DDY in particular was pissed by that hire and didn't think Junior had the energy or the personality to recruit

No good meltdowns yet, as it's still just moments after it happened so I'll have to poast the good ones later, but here are some:
- (Pre Commitment This Morning) The fact that he didn’t commit this weekend is a good sign for ND. He clearly isn’t a 100% lock considering his 7 on 7 QB is a Washington commit and was on campus with him. I’m sure Washington was pressing him to commit and he chose not to.
- (45 Minutes Before Commitment) That last part is just wrong. Loy nailed the Asa Turner recruitment. WASH mods were saying he wasn't even listening to ND and was going to sign early with WASH. Loy sat back and said not so fast. That is a player committed to the other school where Loy has a better read than their mods. While he ended up signing with WASH Loy was the first one to report that the momentum swung back to WASH after his AA games. Loy always has a great read on the kids because he talks to them and hears what they say and how they say it. Sometimes they have a change of heart, and sometimes they have multiple - and Loy is usually the first guy to know. I am not saying JM is coming to ND or going to WASH because I am sure JM doesn't even know at this point. He could be favoring WASH out of that visit but that things can certainly change. PLEASE try to not always be so negative!
- I thought mom didnt have a preference.
- According to ND sources and two out west sources we had the lead according to this site.
- Sorry man but I had a bunch of posters telling me all kind of shit about McMillan and it was just flat wrong and everyone but this board apparently knew it.
- Disappointing and comical. At least we consistently finish 2nd.
- About that... haha, Wiltfong didn't even have ND as the runner-up. He suspects that McMillan ultimately chose Washington over Oklahoma.
- We get he committed to Washington. Not surprised, no need to rub it in that you were right.
- The coaching staff is doing a good job overall recruiting, but it seems sometimes they are too optimistic on where they stand with some recruits.
- Well, eff! Went from “getting” one of the best WR classes in the country to looking at B targets in a week.
- I am pissed this let's take late official strategy sucks and we are missing kids left and right, sorry to interrupt Kelly's summer time but get off your ass and bring these kids in.
- I never bought into ND landing McMillan. It happens every year. I'll believe it when a Fresno kid suites up for a game. I wouldn't even be 100% convinced on signing day.
- There is a good chance he never even plays with Huard at Washington if he goes there. He’s a 2021.
- Putting faith in any California skill position recruit is mind numbingly dumb, IMO. To me it doesn't really matter how good the Irish feel - these guys are notoriously flaky and are far more often misses than hits when it comes to development once enrolled.
- Why do we even waste time recruiting California? If a guy is really good and commits early like Buchner (or is a very good fit, great player, and has ties to ND, then okay) Our “hit rate” on getting commits there is terrible and our “hit rate” on the guys who do commit and actually become players is very low as well. If you add up every guy that ND actively recruits and spends a lot time recruiting out of Cali and then compare it to actual production on the field, there is a huge disparity that dwarfs any other state.
The Natives are restless and turning on Loy:
- So can I criticize loy and praise Washington for this one now that he just committed, just curious?
- Gotta admit, he's had some issues with his sources for elite prospects this cycle. No shade thrown but this was an uphill battle from the start.
- I wonder if there's much of a backstory on this one and whether we'll have to wait until post-NSD.
- Agreed, I never understood the CB from loy and the consistent ND feels good talk and west coast sources when everyone else contradicted that, literally everyone,
- Henning and mcmillan were just bad CBs the last 5 weeks, both should have been changed weeks if not months ago... just not an accurate portrayal of what was going on in their recruitments.
- I'm not negative I said McMillan and Henning weren't coming weeks ago, that isnt negative that is reality.

Tracy loves him some Junior Adams, Gee Scott Sr loves him some Junior Adams, but most importantly, the recruits love them some Junior Adams.RDR said: -
“I’m canceling all trips now”, he added, “I’ll probably be coming up when they play Cal (for an official visit to Washington).”
McMillan’s family is also very excited, “My mom got teary-eyed”, he said, and he added that his little sister is already hooked and is a Husky fan.

Most important commitment of this class regardless of who commits down the road. When you get a commitment of this caliber in fucking June, other recruits take notice and it elevates the perception of UW and makes other high caliber recruits want to join this class as well. The #1 WR in the West, a 5* in my mind, and a likely 5* when the final rankings come out. This never fucking happens to us but now, IT'S HAPPENING! LETS GOOOOO! Junior Adams just came in and changed the game!

Tom Loy - Gee golly Whittakers. I have no idea what the heck happened. In all my years of recruiting this is one of the strangest cases.

CHANGE IT TO COMMITTED YOU ASSHOLES.

Agree. I hope we push for a later date. I don't want this to become this year's asa turnerGrundleStiltzkin said:

Congrats. As much as I hate to say it, we need these prospects to stay in the PAC 12.

The same was said about the Huff hire. Two of our best recruiters on staff right away. Not even Malloe could recruit on this level out of the gates.insinceredawg said:Remember when BDTW told us Junior sucked and we should have hired Skyler Fulton instead?

Good lord. Half of the fuck sticks on this site knew Jalen was a lock and Tom Loy apparently had no clue. He is not dialed the fuck in.RDR said:dhdawg said:I no longer have a scout subscription but there are two threads in this in Irish Illustrated.

That's right. They wanted us to hire Klayton Adams from CU instead. He appears to have gone the Chris Strausser route and is currently an assistant OL coach in the NFL.dawgs206 said:

love the TSIO guys but they should stick to TBSing instead of recommending coaching hires. -
Wiltfong:
One of the better deep play guys in this class that I've seen in person, easily separates too, smooth, fast and dependable.
Oklahoma led at one point, Washington wins out over the Sooners in my opinion -
Man, I also got teary-eyed reading that. Huard is going to be a fucking ace recruiter for years. He's getting guys in classes BEFORE his own. How is that even possible!?

The hands and the smoothness pop out on tape. He’s like a bigger Dante Pettis, on crack. And Dante was fucking amazingDoogCourics said:Wiltfong:

Recommending coaching hires is fine, they have knowledge and do their research so I trust them on that end. Hating a coach just because he wasn't on the list is ridiculous though, especially without even 1 full recruiting cycle.insinceredawg said:

Anybody paying attention could translate that Adams could coach ... the testimonials are pretty important to me
The question for anybody when they move up levels is can they recruit at the level required. That’s always a bit of a crap shoot but there are obviously built in advantages when you recruit with the Washington brand that strengthen your messaging from Day 1.
Generally speaking, Pete’s hires after coming to UW have been spot on with the exception of Lubick and that’s just an odd one ... seems like he just lost it for whatever reason -
Also, I seem to remember @Dennis_DeYoung owning the coaching hire missteps and saying he would be sure to hate the Jr. Adams hire so that he would be a success. I for one THFHS in falling on the sword.

Exactly. Like Ektard said the other day... I'm still predicting UW will sign 3 OL this class, but I wouldn't be surprised if they sign 4.Meek said:RDR said:dhdawg said:I no longer have a scout subscription but there are two threads in this in Irish Illustrated.
