    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.

    It also had Vea. A lot of studs in that class.

    What a difference four years makes.

    We have different definitions of "fun".

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

    Peterman salvaged that class.
