Pete kicked off Marcus Peters and Azeem Victor, two fast-strategy kids. He also kicked off Drew Lewis and Lavon Washington... (this is just off top of my head for guys removed from program). Shit is interesting. Now I want to look at the makeup of the entire roster over the last 10 years to figure this shit out and see what current patterns are developing.
Holy fuckall. I had no idea that generally poly>>>black>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>white
Thanks for posting that. With this knowledge our usual class should look just like this years. Load up on Poly's on either line and at LB (third of the class), load up on blacks at all skill positions and DB (third of the class), grab whites if you have to for QB, WTE and OL (third of the class). BAM. That's the way to do this.
So, I think we are making progress with Polys, clearly... one thing we don't really have any data on is mixed-race kids. For instance, we seem to be able to recruit players with one white parent (Spiker, Lowe, Gordon), but how are we doing with players who have two garden variety AfAm parents (non African).
For me, I'm not really making a eugenics argument, but what I'm doing is saying - can we win with a strategy that seems to require one white parent?
Part of this has to do with the fact that our messaging in recruiting is going to primarily appeal to middle class kids who have had stable environments in childhood.
Humans generally fall into two camps: SLOW STRATEGY and FAST STRATEGY.
Here are the characteristics of each...
The reason this matters for recruiting is the following, most recruits are going to be FAST strategy.
You tend to become FAST strategy (I am) if you had a poor womb environment (I'm adopted, my biological mother was a heroin addict) and unstable environments in early childhood (we were poor and my dad was a raging weirdo). The evolutionary logic goes like this: shit, things are fucked up - I'm going to need to reproduce, better get to puberty fast (this is why chicks at ghetto junior highs have bigger boobs), be impulsive and fuck a lot.
You tend to become SLOW strategy (I am not) if you had a good womb environment (prenatal care, lots of nutrition, not too much stress) and a predictable, stable early childhood environment (enough to eat, etc). The evolutionary logic goes like this: hey, things are good, let's build a palace - I know that takes time, but we have the resources to do it. Everything should be carefully done with an eye toward the future.
This is generally why white people (in the US) are boring and great innovators in creative endeavors tend to come from disadvantaged back-grounds.
What this has to do with recruiting is obvious: we are basically optimizing our program to appeal to SLOW STRATEGY kids. This means that telling a FAST STRATEGY kid, 'this is going to be the hardest thing you'll ever do' is probably not going to be a message that resonates.
There are two reasons why I think this is an unfortunate recruiting pitch.
1. You are basically eliminating fast strategy kids from contention (and those are generally going to be what poor kids are). 2. You deny the awesome benefits of Pete's program to those kids because of their lack of ability to appreciate it on the front end.
Anyway, that's your evolutionary biology lecture for today, but I think one reason we are getting whiter and whiter (most of what we call 'black' kids on our team have non-black parents), is that we are primarily appealing to SLOW STRATEGY kids. There are just WAY more white kids like that and kids like Terrell Bynum who are from middle + classes.
If you've ever watched the 30 for 30 on the Fab 5 and their criticisms of guys like Grant Hill, this is the essence of that difference (though there are amplifying cultural factors, obviously).
I just don't think we can win Natties with a program that is tailored to appeal to and serve SLOW STRATEGY kids. I think we need to make some room for getting FAST STRATEGY kids in the program and working with them when they're here. Research shows that FAST strategy kids do exceptionally well in good, supportive environments, by the way.
This posts fucks(a lot). Actually, learned something.

Number 2 above is as salient a point as I've read in awhile. Not trying to suck you off (yes I am) but that is some next level crootin shit. When you can resonate with a dumb drunk injun, you know you are laying shit down right.
Me and you are fast strategy bros. It’s clear as day you are FS (lulz).
I’m happy to answer any questions. My real life job has to do with this.
Stand by for PM. Will take me an hour to write it. I'm easily distracted. Probably another FAST strategy trait or some shit.

People didn't really get all that upset when Lavar Ball said UCLA lost last year because they had too many white guys around Lonzo
Because deep down we all know its true. It drove me crazy when Duke or NC would beat the Fab 5 or the Runnin Rebels or Georgetown because back then some white guys and white black guys were the formula as boring as it was. Grant Hill got the last laugh.
Basketball has changed and so has football. Its ok to point out that white people struggle

Fuck I feel stoopid! I just figured we needed more BBC. Tongans with big dongas. Poly’s With big doly’s. Also, WTE that are bwc.
Running through the roster, without knowing life stories and all that on all of our guys, I think the only fast strategy white guy I can think of off the top of my head is... Kaleb McGary.
The only other white guys who might be Fast Strategy on the roster are: Gaines, Sosebee, and Kirkland. With no real background story on those guys it is difficult to tell though. I'll let @Dennis_DeYoung point out if I am wrong here since he is the actual expert.

McGary's going to Oregon State where he can hunt everyday.

Exactly why I believe he is fast strategy. Reading the paper it's about budgeting your energy. In the article on McGary it talks about how he was basically a farmer at a young age and hunted at a young age too. He developed quickly and was ready to get to work pronto because he wanted to present himself as a suitable mate to females.

I wasn't saying you're wrong, just a) making fun of Ecklund b) poonting out that even our token fast strategy white is cracker as fuck.

I was just pontificating on my idea a bit more. I got the shot at Ecklund and appreciate it good sir.
I bet the hunting thing for white kids is equivalent to jewelry or tattoos for black kids from the fast strategy side of things. (AKA... the races aren't different at all, just different interests)
This is really interesting stuff. Black>White in sports is an easy distinction but having the complete breakdown is pretty sobering. The UW will continue to struggle on the big stage unless we can stack depth with enough Poly, stable black and mixed race slow strategy kids. Our defensive backfield as a whole being case in point. (Thank you Jimmy Lake!) The defensive line should and appears to be getting filled by Poly kids (Finally) as that is our best option for power and depth and the linebackers have been an abject failure in terms of size of athlete until this cycle. We can succeed on the o-line with white, Poly and Latino kids as Huff appears to FUCK. The receivers are being nicely stacked with slow strategy kids that I think will win the all crucial one on one battles and running back absolutely has got to be BLACK. I feel that we can compete and win a title but it will take a special blend of slow strategy talent, depth and a transcendent QB. All that said, Jake Browning sucks.
Here's a big question, can a black coach do a significantly enough better job of making the slow strategy approach appeal to black kids to actually get them to sign on? Obviously Bonerpopper and Lake do the best job of bringing in black kids on the staff, but they also recruit the blackest positions. Are they getting black kids because they're black, or because that's the position they recruit? I'm guessing with Lake it's A and Keif it's B. Would a black coach on the DL or LB do a better job getting Fast Strategy kids to buy into Slow Strategy life? Obviously it would have to be the right black coach, but it seems likely the answer is yes.
The next question is how well do poly coaches sell fast strategy to black kids since we have two on our staff and another poised to be promoted?
Final thought - how the fuck did Huff pull Curne from Texas??? That might have been the recruiting job of the year.

It’s hard to totally tell on any one kid, but Terrell Bynum isn’t fast.
Also, when Dante Pettis poasts things on social media that say “Light Skin U!” this is why.
It’s actually one reason for ongoing conflict in Black American culture regarding skin tone (though obviously only a few people know about this).
