    Yeah this is what happens when there is no UW insider making crystal ball picks. Wiltfong isn't fucking god. He's accurate because he stays on top of his picks and changes them at the last minute when he's wrong whereas others are more lazy and don't. UW doesn't get crystal picks unless it's blatantly obvious they're the leader or a commitment to UW is imminent. This kid is UW's if they want him. Trust me. The question is would they take both him and Latu? ;)

    You realize that 7 of Oregon's commits so far had UW offers, right? That's almost 10% of Washington's total offers. Washington doesn't have 7 players with Oregon offers, and Cristobal has sent about 300 of them. Are you saying none of them so far were commitable?

    I hate to break it to you, but there are actually players out there that will choose Oregon even if Washington wants them. Simple fact.

    You stole a few of our commits in the years since Kelly left, now Cristobal is doing the same. Cristobal might not be a good coach or at best he's LIPO. But to understate the recruiting job he has done so far is retarded. You have to be the doogliest of doogs to not see that Cristobal is doing work on the recruiting trail. That's only 1/3 of the job along with player development and in game coaching, but it's an A at worst for the first third. Nobody other than you will disagree with me on this. You can say it's overrated, but to be 2nd in the country behind only Alabama (according to Rivals), even being overrated, this class is fucking good if not great so far.

    Mycah Wright might be the only one who had a committable offer from UW. But at the same time there was no indication that UW was after him hard when he committed to Oregon so I don't know for sure. Pittman, Delgado, and Criddell all wanted to go to UW over Oregon but UW wouldn't take them. Sad day for them. Dollars was dropped after Davis committed and even before that he was never a top target for UW at RB. They stopped recruiting Jonah T a long time ago. Keyon Ware-Hudson never had a committable offer from UW and admitted he was barely hearing from them or USC when he committed to Oregon.

    Cristobal has done a nice job keeping Oregon where they should be out West as the #3 best option for kids who can't get into Stanford. He's also done a nice job getting soft commitments from a couple guys USC wants. He's also done a nice job finding a couple "4-star" guys from the East coast who don't have commitable offers from the big boys in their region but are good enough for Oregon. Very overrated yes. But certainly better than the shit Helfrich was bringing in.

    Or Washington stopped recruiting them when they realized they were hard Oregon leans. But no, that's impossible...

    Thanks ruth. Any truth to the rumors that UW has shut down recruiting for 2019? I heard they are happy with who committed and don't want to deal with another kaho situation by letting anyone else commit so late.

    No doubt this is a significant win on the recruiting trail against USC and other big time programs. But like we like to say here at HH, it ain't over 'til they become grad transfers

    You just gotta let Ballz be Ballz man.

    Criddell, Delgado, Pittman, and Dollars I agree UW DWTA but Jonah T. absolutely had a committable offer. That kid is a beast and is easily one of the best OL recruits on the west coast. Initially UW was recruiting pretty him hard and he would have been a great addition to the OL class but just not sure he ever really had that much interest or connection with UW other than being cousins with Kaelpo.

    No doubt this is a significant win on the recruiting trail against USC and other big time programs. But like we like to say here at HH, it ain't over 'til they commit, sign the LOI, move to Seattle, enroll in classes.
    Agree except Cridell

    We heaven't heard shit about that kid since he was offered. Nothing. Even though UW doesn't offer a lot of guys they still offer way more than they can take and stop recruiting certain guys after figuring out who's the best fit for them. Jonah is Kalepo's cousin and Kalepo is the biggest peer recruiter we've ever had. If UW was after him we would have heard about it and they would have tried to use that family connection to their advantage but they didn't. Not saying the kid sucks. He looks talented no doubt but was not a top target for UW. That's not a win over UW that Oregon can claim. That is a USC, Oregon, Oklahoma battle. Beat UW for Enokk Vimahi or one of their other top targets and then you can talk shit. Still hasn't happened yet and UW easily flipped one of Oregon's former commits.

    Cristoballz is killing it. It's obvious. I have no idea how many of these are Sark 4 star types with hardly any high end offers, but it is still good by any measure.

    Now, I have my doubts about how this cat can manage a program, but LIPO I guess. I smell Sark on this one, but I am wrong all the time. I thought Lockner was going to win the Heisman.
    Good enough recruiting for now but it's August. We literally went through this last year and the quooks cant remember. Let's see how the recruiting class looks when they have only seven wins and the blue bloods come calling in December.

    So if UW is interested in a kid, that kid shows no return interest, UW stops recruiting him, and he commits to Oregon.

    Is that not a win over UW in your mind?
    Nope. I don't know how interested he was in UW. It's possible UW was honest with him from the beginning and told him he's not a LT prospect and he didn't like that whereas Oregon lied to him and said they like him at LT. It's possible he just wasn't the right fit and they like other guys more. Only he and the coaches know how interested he was in UW but what I do know is UW hasn't been recruiting him for months. So no, it's not a direct win over UW for Oregon. When Kayvon Thibodeaux commits to wherever the fuck he commits, the school that he commits to won't be beating UW for his commitment. Yes, UW offered but they stopped recruiting him a long time ago. When Austin Jones committed to Stanford was that a loss for UW? No. UW has offered 80 recruits. When about 60 of them commit elsewhere are those all losses? No. UW has their top targets within those 80 guys. Jonah T was not one of them.

    They haven't decided if he'll play CB or slot receiver yet, but either way he should be in the mix immediately for kick return duties.

    You're missing the main point- WHY did UW stop recruiting a kid?

    1. Because after further evaluation and diligence they decided he wasn't a good fit or had other guys higher on their board?
    or
    2. UW swung and missed and then gave up after obviously not being on kid's short list.

    You seem to think scenario two NEVER happens.
    Scenario #1 is a lot more likely at this point. Five years ago. Sure, scenario #2 would be possible if not likely. But a kid not being interested in UW at all and loving Oregon. Nobody is that stupid.

    Sark's recruiting classes at UW would've looked a lot better if he wasn't allergic to recruiting offensive linemen.
    That’s the difference. Cristobal is actually recruiting beef that can play.
