Whether the displeasure of the Petterson offer is because of his star rating or because he is a late offer after whiffing on others, I have made substantial arguments against both of those lines of thinking. Star rating does not 100% equate to talent (Taylor Rapp, Will Dissly, Greg Gaines, etc). Late offers after whiffing on others does not 100% equate to lesser talent (Joe Tryon).
Dennis, poopsie, and anyone else who has next level insight into the stalking of young teen boys... what do y'all think of lubick?
I pay enough attention to know who our top guys are and read articles with their comments about coaches and recruiting. Just enough to keep up with how we're trending. So I could be way off about the guy... but from everything I've seen heard and read, I've been pretty underwhelmed with Matt lubick.
Upon his arrival the concensus seemed to be : solid position coach, bright guy, and a hell of a recruiter. Quook fans were saying he was one of the best recruiters they had under slingblade. Oh... and that he has major recruiting ties in Texas that will pay dividends down the road.
At this point the Texas pipeline bullshit seems to be just that. As far as I'm concerned, jury's still out on his coaching thus far. The WR depth was lacking and there doesn't seem to be many big strides in that group. We signed 3 4star guys last winter in a position group that was widely considered our biggest question mark going into the season. It's pretty disappointing that none were able to flash enough to warrant playing over Jordan fucking Chin.
Sure, fuller improved. And so did bacellia. But other than that? Ty Jones showed flashes but the guy has enough talent that he'd get on the field no matter who was the position coach. And when I really think about it, the fact that Jones will be a Jr next year and produced only meh thus far, it has to be a disappointment. Considering his skill set.
Even more troubling is that Jones fellow 4star classmate Bynum has literally done Jack shit in two full years. Same with Cook who was supposed to be a high 3star guy... and who also is staring up at chincredible on the depth chart. Not positive signs.
Yet with the shitty depth he inherited, as well as a quarterback who shits his pants in the pocket and has made an art form of failing to see wide open receivers.Guess all I'm going on so far is circumstantial evidence; albeit very telling ones.
Now as far as recruiting... I was expecting a lot fucking more. His first class of Osborne spiker and Lowe is solid on paper. But lubick had nothing to do with Osborne's decision and I'm fairly certain spiker was coming here regardless. Not sure about Lowe tbh. But his brother decommitted from UW to Oregon and seems to have guided his little bro to not make the same mistake.
Now so far this class, we have a 3star WR who is ranked in the 100s at his position. And we've struck out on... basically fucking everybody. This decommit from the TCU MBA program seems like an intriguing prospect but the only reason we're chasing him is because it's last call, we're really fucked up, bar closes in 20 minutes, chicks have been turning us down all night, and we really just need pussy.
I also don't recall hearing lubicks name mentioned by any top recruits as being influential at all. So poopsie, is he working magic behind the scenes in TBSing? Just don't like what I'm seeing so far. At all. I'd rather keep Gregory than him at this point. I dunno.
Oh, so nobody has a substantive response to any of the points that I made? You would prefer Jude Wolfe over WIll Dissly? Hunter Echols over Joe Tryon? Yeah, didn't think so. There is no argument against mine because the facts are my side so shut the fuck up. If you're gonna bitch about this offer then don't ever say shit about how much you love lowly, back up plan, 3-star Cade Otton. You don't get to love Taylor Rapp because he was a lighly recruited 3-star. If it was up to you, UW would have taken a 4-star safety over him because "better talent getting developed by this staff is better". You can't have it both ways.

No, it does not 100% equate. No one is arguing either of those things. The argument is that you play the percentages, and the percentages say late offers are less likely to be successful than earlier offers.
Every coach is going to make some occasional late offers (i.e. Jayden Williams). It's one thing to make a late offer because you need one more player, it's another thing to make a late offer because you have gotten exactly zero people to commit.
You're the same person who argued we are too good to give a scholarship to Elijah Qualls 2.0 but now you're jacking off over getting a kid who we can maybe develop into a late draft pick if everything goes right.

Bruh. Everyone here loved Rapp despite his star rating. Same with Gaines. Same with Dom Hampton. Gaskin. Many others. That's not the point. The point is that Paopao hasn't been able to get the the guys we offered first, I.E. the guys we want most. Taylor Rapp was not option #7. Neither was Greg Gaines.
@Baseman That's your problem. You think he's an inferior prospect because he has three-stars next to his name and would think he's superior if he had 4-stars. You have no mind of your own. You're a sheep following star rankings and jumping on a bandwagon. Look at Cade Otton's offer sheet. Drew Sample chose UW over offers from Boise State and Oregon State you fucking idiot. Will Dissly had zero Pac-12 offers until UW offered late. You can easily find NFL talent at TE that isn't rated 4-stars.

He lost Ngata. Who was my favorite offensive recruit this year and my one true love. He should be Khasshogied.

I think this "we can coach anyone talller than 6' into a superstar given enough time" bullshit needs to die. It's not been true for the Seahawks, and it probably won't be true for the Huskies when Lake leaves to be the head coach of the West Dakota Beaver Fuckers or whatever.
Also, Hampton is nowhere near as athletic as Jordan Miller. He's got pretty good length (I might give him 6'1" with decently long arms), but he's pretty skinny and not all that fast. Then again I basically described Sidney Jones so what the fuck do I know.
Not a fan tbh. Kentrell Love's hudl is straight up porn compared to this kid. If we still get Gordon and Irvin it's kind of whatever but I feel like we should aim much higher than this.
Who cares how tall he is when his hudl puts you to sleep? This whole tall corner fad is bullshit anyway. Pete Carroll somehow convinced himself that the only reason he couldn't play in the pros is because he's short, so he drafted a bunch of tall corners, exactly one of which turned out good.
Get good players first. After that you can care about what traits you want.

1. This kid has more upside at his position than Elijah Qualls ever did. It's a false equivalency. Qualls was short for his position with extremely short arms. This kid has all the height and length you could want and is a smooth athlete. He's the prototype of what everybody wants at the TE position and he has top-three round NFL draft potential if he works hard and plays hard.
2. "Playing the percentages" is not an argument that's on your side anymore. Since UW began to substantially elevate their recruiting in the 2017 class, the majority of late offer 3-star guys have already proven they're top tier talent.
2017: Late offer Jaxson Kirkland, late offer Cade Otton, late offer Joe Tron versus late offers Jake Haener and Cole Norgaard who are still question marks. That's a 3:2 ratio in our favor of late offer guys being quality, top-tier talent and those guys aren't even upperclassman yet.
2018: You've got Mosiah Nasili-Liu and MJ Tafisi. No complaints here. Mosiah obviously has NFL talent and MJ is a bigger, harder hitting version of Bierria so he's got NFL potential as well. Sure we would have preferred Solomon Tuliaupupu over Tafisi but you can't get them all, USC is USC, but as long as you're still getting guys with NFL potential you are recruiting at a high level.

Lots of people here hated Hampton at first. Doesn't change the larger point, but there's a reason he's #MyHampton and will always be #MyHampton.
I'm very aware of what I said about Hampton, but that was based on his JUNIOR tape. I liked his senior tape a lot more. It had nothing to do with his star rating though. But yeah, feel free to pat yourself on the back for being right about a guy before there was reason to.

So 2017 late offers has a 60% hit rate at best (it's actually 50% of signees because you didn't include late offer Ali Gaye).
Early offers have a much better hit rate than that.

And if you're "very aware of what you said about him" why would you say "everyone here loved Hampton"?
My process involves the ability to change my opinion based on new evidence rather than being stubborn. And I did like him a lot before he signed with us, and he was still a three star when he did (and we were discussing star ratings), I just didn't like his junior film. Hth.

Whether the displeasure of the Petterson offer is because of his star rating or because he is a late offer after whiffing on others, I have made substantial arguments against both of those lines of thinking. Star rating does not 100% equate to talent (Taylor Rapp, Will Dissly, Greg Gaines, etc). Late offers after whiffing on others does not 100% equate to lesser talent (Joe Tryon).
Bruh. Everyone here loved Rapp despite his star rating. Same with Gaines. Same with Dom Hampton. Gaskin. Many others. That's not the point. The point is that Paopao hasn't been able to get the the guys we offered first, I.E. the guys we want most. Taylor Rapp was not option #7. Neither was Greg Gaines.
Not a fan tbh. Kentrell Love's hudl is straight up porn compared to this kid. If we still get Gordon and Irvin it's kind of whatever but I feel like we should aim much higher than this.
Who cares how tall he is when his hudl puts you to sleep? This whole tall corner fad is bullshit anyway. Pete Carroll somehow convinced himself that the only reason he couldn't play in the pros is because he's short, so he drafted a bunch of tall corners, exactly one of which turned out good.
Get good players first. After that you can care about what traits you want.
I think this "we can coach anyone talller than 6' into a superstar given enough time" bullshit needs to die. It's not been true for the Seahawks, and it probably won't be true for the Huskies when Lake leaves to be the head coach of the West Dakota Beaver Fuckers or whatever.
Also, Hampton is nowhere near as athletic as Jordan Miller. He's got pretty good length (I might give him 6'1" with decently long arms), but he's pretty skinny and not all that fast. Then again I basically described Sidney Jones so what the fuck do I know.
Lots of people here hated Hampton at first. Doesn't change the larger point, but there's a reason he's #MyHampton and will always be #MyHampton.
I'm very aware of what I said about Hampton, but that was based on his JUNIOR tape. I liked his senior tape a lot more. It had nothing to do with his star rating though. But yeah, feel free to pat yourself on the back for being right about a guy before there was reason to.
I was right on him because I don't believe tape is the only thing worth evaluating.
My process > yours.
hth
And if you're "very aware of what you said about him" why would you say "everyone here loved Hampton"?
My process involves the ability to change my opinion based on new evidence rather than being stubborn. And I did like him a lot before he signed with us, and he was still a three star when he did (and we were discussing star ratings), I just didn't like his junior film. Hth.
But we had more than his junior film. We had his measurables and most importantly we had Jimmy Lake's endorsement.
Trust the coaches is bullshit. Not trusting Jimmy Lake is also bullshit. He's an evaluation god.
Oh, so nobody has a substantive response to any of the points that I made? You would prefer Jude Wolfe over WIll Dissly? Hunter Echols over Joe Tryon? Yeah, didn't think so. There is no argument against mine because the facts are my side so shut the fuck up. If you're gonna bitch about this offer then don't ever say shit about how much you love lowly, back up plan, 3-star Cade Otton. You don't get to love Taylor Rapp because he was a lighly recruited 3-star. If it was up to you, UW would have taken a 4-star safety over him because "more talent getting developed by this staff is better". You can't have it both ways.

Joe Tryon and Jaxson Kirkland
Tryon's a guy who blew up his senior year, Kirkland's a guy who we knew we could slow play because he was a legacy. Are you arguing Patterson made a big step his senior season or had ties to the program that meant we could wait to offer him?
@Baseman That's your problem. You think he's an inferior prospect because he has three-stars next to his name and would think he's superior if he had 4-stars. You have no mind of your own. You're a sheep following star rankings and jumping on a bandwagon. Look at Cade Otton's offer sheet. Drew Sample chose UW over offers from Boise State and Oregon State you fucking idiot. Will Dissly had zero Pac-12 offers until UW offered late. You can easily find NFL talent at TE that isn't rated 4-stars.
They never offered Rae. 2 ACL tears in high school. Martinez was offered after he already committed to UCLA and they didn't heavily pursue him and they like Patterson more so I'm not going to count him. Foskey was a Buck recruit. Patterson is UW's 3rd choice at TE behind Wolfe and Archer.

Joe Tryon and Jaxson Kirkland
Everyone loved Joe Tryon, too. Everyone like Kirkland just fine. The prevailing opinion was that we lucked into a good OL class despite fucking up recruiting our priority targets. I don't see how that helps your argument.
Comments
I pay enough attention to know who our top guys are and read articles with their comments about coaches and recruiting. Just enough to keep up with how we're trending. So I could be way off about the guy... but from everything I've seen heard and read, I've been pretty underwhelmed with Matt lubick.
Upon his arrival the concensus seemed to be : solid position coach, bright guy, and a hell of a recruiter. Quook fans were saying he was one of the best recruiters they had under slingblade. Oh... and that he has major recruiting ties in Texas that will pay dividends down the road.
At this point the Texas pipeline bullshit seems to be just that. As far as I'm concerned, jury's still out on his coaching thus far. The WR depth was lacking and there doesn't seem to be many big strides in that group. We signed 3 4star guys last winter in a position group that was widely considered our biggest question mark going into the season. It's pretty disappointing that none were able to flash enough to warrant playing over Jordan fucking Chin.
Sure, fuller improved. And so did bacellia. But other than that? Ty Jones showed flashes but the guy has enough talent that he'd get on the field no matter who was the position coach. And when I really think about it, the fact that Jones will be a Jr next year and produced only meh thus far, it has to be a disappointment. Considering his skill set.
Even more troubling is that Jones fellow 4star classmate Bynum has literally done Jack shit in two full years. Same with Cook who was supposed to be a high 3star guy... and who also is staring up at chincredible on the depth chart. Not positive signs.
Yet with the shitty depth he inherited, as well as a quarterback who shits his pants in the pocket and has made an art form of failing to see wide open receivers.Guess all I'm going on so far is circumstantial evidence; albeit very telling ones.
Now as far as recruiting... I was expecting a lot fucking more. His first class of Osborne spiker and Lowe is solid on paper. But lubick had nothing to do with Osborne's decision and I'm fairly certain spiker was coming here regardless. Not sure about Lowe tbh. But his brother decommitted from UW to Oregon and seems to have guided his little bro to not make the same mistake.
Now so far this class, we have a 3star WR who is ranked in the 100s at his position. And we've struck out on... basically fucking everybody. This decommit from the TCU MBA program seems like an intriguing prospect but the only reason we're chasing him is because it's last call, we're really fucked up, bar closes in 20 minutes, chicks have been turning us down all night, and we really just need pussy.
I also don't recall hearing lubicks name mentioned by any top recruits as being influential at all. So poopsie, is he working magic behind the scenes in TBSing? Just don't like what I'm seeing so far. At all. I'd rather keep Gregory than him at this point. I dunno.
Every coach is going to make some occasional late offers (i.e. Jayden Williams). It's one thing to make a late offer because you need one more player, it's another thing to make a late offer because you have gotten exactly zero people to commit.
You're the same person who argued we are too good to give a scholarship to Elijah Qualls 2.0 but now you're jacking off over getting a kid who we can maybe develop into a late draft pick if everything goes right.
OTOH, your first post on Dom Hampton:
Also, Hampton is nowhere near as athletic as Jordan Miller. He's got pretty good length (I might give him 6'1" with decently long arms), but he's pretty skinny and not all that fast. Then again I basically described Sidney Jones so what the fuck do I know.
You also said this:

Also, this:

2. "Playing the percentages" is not an argument that's on your side anymore. Since UW began to substantially elevate their recruiting in the 2017 class, the majority of late offer 3-star guys have already proven they're top tier talent.
2017: Late offer Jaxson Kirkland, late offer Cade Otton, late offer Joe Tron versus late offers Jake Haener and Cole Norgaard who are still question marks. That's a 3:2 ratio in our favor of late offer guys being quality, top-tier talent and those guys aren't even upperclassman yet.
2018: You've got Mosiah Nasili-Liu and MJ Tafisi. No complaints here. Mosiah obviously has NFL talent and MJ is a bigger, harder hitting version of Bierria so he's got NFL potential as well. Sure we would have preferred Solomon Tuliaupupu over Tafisi but you can't get them all, USC is USC, but as long as you're still getting guys with NFL potential you are recruiting at a high level.
Early offers have a much better hit rate than that.
The percentages are still in my favor.
