Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

BUCK Recruiting

Okay - so just to remind everyone who is on the bored at BUCK...

GUYS WITH OFFERS (rankings mine):
1. Kayvon T. - No chance in hell even though he spent all winter saying he really liked UW. When the Bruce Waynes came in, we are in the corner waving.
2. Bru McCoy - Maybe more of a SAM. Had us in his top 5. Never coming here because we can't recruit good players.
3. Laiatu Latu - Amazing player, going to Bama, Cal, Stanford or USC.
4. Treven Ma'ae - Fucking incredible talent, never coming to UW.
5. Josh Pakola - Going to Stanford.
6. Marcus Hicks - lol
7. Isreal Isuman-Hundley - You think we are going to get a black and African kid who plays BUCK out of Texas? lulz
8. Peter Mpagi - You think we are going to get an African kid who plays BUCK out of Texas (if he has offers from anyone in-state)? lulz
9. Bralen Trice - We could get him... primarily because I don't like his film very much.

Others we have no shot at: Mase Funa, Mataio Soli, Colt Ellison—not that I want him, Ty Robinson... etc.

GUYS WITHOUT OFFERS
1. Dylan Hall - I really like this kid a lot and I suspect we will wait until the above guys all spurn us to offer and then it will be too late.
2. Orin Patu - probably more of a SAM, hips not super wide, but a good looking player that I'd be fine with offering.
3. Justus Legg - Unless he has a Joe Tryon level senior season, he's out of the running. Looked great as a soph, but because we are cursed he sucked as a junior.
4. Alphonzo Tuputala - He said a while ago we were recruiting him at BUCK, so I'll throw him in here. It's possible he gets an offer. He's pretty good.

So, in sum: We won't get anyone good again this year, because no matter how many times you send Corky up to 10s in a bar in Scottsdale, he's not going to fuck. It doesn't matter how long he's been talking to them and it doesn't matter if they think he's a nice, stable guy.

    The “We don’t have to recruit because we are Washington and a Washington offer means something” doesn’t fly nor resonate too well with the upper eschelon of recruits who really need the affirmation from colleges, coaches, tweets, and offers. Why are we still leaving local guys to be offered by everyone but us? Even that small step can reap dividends... but no, we’re Washington.

    It's not that they need affirmation - it's that we are competing.

    Again - think of this scenario... we are walking into a rich guy bar in Scottsdale, there are a bunch of 9.5s and 10s at the bar. And we are like 'hey, I run a hedge fund in Wisconsin and am worth 35mil' and then we go sit in the corner. But we are ugly and said it in an awkward way.

    Then a bunch of dudes who are just as rich (or more so) and better looking (looks in this analogy being brand) go up to them and throw down game all night. Every now and then we go back and are like 'remember me and the Wisconsin hedge fund? Do you like brats? God!! I love them. Even though I'm rich, I'm really down to earth. Going home with me will be the hardest thing you ever do, but it will be great for your soul.'

    That's not the chicks craving attention, that's us not understanding the fucking playing field. Jesus.

    Here's the plan Dennis: We land Foskey as a TE, we switch him to BUCK after he signs his LOI, we let him play in garbage time and maybe a few real snaps from time to time, then we cross our fingers he stays after his freshmen season.

    its ok im sure theres another heavy kid that can be stuck there and we can all pretend their slowness is actually by design hes intentionally just standing there like a fat potato to strategically increase his inertia and as twatkowski says his only real job is to set the edge because why would a pass rush be important

    Saban controls the fast strategy attention whore recruits by whipping them into shape in the middle of the field on a hot summer day. They keep coming in by the flatbed so it seems to work.

    I am a Bama fan that doesn't follow recruiting, because I know Saban will run a tight plantation and the recruits are no names until he has molded them into prize mandingos.

    Fucking wrong.

    Super fucking wrong.

    FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING WRONG.

    So, that would basically say that Bama - who gets nothing but these guys would be fucked, right?! Oh wait.

    THEY DO NOT CRAVE ATTENTION YOU FUCKING MORON. THEY GET ATTENTION, SO ATTENTION IS THE MINIMUM.

    Jesus fucking Christ what a bunch of losers.
    He's right. They demand attention with their presence- effirtlessly. Craving attention is for 6s. Girls (or high-level recruits) in the 9+ category want a confident man (or program) that will support them as they live their lives. That takes sustained confidence and success.

    Many (even successful) guys/coaches can't deal with the extra attention the 9+ wife (or recruit) garners. This is still a worry with Pete for me.

    On the other side of the coin, the confidence required to let your 9+ wife/girlfriend live their life without being an overbearing douche....is one reason why you frequently see guys with wives/girlfriends that are clearly out of their league.

    Okay, a fucking serious question then.

    Are we screwing up buck recruiting because:

    - we don't have coaches/recruiters that fuck as good in that department?
    - or buck recruiting has a higher natural level of fast strategy kids that don't resonate/attracted to Pete's okg philosophy?
    - or our coaches just don't want to deal with fast strategy kids at all? Or are very, very selective given how Pete seems to deal with the Marcus Peters types?

    I find it interesting that Littleton GIF how Littleton reacted to Pete.

    He initially pushed back a little. I immediately thought "fuck yeah, a little emotion and fast strategy juice"

    Then Pete kicked in and walked with the stare down and no talking towards Littleton and he backed up right away. I thought "shit, Littleton ain't gonna play anymore"

    Now, it seems that Littleton is doing well in the NFL so there's value.

    Fuck!
