It's great, I forgot that this board has a token black, a token native, a token asian. I can see how I fit in as a token latino. It's like I was born to do this. Now we just need a poly man so we can be a truly multiethnical board.

Here's a big question, can a black coach do a better job of making the slow strategy approach appeal to black kids? 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.
I think curne comes from a fairly nice middle class black family that understand what Pete is selling. If curne was from the hood, then a different story. @Tequilla is the high school curne went to in the hood?
The correct person to ask here is @WilburHooksHands - he's the keeper of all Houston knowledge.
His handle is hard to recall from memory, so fuck him.
It's comical, and probably fitting, how close this reasoning is getting to the taboo of "HBD". DDY, are you a reader of Pinker, Lynn, Nisbett, etc.? Perhaps more bombastic or recent types like Charles Murray, Eric/Bret Weinstin, or others in the headlines?

@Dennis_DeYoung you forgot the Zulus in Soufffff Africa. Those guys tear shit up.
In sports? I don't follow soccer, so they well could... there are a lot of theories about why West Africans seem to be so dominant in sport, but a) it doesn't seem equally distributed across all Africa and b) there's not really a good handle on it right now, partially because it's so controversial of a topic.
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.
#FastStrategy
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 THINK I GET IT!
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)

Zulus are bantus which means they are closely related to the West African tribes.

They migrated too far, however, and got shitty at sports.

This graphic would be better if it was more penis shaped.

Zulus are great sprinters. That happens when you have the hunt #MySpringBok and have to contend with lions and shit.
There’s a lot of implications to this and UW ... a lot of good whiskey could be consumed while discussing ...
Long story short though the positions where we struggle to recruit the most are at positions where you are most likely to be looking at “fast” type of individuals

Told you guys we needed a Nigerian DL coach. I was hoping Onwuzurike could bring us a Nigerian DL pipeline, they're usually raw but with good coaching those guys can become elite with their athletcism for their size.
@ExtraChrisB - etc. We are a quite diverse group for UW fans (given that centering your life around SEA is a prerequisite on some level for being here and the PNW is one of the whitest places in America.
As a slow-strategy (based on that framework) blindingly white boi from an east-coast public HS which was roughly 33% black 30% latino and 25% white (rest Asian/middle eastern/African/other), the joke when I went to UW/lived in SEA was that if I saw a black person they played for the Huskies/Seahawks/Sonics.
It is definitely true that people are far more creative and innovative when they have limited resources.
It's also an interesting framework to apply to the old tyme row boat legends. Joe Rantz would without question be considered fast-strategy based on that framework but was someone who reaped the benefits of the stable, supportive environment of Washington Rowing.

I don't keep up with the science headlines like that, but I've driven Dick Nisbett to a bar.
Holleee fuck he is African name
