OC hire had nothing to do with it. The past two years of dreadful offense is what killed us. Add in that Ohio State is coming off a CFP appearance and are putting a bunch WR's in the pro's and it's a uphill battle to say the least. The info that I received today makes me believe it will be hard for UW to overcome the gap and frankly I wouldn't get your hopes up when it comes to Emeka coming here.AtomicDawg said:
It’s almost like he researched our offense and oc hire and watched Clemson and Ohio state. Don’t blame him one bit.sonics1993 said:
Scratch that, in Vegas for the Wilder and got to talk to some guys for the 7 on 7 tournament. Let’s just say UW doesn’t have as much time as I thought in making up ground. Ohio State and Clemson is his top two with us a distant third. UW is in trouble when he comes to Emaka.sonics1993 said:Long way to go with Emaka, wouldn’t worry about his recruitment until fall.
be a pretty underwhelming year at the position. Not sure if the Tinae offer is coincidental or not, but yeah not getting good vibes. -
Losing Emeka, a local Husky legacy, before the season starts, because of last year's offense, when we have a new head coach, a new OC, a new system, and Jesus Christ Superstar QB committed to UW in the same class as him, would be fucking devastating.
LIPO, Emeka! -
Someone should make custom t-shirts with emeka's visage on it and the caption "you made it an easy choice ..." And send it to bushyballs and Peterman (and junior if he deserves it)
Goddammit -
Not sure why people are surprised about Emeka ... there been little evidence that he’s been high on us at all
The fact that he’s been consistent on not wanting to take an official here has been your sign -

I personally blame G Scott Sr. For this w/respect

Ohio State is going to fall this year. Clemson probably won't
There is a lot of time for Jimmy to prove this is the place -
Did Justin Fields die? Don’t see them falling off on offense with how good he isRaceBannon said:Ohio State is going to fall this year. Clemson probably won't

Yeah, they lose their RB, some WR’s and some OL, but they still have their best WR and a bunch of four and five star guys either coming in or already there and just waiting. They will be the same Ohio State they always are. A contender that loses two games max.NEsnake12 said:

“Schools that are doing a really good job recruiting me, (Washington), Ohio State, Clemson, Oregon, LSU, Stanford, Oklahoma, schools like that.”
The Huskies, Buckeyes and ACC Tigers are perceived to be in the best position for the No. 7 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite. Egbuka talked about all three.
On Washington: I think Coach (Jimmy) Lake is going to do a ton of good things for the program. He’s going to make the offense more aggressive. I love Coach Pete too. Having him step down it was surprising but I think they’re in great hands with Coach Lake taking over.”
On Ohio State: “They develop receivers every year and they just know how to play football. They develop their guys as players and young men and I have a great relationship with the coaching staff.” Egbuka also talked about coming in after OSU signed four talented receivers in 2020. “They think I have more versatility than some of those guys and they can move me around the field more and play sort of a Parris Campbell role. That is definitely intriguing. Coming behind great receivers there is nothing wrong with that and learning and competing against some of the greatest DBs as well as being more polished for the sophomore and junior years.”
On Clemson: “New receivers coach, getting to know Coach (Tyler) Grisham a little bit and probably try and get down there this spring and see what he has to say in person and meet him and go over depth charts and his style of coaching.”
Egbuka is aiming to get to Oklahoma this spring as well.
“Because that’s one of the only places I haven’t been,” he said. “I just have a really good relationship with the coaching staff. Coach (Lincoln) Riley and Coach (Dennis) Simmons and they’ve been up to Washington countless times to see me so I think it’s fair to go over there and see what they have to offer.”
Egbuka said the places he’s been the most are Washington, USC and UCLA with Ohio State the most after that. He also added that he talks to Ed Orgeron at LSU “regularly.”
A decision could come at any point.
“I don’t have a specific date in mind or even a timeline,” Egbuka explained. “Just whenever it feels right I’m going to make the decision because there is no reason to waste time.”
Egbuka knows what he’s looking for in a school.
“Probably opportunity to play, a home environment where I know I can fit in and even if I’m away from home it feels like that and a place that is going to develop me as a person and a player.” -
Alpha Dog
The Top247’s No. 1 ranked receiver Emeka Egbuka put on a show for his Heir Black team scoring nine touchdowns in three pool play games leading them to one of the more prolific offensive outbursts any of the roughy 120 teams had on Saturday. Egbuka’s highlight reel included a catch over the middle before quickly pivoting to reverse field shaking a few defenders en route to the end zone. From quick strike scores to chunk plays on short receptions, Egbuka was the day’s most exciting player with the ball in his hands.

Ohio State hasn't lost two games since 2013
They will lose at least that
Including to Oregon
They are on the way down with Day -
We’ll see. The infrastructure is so strong there that it’s hard to fuck up. It’s amazing he had a rep as an offensive guru. He had coached some truly awful offenses before coming to Ohio State. He was lucky to have the Chip relationship and capitalize on it at the right time. He was also lucky Urban was feeling heat from Zach Smith and waltzed into the Ohio State job instead of having to go to a lower tier school.RaceBannon said:Ryan Day sucks

Coaching really matters a lot, but it’s obviously a lot easier with a team full of elite prospects. He’s probably still a few years away from it showing if he does indeed suck. -
Someone in that conference needs to. The media hype is Mack Brown and UNC but they won’t get better than 9-3 ish at best.haie said:Climp is definitely not falling off until FSU gets their shit together in a few years.
The game had already passed him by at the end of his tenure at Texas. I’m not sure he was ever that great to begin with. A decent figurehead that relies entirely on his coordinators and talent. He had a loaded team every year and really only won or came close to winning the natty twice. -

There has been a major shift in college offense and UW has completely failed to keep up with it. CP was the best and worst thing to happen to UW.

I get that the Pac 12 flak is money based, but holy shit is the ACC a pseudo power 5 at this point.RoadDawg55 said:

Miami doesn't care, and probably never will.
FSU's coach while overrated left because they wouldn't sell their soul for college football anymore.
I only brought them up because I love their new head coach. He's not a loser.
Boston College, Georgia tech, UNC came to play school.
Fucking Duke got some pub in that conference for a cuog like season.
Pitt? Jesus.
I was gonna make a point about Dabo leaving in a few years but who in their right mind would leave that situation? You coach 2-3 games a year. -
Not sure that’s it. Keeping up with the Jones’ doesn’t get you anywhere most of the time because you still aren’t as good at it as the ones that have been doing it for years.Kingdome_Urinals said:There has been a major shift in college offense and UW has completely failed to keep up with it.

CP changed his offenses a lot since his time at Boise. He just didn’t have a feel for anything or ever establish anything that consistently worked and was reliable. -
Big 12 is also pretty bad. Same with the Big 10 most years. PAC 12 is obviously in the same conversation.haie said:

SEC is obviously best and that’s proven by the amount of highly ranked recruits and amount of player’s picked in the NFL, the number if championships.
Dabo probably isn’t leaving. Maybe Alabama when Saban leaves or if he gets a good NFL job. -
In this case keeping up with the Joneses simply means putting some points on the board. The roster development and scheme at UW has been a disaster on offense, at a time when innovative coaching and schemes are squeezing 30+ points a game out of offenses around the country.RoadDawg55 said:

Failed to get a QB to challenge Browning, failed to get young talent on the field, failed to teach something that good players could learn. -
Can’t argue that. Points are obviously what matters.Kingdome_Urinals said:

I do disagree on Browning. No highly rated QB is coming after Browning’s freshman or sophomore year. No highly ranked QB will come until at least Huard’s second year at well, probably his third. I wish we would have gotten a good one but I also realize that is tough to do when a guy plays that well his first two years.
Sure it would have been nice to have a guy to challenge him, but he regressed. Bad coaching for sure, but not much you can do at that point.
We brought in two four star QB’s before his senior year. One sucked and Sirmon will probably suck too. I doubt he ever starts a game. -
If you want to make the points scored argument ... then you have to also recognize what hurts us recruiting offensively should help us defensively
I also think the points scored argument is largely bullshit -
I am riding with the "Day is Helfrich" bandwagon.RaceBannon said:Ohio State hasn't lost two games since 2013

Unless we start planning on running 100 plays a game (don’t think we are) then we’re never going to score the points that more up tempo teams will.
That was my point -
That’s fine. Offensive efficiency is needed then. In any case, you can be good at both and we need to score more points, so yeah, points are important.Tequilla said:
