Summary: Lots of dreck at the bottom as you would expect from a transition class. The top of the class is incredible for a class rated 38 in the composite though. So far you have one first round pick, three second round picks, and a fourth rounder (and one of the second rounders would have been a first but for an injury incurred after finishing his play at UW). Then you have McGary, Gaines, Johnson and McIntosh who all have a decent shot at worst of getting drafted this year. When it's all said and done you're probably looking at 8 to 9 draft picks with probably at least 5 1st or 2nd day picks (assuming McGary goes top 3 rounds which he should).
I know we've discussed this class a lot but I haven't seen anyone sum it all for a couple years. The staff has gotten a highly impressive return on this class, which should make us? feel good about the future of the consistently higher rated classes they have gotten going forward from there.

Reason is simple. Pete cares about character. Pete cares about grades. Pete cares if a kid is actually passionate about football. Pete cares about work ethic. Pete doesn't give a shit about star rankings.dnc said:With eight redshirt seniors left (and a redshirt junior), the story of Pete's first class is getting close to being complete.

Our? 4* are the most solid 4* I've seen since I began following recruiting last month.

Well, I grew up on the beaches of Orange County surrounding by hot USC MILFS and you don't see me rooting for the Troojans as my #1 team. Maybe it's because I grew up in a unique moment in history where UW had become the real Left Coast Alpha and USC was has been beta program.creepycoug said:

TYFYS. This class has proven to be better than any of the highly sizzled Sark classes. If this is what Pete and staff do with a class at 38 I can't wait for my boner to snap the band of my sweats when 26, 29, 22 and 14 *fully mature.
I'm charging to maximum DOOg!
*normally my boner would hide away like like a whack-a-mole at a mature youth or men in general but in the case of winning it seems to make an exception. -
Too much Sosebee.
But still, holy shit. If we’ve done this well with this class, the mind boggles of where we’ll be once our good classes take root. -
Yep, basically my only complaint is we?re giving five years of eligibility to the James/Sosobee/Burlison trio, but that’s a minor quibble. This staff develops like nothing I’ve ever seen.Dennis_DeYoung said:Too much Sosebee.

The correlation between this class’ recruiting rankings and their Jesse Collier outcome is probably very high.
So, basically, the idea is that when Pete has even decent recruits, they generally end up being big time.
Now ready for some good news?
Every player we got in 2018 was rated higher than the 5th best player we got in 2014.
I repeat, the lowest rated player in our 2018 class would’ve been 5th in 2018. Think about that.
It bodes well. -

Just letting it sink it... if there were consistently that many NFL draftees per class, the roster could get the point to where there would be 30-40 NFL players on it at any given point.

I mostly agree but juat to temper the enthusiasm slightly there was likely a large heaping of good luck involved in the outcomes for 2014 kids since 2015 and 2016 aren't going to come anywhere close.Dennis_DeYoung said:Too much Sosebee.

2015 isn't going to be as good but will probably have 6 or 7 draft picks when all is said and done, that's not a terrible class.FremontTroll said:

Adams - likely first rounder
Miller - who knows but wouldn't shock me to see him day two
Joyner - will get drafted
Browning - probably late round
Gaskin - 4th or 5th round maybe?
BBK - first rounder!!! (jk)
Tevis - will have a career
2016 is still really early to judge. After two seasons on campus you wouldn't have predicted Pettis to get picked, let alone 2nd round. Definitely wouldn't have expected Dissly to get picked either. LIPO. But here's where we're at right now:
Murphy - high early entry guy
Rapp - high early entry guy
Wattenburg - probably drafted
Levi - probably drafted
-
Browning is a guy you invite to camp after the draft to discuss his options in Canada
-
Browning won't get drafted and Miller is 1st-2nd round easily if healthy
-
I always forget how the CFL has a smaller field and slower pace then NFL. Perfect fit for browning.RaceBannon said:Browning is a guy you invite to camp after the draft to discuss his options in Canada

4 maybe 5 draft picks from 2015 IMO and only one likely 1st-2nd rounder. Probably similar outcome for 2016.dnc said:

McGary seems like a lock for the top 3 rounds with an outside shot at round 1. Gaines seems like a lock to get picked. So that would be 5 1st or 2nd day picks and 7 draft picks total from this class.

As recruiting has leveled up it's probably unrealistic to think we'll do much better at the top of these last couple classes (though getting more than one first round pick out of them doesn't seem too doogish). The big difference will be that the middle of these classes should be a lot more productive going forward.
And then there's the next two classes. Holy shit. -

Summary: Lots of dreck at the bottom as you would expect from a transition class. The top of the class is incredible for a class rated 38 in the composite though. So far you have one first round pick, three second round picks, and a fourth rounder (and one of the second rounders would have been a first but for an injury incurred after finishing his play at UW). Then you have McGary, Gaines, Johnson and McIntosh who all have a decent shot at worst of getting drafted this year. When it's all said and done you're probably looking at 8 to 9 draft picks with probably at least 5 1st or 2nd day picks (assuming McGary goes top 3 rounds which he should).
I know we've discussed this class a lot but I haven't seen anyone sum it all for a couple years. The staff has gotten a highly impressive return on this class, which should make us? feel good about the future of the consistently higher rated classes they have gotten going forward from there.
As recruiting has leveled up it's probably unrealistic to think we'll do much better at the top of these last couple classes (though getting more than one first round pick out of them doesn't seem too doogish). The big difference will be that the middle of these classes should be a lot more productive going forward.
And then there's the next two classes. Holy shit.
So it will be 8 picks, at minimum. -
Revisiting this:dnc said:
2015 isn't going to be as good but will probably have 6 or 7 draft picks when all is said and done, that's not a terrible class.FremontTroll said:
I mostly agree but juat to temper the enthusiasm slightly there was likely a large heaping of good luck involved in the outcomes for 2014 kids since 2015 and 2016 aren't going to come anywhere close.Dennis_DeYoung said:Too much Sosebee.
But still, holy shit. If we’ve done this well with this class, the mind boggles of where we’ll be once our good classes take root.
Adams - likely first rounder
Miller - who knows but wouldn't shock me to see him day two
Joyner - will get drafted
Browning - probably late round
Gaskin - 4th or 5th round maybe?
BBK - first rounder!!! (jk)
Tevis - will have a career
2016 is still really early to judge. After two seasons on campus you wouldn't have predicted Pettis to get picked, let alone 2nd round. Definitely wouldn't have expected Dissly to get picked either. LIPO. But here's where we're at right now:
Murphy - high early entry guy
Rapp - high early entry guy
Wattenburg - probably drafted
Levi - probably drafted
2015 class
Adams - Still a first rounder if his health allows it
Miller - still think he gets picked, won't be day two
Joyner - RIP
Browning - nope
Gaskin - will get picked
BBK - sneaks into day 2 IMO
Tevis - probably not
2016 class
Murphy - first rounder
Rapp - first or second rounder
Wattenburg - still think he gets drafted
Levi - definitely think he gets drafted
Add:
2015
Hilbers - Gonna say yes. Biggest shock in the class?
Beavers - outside shot, needs to stay healthy and a big step forward
Pounds - no
Baccellia - no
Warren - no
Carty - lol
Clark - no
Roberts - no (biggest disappointment in the class?)
Scrempos - no
2016
Harris - will get drafted
Kizer (greyshirt) - probably yes because WTEU
Fuller - think he gets drafted late
Benning - outside shot, needs a big step forward
Wellington - outside shot, needs a big step forward
Myles Bryant* - probably getting picked
McGrew - not likely
Pleasant - probably not but possible
Chin - Chinconceivable
So it definitely looks like 2014 was better than 2015 or 2016, with 2016 probably going down as Pete's worst class at UW. And it will produce 6 or 7 draft picks. (I'll take 2015 over 2016 simply because you got four year starters at QB, RB and LT even though 2016 is probably a little better from a draft perspective).
