Class of 2019 Projections

First off, Helton is getting unfairly criticized. How can you expect to win with a QB that should be a Sr in high school? If he is winning less than 6 games when JT is a Jr then might, maybe, but people are being completely unfair to that guy. Completely unfair.
But if they do to something stupid and fire him, how many of the Duck's commits become fair game? With a good coach (or at least a good recruiter) I can picture them poaching at least 4 or 5 of those guys to cobble together a last-minute recruiting class. -
Usc would have to fire him pretty damn quick then, right? Early signing period and all.HoustonHusky said:First off, Helton is getting unfairly criticized.

Tsio addressed this concept a few pods back iirc. . -

UW will finish with:
Daniel Heimuli: UW lean
Faatui Tuitele: UW lean
Stephon Wright: UW lean IMO
Isaiah Foskey: UW vs Notre Dame, Notre Dame has yet to beat us for a guy so why should I think this time will be different?
Sean Rhyan: USC's O-line is trash. They're one of the worst rushing teams in the country. If Helton isn't fired, their O-line coach definitely will be. Where else is he going to go if O-line player development at USC sucks? Huff is probably the coolest O-line coach recruiting him and probably has the best relationship with him.
Bru McCoy: USC coaching sucks, he and his dad love UW and Coach Pete.
Kyle Ford: USC coaching sucks. He has a bunch of homies on the team at UW already. Would fit right in and knows he'll get developed here.
and maybe Drew Fowler or the 3* BTE who hasn't been offered yet if they have room.

@HillsboroDuck, Ecklund, Section14A, a Q???????
Who the fuck is @DNC?
Is Tuputala definitely playing OLB? For some reason I thought he was being recruited at ILB.
You think we're done at OLB? I was really hoping we could pull either Latu or Foskey.
Heimuli is a super important recruit for this class. Maybe the most important given how shitty our depth & talent is at that position. Really hope we can nail down that kid.

I would certainly need to get out of the house and purchase some new sweatpants if this happens.StrongArmCobra said:UW will finish with:

I think that with:HillsboroDuck said:I'm expecting a class of at 24-25 at this point, with at least one more DB guaranteed, one more ILB highly likely, one more DL likely, and everything else up in the air based on who they can get in the boat.
Remaining targets (guys I think we would take a commit from right now):
5 stars
McCoy - WR, OLB
Ford - WR
4 stars
Rhyan - OL (in position to be a 247 5 star)
Heimuli - MLB
McDuffie - DB
Latu - OLB
Foskey - OLB
Ika - DL
Vimahi - OL
To'oto'o - MLB
Possible targets (fallbacks or guys they could be recruiting that we're not sure of)
Wright - DL (4 star)
Steele - DB (4 star)
Chase - DB (4 star)
Kejuan Markham - DB (247 4 star, composite 3 star)
McMillian - DB (3 star)
Archer - TE (3 star)
LPJ - DB (3 star)
Javin Wright (3 star)
Guys I think we add:
Heimuli (high confidence)
Wright (guessing Ika doesn't want us and we take him)
McDuffie (getting nervous since we haven't heard any buzz since his visit, he's been silent on twitter as well outside of liking Calvert's commitment tweet and Hutson's SC decommitment tweet, which says he's been on twitter just hasn't had anything to say. OTOH, In Jimmy Lake I Trust!)
Guys I think aren't coming here:
Ika - Hasn't ever seemed that into us. Ikaika's a machine but this one seems unlikely.
To'oto'o - Tosh'oto'o
Foskey - Expanding your list after visiting UW screams "I haven't found the place I want to be".
McCoy - lol
Ford - ditto
Guys I have no idea on so we may HASWTKs:
Vimahi
Rhyan
Steele
Latu
Guys who would jump at a committable offer:
Chase
LPJ
Wright
McMillian
With 5-6 spots to play with, the big recruiting weekends in December to come, then the Poly Bowel, then the chance to Bruce Wayne in on high value targets after the early signing period like we did with Irving and Tuli last year and I'd be disappointed if we don't add at least 4 more 4 stars to the mix. 4 gets you to 15 247 4 stars and 13 composite. That's a great class. And then there's the outside shot at Bandes getting a 5 star, adding Rhyan and him adding a 5th star, or getting either of the 5 star receivers.

- usc imploding
- ucla showing signs of life (but would you play for coach Kelly?)
- Oregon doing okay but huge question of herbert (potential post herbert)
- Arizona schools lol
- stanford not being stanford-like
- OSU lol
- Washington state trending upward but do you really want to go there?
- Utah doing well but that has been traditionally like going backwards for recruits...
Some interesting times
If it is to be believed from Ruth, bru potentially coming for a third unofficial would be huge.
Ford suffering an injury and needing time to recover, would it make sense to go to a school that has stability and allow to to develop that's not a dumpster 🔥 like usc?
Since we have duplication at dl but less at edge save for trice, it would make sense they are making sure wright is 100% before taking him.
Ryhan has supposedly been very low profile on the circuit which fucks up the usual recuiting site assessments of him. He was CB to USC by some lazy people but i have a feeling he's not a usc guy and has spoken very complimentary of uw ...
Feeling doogish I'll counter that expanding your list after visiting (foskey) may just be a reaction to the "take your visits" mantra from Petersen. Remember he's a Poly bowl kid and we have a ton of influence and momentum at that event. Its gonna be lit! Plus hes being recruited as a defensive player ...
So many targets and current commits are going to the poly bowl. Huge event

Not delusional this time around. If you were one of these elite recruits would you go to USC over UW right now? You'd have to be stupid as fuck right? Their current coaching staff is trash so if you're going to USC you're either going to have a shit coaching staff that can't develop players and can't game plan or a new coaching staff that you didn't sign up for that might also turn out to be shit. UW is in prime position to be a safety net for these elite recruits that would traditionally go to SC but won't because of the instability there.WeakarmCobra said:
