What a difference four years makes.

Holy shit. No wonder I have a bad liver.

Sark was such a bag of dicks.

I'm sure he still is.

wow....just wow.

That is awful.

the glory days of HH

Sark seems comfortable heading into next season with Cyler Miles, Jeff Lindquist and Troy Williams as his scholarship QB's.

Rubberfist

Jesus, Sark has the focus of a raging alcoholic.

Wasn't this the mythical Top-5 class that Dawgman was forecasting after Sark left?

BayDawg

Jesus. H. Christ.

75% of the "committed" went elsewhere. We were more embarassing than I even remember.

I love you Pat Haden, from now until eternity.

So many of those guys did jack shit in college

Yes. That is fucking laughable.

It’a know kinda funny/pathetic that one of the top 5-6 players listed was a backup plan for Sark (Rashaad Penny). Fucker couldn’t coach nor evaluate talent.

There was a rather sizeable contingent on Doogman who wanted Wilcox hired to keep the mythical top 5 class intact.

It's a good thing the players didn't pass a petition around to sign

That article was in November, and only three of the kids on our radar at that time ended up signing. Our 2014 class was thrown together with Elmer’s glue in less than two months, yet the returns have been incredible. Budda, Dante, and SMFJ were/are All Americans. McGary and Gaines are All Conference. Jojo and Jaylen will be in that conversation next year. Sample and Dissly weren’t slouches either, and even Sosebee is reliable depth. To get that kind of contribution out of plan B and C guys (pretty much anyone besides Budda and Kaleb) is nothing short of extraordinary.

uw coaches are good, but they are not good. They got fucking lucky with that class. recruiting sometimes is about luck.
