    He is either going to be really good at ASU or he will be a guy that balled out in high school and didn't cut it in college

    Either way, it will be interesting

    These type of kids always end up at ASU. Herm has made it work so far.

    I am still fucking pissed we did not take Merlin
    We were never going to offer Merlin. He had major red flags coming out of high school which is why ASU was the only school to take him. I know he had a great season last year as a true freshmen but since then he has been suspended twice and has looked out of shape and slow this year. He would have never worked out with our culture.
    What’s the point of having a strong culture if we can’t wield it to get buy in from talented kids from tough backgrounds or questionable makeup?

    Any fucking coach can succeed with 85 BBKs or Nick Harrises.

    A great college coach can get an Aaron Hernandez or Vontaze Burfict pulling in the right direction for the team. And that would make all the difference.

    How badly do we want to get to the next level? Are we comfortable with winning the conference most years and losing NY6 bowls? Or do we want to beat Bama?
    That's never going to be Washington's culture. If that's what you want go follow a SEC team because Washington will never be a win at all cost type of program and Pete is on record saying that.

    You missed my point. I am simply advocating for relaxing some criteria in recruiting not any kind of cheating or pushing of boundaries.

    That’s pretty simplistic, but okay.

    That’s rich coming from you.

    They already do that, that is why they took Jacobe.

    honestly, i think some of these kids like merlin could benefit from the culture that pete has developed. some of these kiids come really bad backgrounds. just to rule them out because some might has some trouble is dismissive. not saying we should load up on those kids. but selectively give 1 or 2 a chance.
    They can also ruin your culture. Right now this roster is filled with hard working players with no diva tendency. You know how many coaches would kill for this type of roster?
    This didn't age well. Hard working players with no diva tendency beat the worst Stanford team in over a decade handily.
    And they came back the next week and practiced hard. No bitching, moaning, fingerpointing or looking to the NFL. Great group of kids.
    Wow Hardcore Husky needs this culture. Who do we kick out first?

    I'd rather have divas who are capable of beating Cal and Stanford.

    I know, I'm reaching for the stars.
