) Pete doesn’t give 2 shits about any of this. He wouldn’t drop a kid for visiting Oregon or hyping his brother up. See: every top recruit on the west coast (Budda Baker, Elijah Molden, Cam Williams, etc)
4) He doesn’t need to wipe Oregon from his twitter. Every recruit changes their profile pic based on who he visited last. Are you saying any of this shit about Savvy?
5) You are an insufferable cunt.
Bump for Latu removing the Oregon profile pic. Weird how it wasn’t a big deal.
Curious if Latu is clearly a step below the other guys we've offered in our eyes, or if him being such a UW lean they're just waiting given that he will likely commit soon after being offered.

He's right up there with them. Recently ran a 4.57 40 at 225 pounds. That was timed by FSP I believe, so not official, but he's a great athlete and elite ILB prospect. The hold up for the UW offer is just grades. UW wants him and he obviously wants to be a Dawg. Just needs to keep working on his grades which he is doing. It's nice to see an elite in-state kid be openly passionate about UW, understand their standards and recruiting approach, and actually put in the work to EARN an offer instead of taking the easy way out and going to a lesser academic school. That's what an OKG does.
Like I said before, 2021 class is loaded at ILB. Somehow Bob Gregory is going to be in a position in which he's gonna have to turn down 4-star ILB talent because we won't have room to take them all. That's what happens when the program starts selling itself.
Keith Brown 4* Trey Reynolds Unranked, likely 4* Ethan Calvert 4* Top 100 Will Latu 4* Julien Simon 5* Ath Top 100
UW will have their pick of who they want out of those 5 guys.

And right there you may have a reason for why we haven’t offered Simon yet with that list ...

If only he could play other positions.
Offer him as an athlete and figure out where you need him later. Boner is not going to get two RBs next year better than Simon.

Absolutely, Simon reminds me of Shaq Thompson. He's a dynamic athlete with flashy play making ability at multiple positions. He could be a great college RB or SS safety as well as ILB. That's a guy you have to fit into the class no matter what. We've heard nothing but good stuff about his character, he's a great student, and he's obviously a baller on the field. The only logical reason he doesn't have an offer yet that I can think of is work ethic, because through process of elimination, that's all that remains. Everything else that we know about him is all OKG.
Some kids who are man children at a very young age have to learn to work hard in the weight room because they've always been naturally bigger and stronger than everybody else and so they're accustomed to just relying on their talent instead of putting in the hard work. That might be the case with Simon. I think UW could be waiting to hear from his HS coach that he has turned up his work ethic to UW's standard and then they will offer him. Kind of a power move but that would align with Petersen's philosophy.

Who’s the last person Pete has recruited like that?
The other potential option is not knowing what position ... we don’t seem to recruit athletes blindly often if at all
I don't think generic "athletes" really exist by the time we get close to signing day. Some programs will see Simon as a RB, some will see him on defense, but everyone will have a specific vision to sell him on.
We've recruited numerous players where other programs were recruiting them at different positions or even the other side of the ball.
