Petersen was hired December 6, 2013 - four days after Sarkisian accepted Pat Haden's offer.
UW ended up signing 24 players less than 2 months after Pete got hired.
A few stars and some really solid contributors, too: Budda, Sidney Jones, Pettis, Gaines, McGary, McIntosh, Sample, Jaylen Johnson.
Not bad for two months work by the new staff.
But what's interesting are the four guys who committed under the previous staff and whose scholarships were honored by Pete.
Jamie Bryant — Never played a snap
Matt James — Started first two games of 2015 while Strausser got Trey Adams ready; been anchored to the bench ever since
Drew Lewis — Never played a snap
Lavon Washington — Never played a snap
It's hard to overstate how much UW Football was cratering when Pat Haden threw us a lifeline and Pete accepted it.

What is even more interesting is that none of the kids who verbaled to Sark and then decommitted after he left ever did shit either: http://hardcorehusky.com/forums/#/discussion/44142/where-are-they-now-sark-s-2014-verbals
The longer Sark stayed at UW, the worse he got.
Not much more to it than that.
Oddly, Trey committed to Sark too... so he's probably technically, 'the last Sark recruit'.
Also, Trey Adams has said he was essentially decommitted from UW when Sark was there. He was planning to go elsewhere until Sark left.
Just like Budda was locked up for UW even though he was committed to Oregon when Sark was announced as USC's new coach (har, har).
