Sharing your lady friends has value.Swaye said:It's a shame we are all poor losers. We could be the Hardcore Husky Hunters. Not sure if $7.11 scrapped together from all of us would woo Togiai or not.

UW has always been at best at the Top end of Tier 2 ...whuggy said:

If this recruitment was on the level I would tend to agree ... we know it likely wasn’t ...Dennis_DeYoung said:Just think about how fucked we are...
Our coach was a god in Idaho for 10 years.
We were recruiting a (half) Poly kid with a Poly dude that has known him for years.
We currently have one of the best DLs in the country.
We are the best team close to Tommy.
We have a kid on our roster from Highland.
And Bruce Wayne comes by and all we hear is rhythmic slapping sounds in the club bathroom.
I don’t see us playing that game ...
So the question is can we recruit at a high enough level without that to be able to compete?
Winning a national title will always be a stretch goal ... it’s not impossible but we will likely never be the favorite to do so
ten or better recruiting classes. Call them Tier 1 schools.
UW is Tier 2. There is one exception to this rule that gives
you a slight hope to win or challenge for a title. Having a
game changing QB. Marcus Mariota and Deshaun Watson
proved this exception holds true as at the time both those
programs would have had past years of Tier 2 level recruiting.
Can't see UW moving into the top tier of recruiting unless
Petersen philosophically switches to staff with better recruiting
chops so best shot to pose a serious challenge has to come from
Yankoff or Sirmon being elite. Hope rules.
You can win conference titles at that level on a relatively decent basis given that the only elite P12 school is USC (UCLA has the ability to be elite but rarely is) ...
But you are right, to compete at a national level we will always need to develop guys and then hope that the timing lines up for us to have that elite QB or whatnot that can push us over the top -
Agree. Still think Pete leans towards "coaches" rather thanTequilla said:

"recruiters" on staff. He's gotta realize he's bumping up
against a glass ceiling unless he starts winning some of these
major recruiting battles. As much as I like Petersen and think
him a terrific coach I hesitate to say he will change from what has
worked for him forever. At the very least, the 10th staff member
has to be someone with a dynamite recruiting rep and also he needs
to clear up the Jimmy Lake "will he be here?" situation.

Let me get this straight, all we have left for hope is one or more of Kaho, Tremblay, and Gordon? What a shitty finish! To be honest, I’ve seen no indications we get any of these three. Is Gordon even visiting this weekend?

Also, I am tired of rooting for the funny, interesting guy. Why can’t UW find a way to be the short, average-looking dude who rakes it in because he just doesn’t give a fuck about trying to impress anyone?
