    Oh, just the #1 rated CB in the West. No big deal.

    Aren't Steele and Wright ranked slightly higher?
    ...but still.

    Yeah, Chris Steele is probably a better prospect and is ranked higher. Wright and him are essentially at the same point.

    I don't understand rankings for recruits, frankly. I think you can kind of separate them into tiers, but that's about it. Either way, McDuffie is not an ELITE player (there aren't any elite CBs on the WC this year), but he's damn good. Pretty impressive bit of recruiting by Jimmy Lake.
    Of our current/likely commits who is truly ELITE?
    IMO

    Commits

    Tuitele
    Bandes
    Spam

    Likely

    Heimuli

    That’s it. Latu, Paama the rest of the DBs and all of the OL are a small step below. If we somehow get Ford he’s there.
    This. I want to see senior film on a couple of these guys. I think the guys we were in on who were truly, truly elite we lost all of them but Tuitele (Ngata, Charbonnet, McCoy).

    I think Spam is close. I think Heimuli is.
    Who from the last 3 classes would you call truly, truly elite°?
    Bryon, Taylor, Tuli. Hunter. We don't really get many of these guys.

    Our recruiting has a long ways to go. We are doing better than ever, but if we want to be a top 5 team our classes have to be consistently top 10.

    Next year we have a real shot, but we will probably find a way to cock it up.
    We've consistently cocked it up in previous years so why not?

    Kelee would be the best recruit Pete's ever signed and he could be as low as the third best recruit in next year's class depending on where you rank Hatchett.

    Smalls could be the best recruit UW's ever signed.

    And 2021 could be as good or better at the top.

    Or we could whiff on them all not named Huard.

    #TimeToLevelUp
    Exactly. I think there are like 10 guys next year we are in on who are elite. But honestly, I don't have much hope.

    QB: Bryce Young we are still recruiting, but we got blown out for him even though they will have a new coach and they have a new OC.
    RB: We didn't even make Kendall Milton's top 10; Bijan Robinson is elite and likes us, but I don't see any way we get him.
    WR: Johnny Wilson is elite. I don't think we will get him.
    OL: Hatchett is elite - Coker thinks he's going to Oklahoma. I think we have a good shot, but we shall see. Myles Murao is pretty fucking elite. Maybe?
    OLB: Smalls obviously, but I'm not optimistic. Pete Latu is elite, but I don't think he has the grades, sadly.
    LB: Justin Flowe - lol no. Botelho is up there.
    DB: Ringo, Ricks.

    Out of all these guys I don't see any obvious wins. Murao is probably closest, but you always have to assume anyone good at MD is going to USC.

    Smalls and Ringo are possible, but Ringo's mom is probably going to bone us. Smalls is a hard call. I still don't think we have the 'brand' that attracts these kinds of players. That's why we can't seem to get the Fozzies, etc.

    The most true and by far the most depressing thing I’ll read for awhile so just like the rest of my problems I’m going to alter my state of consciousness to hopefully forget about it and start dooging all over myself when McDuffie commits and convincing myself we’ll get every single recruit on the west coast next year setting up my eventual suicide when we miraculously just get one of those guys.
