The art of Sark's recruiting classes in a few steps
Step 1: Recruit the top recruits 10 years in advance before any school offers. Sark picks up a couple of higher profile recruits because why not? They now have a safety valve if they get injured or useless.
Step 2: Be in the running for some of the best recruits. Hey Sark just came in 8th for a recruit that every college even Bama wanted, just shows you how much credibility Sark has brought back to UW since 0-12
Step 3. Get a lot of commits from skill position players (namely WRs). They are speedy and have sexy youtube highlights to keep the doogs drooling keeping them distracted from the trenches recruiting.
Step 4: Lose out to local O line recruits to Stanford, Oregon State, USC etc. None of these kids really bleed purple and gold plus my sources at doogman said they will be busts or won't get in.
Step 5: Get a couple "diamond in the rough" recruits for the Offensive and Defensive line. These boys have the attitude and are going to be ready to rumble. Potential 1st rounders with one of the guys who was also being recruited by San Jose State, Wyoming, and Florida International might be a top 5/10 type of talent.
Step 6: Remember step 1? Well now it is time to decide on a REAL college and those recruits who looked great on paper are gone, *poof*. He will retain 1 or 2 but lose the ones who will go on to shine in their first 1 or 2 years.
Step 7: Make a late push for some 4 star guy who commited to Cal/Col/WSU, you know another one of the Pac 12 powerhouses. Get him to switch and now losing all the guys who could make an early impact are in the rearview mirror by someone who will suck their junior year.
Step 8: On signing day get a fax from 1 other 3/4 star player no one heard about who will suddenly senior asap. Who cares looks good on paper though.
