    If Petersen makes coaching decisions based on which KJR tools have sired athletic offspring, then fire him tomorrow.

    Really? I have no problem with the concept of that factors other than purely athletic talent can matter in recruiting decisions. I doubt anybody really does. We always hear things such as if the talent is equal, take the local kid. It will lead to benefits down the road. Stuff like that. Will take a guy who has a more talented teammate to help sway that teammate, for example. Really?

    This is just another factor to be thrown into the mix.
    Only to the extent that the HHB podcast once pointed out. You recruit the superstar Race Bannon and then to seal the deal you recruit his best friend @iDawg whose only value is to wave a towel to excite the crowd.

    Hugh is a useless radio host who can’t even speak in complete sentences. And he’ll still doog it up as usual with Cale at Oregon. And if he doesn’t nobody will give a shit.

    Uhh uhhh uhhh uhh... I meann.... uhhh uhhhh uhhhhh

    I cannot wait till we have this conversation about Jake Browning’s son.

    Do you like Dylan Morris better? Who cares? Question is if you like him better enough.

    Is the gap big enough to turn away a legacy whose father has one of the biggest platforms in Seattle to promote Husky football? I don’t think so. Frankly it looks like a wash to me and Morris doesn’t look like starter material. So now we have Millen hedging ON AIR instead of promoting. Not worth it.

    Oregon passed over their assistant coach's son to take Cale.

    You take the kid you like the best, period. You can't worry about whose kid he is.

    Axe @ApostleofGrief about nepotism.

    You could do the Spider-Man look alike meme for both of these guys who got all the press for not losing games that the defense was winning.


    Hugh is hated by everyone on that 84 team. My pops hates Jake with every part of his soul but still says that 84 team beats everyone by 20 if he plays instead of Hugh. How good must the defense have been for you to win basically a natty with your QB throwing 2 interceptions for every TD he threw. Imagine the doog shit that must have been said back then “Hugh would have way less INT’a if 1984 Aaron Fuller would just run through his route & fight back for the ball”

    Kale Mellons is a duck because the Dwags didn't want him. Nuff said on that.

    Sark offers 3-star QB Marcus Mariota. Mariota wants to go to UW but then Oregon offers and his mom pushes him to Oregon which at that time, wasn't a difficult decision to make.

    Petersen comes close to offering 3-star QB Justin Herbert but doesn't because of a broken leg in high school. Herbert's fathers says that if Herbert had gotten the UW offer, he would have been a Dawg.

    Petersen offers a midget QB super early before a 3-star legacy QB has a chance to grow and develop. Said legacy QB grows to be 6'4, has a better Senior season than the midget, and goes on to sign with Oregon. I don't like this trend. Can we stop allowing 3-star hidden gem quarter backs to go to fucking Oregon and come back to bite us in the ass?

    It’ll be fine.
    I know we'll be fine but Oregon is an average or mediocre college QB away from tanking as a program. If Cale Millen develops into another NFL stud QB for them after Herbert leaves I'm going to be pissed. Sure they're mediocre even with a talent like Herbert, but I prefer them to be absolute dog shit.

    Millen was a late bloomer and that's what it came down to. I don't fault the staff on this.

    I doubt that’s the only reason, if he was worth it they still would have offered late, they did it with Yankoff. You can like Cale Millen and still think Morris is a better fit for your offensive scheme.
    Yankoff was offered also because our depth chart really sucked at qb at the time. Bringing in 4 freshmen qbs back to back years is a lot especially when having multiple kickers on scholarship at the same time adds up.
    This is also true, and why it’s so stupid to argue about this. No single offer/decision is made in its own bubble, every single decision is related and connected.

    Just don’t let Hugh Millen’s spin convince you the only reason Cale didn’t get offered was because he didn’t start until Junior year/he’s a late bloomer. You’re letting the agent dictate the narrative on why that team didn’t hire his client.

    Hugh’s been successful at getting Doogman to buy this, and already he’s gotten other KJR staff to turn this idea into segments on their show. Don’t let it seep into here, we’re supposed to have a capacity for a little more critical thinking than that.
    Been to the Tug lately?

    Oregon doesn't recruit quarterbacks to groom them so they can eventually play. They recruit transfers. Millen will never see the field. HTH

    Huh? Because they brought in one guy who frankly should have been recruited by a P5 program who was pretty fucking good, and another who sucked, all to gap lazy recruiting, that's "what they do"?

    Is that what they did with the current starter?

    This is a stupid comment. They are on coach 3 in year 3. Nobody here knows what Oregon does or does not do, because Oregon does not even know what Oregon does.

    Every coach is a new program. Period. That's the way this game works. It's fun and nostalgic to think our favorite, and least favorite, programs have DNA, culture and all that shit. They are as good or as bad as the current crew coaching them.

    No idea if the kid will see the field, but it won't be because they prefer transfers. It'll be because there's somebody better.

    I agree with the others. Yeah, 'other' factors matter, but not the Hugh Millen factor. That's going too far. I don't think KJR and that cast of clowns are any more persuasive or tone setting than the men of doogman or Ruth.

    Dummies will dummy.

    It’s way too early, but I think Yankoff and Sirmon will be busts. I was a big Yankoff guy, but realy reports are his arm sucks. Sirmon doesn’t have it between the ears.
