Furious Five FUpdate or Bruce Wayne's Sloppy Seconds
Back in December DDY Wrote
"So, right now we are in an odd state as a program. We are doing 'pretty well' this recruiting class, but we are clearly a tier down from teams that get consistently good players like Bama, etc."
Our state moving forward according to DDY was significantly tied to signing the "Furious Five". That turned out like this so far.
1. Togiai (DDY3) tOSU Bagman & a Fat Fuckface Coach
2. Gordon (DDY3) STAYING HOME!!!
3. Kaho (DDY3) [As it stands, the only guy I think we have a DECENT chance with is Kaho.]~DDY called it
4. Irvin (DDY3) 81% chance he comes to UW
5. Tremblay (DDY2) The continued plungering by Marlon, USC's classic Ivan pitch, "So many of our players get injured you'll definitely get early playing time."
So far we've got 2/5 with a high probability of going 3/5 by Feb. This would mean that we have crossed the threshold that DDY established of "If we, somehow, manage to pull 3 of these guys... you will know shit is REALLY changing."
DDY also wrote "If, we somehow manage to land all these guys, we will be in rarified air. This will be a class that we put a spike in the ground on and say 'that's when our program changed'. But to do that, we are going to have to turn into a team that fucks. " This obviously can't happen. What I'm curious about though is if and how our remaining targets could affect the outlook on the class.
Here's a list of the most likely candidates still on the radar:
Most Likely
Jeremiah Martin
D.J. Johnson
Skinny Eason
Jackson Cravens
Poly Bowl Bruddah's
Tuli Letuligasenoa
Solomon Tuliaupupu
Merlin Robertson
Underwear Mission Kids
Tennessee Pututau
Tanner McKee
If Irvin signs and we land another two of these guys are we putting a spike in the ground? Which two would be the most impactful? Would it take all four of our most likely? How many would we take max?
TLDR Even though the chick we were talking to went home with Bruce Wayne for the night the girl he was banging in the bathroom just stumbled back to the bar at 1:45. Are we going to try and close on some sloppy seconds?

Where are you getting a high probability of Irvin?
I say we get Eason, Johnson, AssHarry, Martin, one of the Poly Bowel guys or Cravens and one of the mission guys. Though I do wonder if the 10th coach gives us a better shot at Irvin. Getting any three of those guys makes this an absolute monster class.
I think Robertson just looks hispanic, but is actually Poly. Ultimately, it's basically the same thing, so yeah.
Second, I'm still in assessment mode about who and what we are doing for this cycle.
I think our priorities are...
1. DJ - we are up against Oregon. Oregon is the Miami of the West Coast.
2. Martin - He's visiting Oregon before he 'visits' us. If we can get him on the visit that will be the key.
3. Irvin - I don't think USC has room and I think we can beat ND for him. Harris should help.
4. Tuliaupupu - No fucking shot in the world.
5. Tuli and everyone else - no fucking shot in the world.
I think Skinny is coming, but the fact that UGA won may throw it back into play. I don't really know... I just think when you finish second for a recruit, a lot of times you're friend-zoned for life.
I still think he’s coming here, but some of that may depend on how badly UGA wants to fight for him.
Now, with them ending too late for him to transfer in quickly, that's basically 2 months for him to get wooed by every BSD in college football that needs a QB.

Also, there are no good taquerias in Seattle. The only draw I can think of for this kid is playing for a championship caliber team and since all his first options seem to have cooled on him we are his best shot at that.
