Awesome get and winning vs Oregon head to head makes it that much better
Can you fuckers on the recruiting bored finally learn from the PGOS mantra of LIFPO? This class still has the potential to be our best class ever, topping last years.
You would think the sky was falling based on this place a month ago.
Im right as always.
Getting dangerously close to Pumpy PGOS. Worried about you!
Am I wrong though?
About having a better class than the last two seasons? Probably. But you're right that the early overreactions were probably overreactions. I guess Smalls and Ringo and Robinson and Flowe and Wilson are still technically out there and haven't signed on the dotted line anywhere else yet, but it would take some MAJOR momentum change with at least a couple from that list to push this class over the line to "best class ever." At least on paper (composite rating).
The earlier consternation stemmed from hopes being so high in the first place. There are five 5-star players out west this cycle that UW had every advantage with prior to spring. One lives next door, one is from here and trains at FSP, another 7v7s and trains at FSP and seemed to love UW, another had really good things to say about UW and had two former teammates just sign on, and another was all over UW early. Combine UW's excellent ~25% overall closing rate with all of these massive advantages with players at the very pointy end of things, and people here were naturally dooging. Now, it seems a long shot that UW closes even one.
If you want to argue that those ratings are bullshit and UW's probably going to get yet another class that--in the end--crushes the conference in the NFL draft in four years, I'm right there with you. But a lot of people here really care about those recruiting ratings and the program perception that they imply, so it is what it is and math is math. Gonna take 5-stars to average the higher number of 3-stars projected in the class. 5-stars are all but gone. The natives are restless.
Good stuff. Wasnt Hatchett originally a 5 star?
Only on bowdowntowashington.com. Cool fucking site!
I'm actually nervous about the lack of a Ballz response so far. The incoming victory lap he's about to run is going to be glorious. No one is safe from the semen splatter.

“UW finally has something to cheer about. They sold Rosengarten on the fact hed have to compete and wasnt as good as our back ups lol. i dont want kids who want to be handed the starting spot. Best of luck to Rosengarten as he tries to block Kayvon for 2 years...if he ever starts for the leg lifters that is”
“Win some, lose some. We won a lot more head to head battles last year than lost. Have fun at UW, I think Oregon will be just fine at OL“

Given that our DL recruiting looks fucked right now is there any chance this guy moves to defense if we reel in Hatchett and some other guy high on our OL board?

You want to move an elite OT to a position where UW has gotten elite players as well as solid depth guys the last two years?
Edit: keep in mind he’s a top 100 player in the country at tackle. A top 10 player at his position. But you want to move him off....

Last two DL classes were ridiculously stacked. I've actually worried about the numbers there down the road from the opposite direction of how we used to worry about them. One of the most talented D-line class ever assembled at UW (2018) just redshirted across the board last season. They'll all technically be freshmen this season. The 2019 D-line class probably was the most talented D-line class ever assembled at UW, and I wouldn't be surprised if all or most of that class redshirts as well.
The need for incoming defensive linemen wasn't that high in this class.
who convinced these fucking quooks that their oline room is stacked?? I see Throckmorton and Penis who are pretty good and then a bunch of slow, fat sloppy shit
Rosengarten's offer list is exactly what you want an offer list to look like:
USC, Penn State, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Michigan, Miami, Nebraska...I guess you could nitpick and say it's a little light on SEC offers but these are exactly the schools we should be competing with (and beating) for recruits.
Finally got around to watching the Hudl. Had no idea Valor Christian beat Menlo Atherton 27-0 last year in an exhibition game. First clip from that game is Rosengarten pancaking a dude while Danny Hammers cleans house for the tackle!

Is there a particular reason why Huff has already offered 40+ kids in this class? Should we be worried?
Seeing as how UW has offered 51 total, I’d say you’re being facetious.
Huff has offered 10. Ideally you take 4 per year.
His last two classes he has a close rate of 26% and 33%.
So expect another 5 offers to go out to OL before this is done.
And just for reference the last two years the entire class has just under a 25% close rate regardless of position, so Huff closes at a better clip than other position coaches.
Huff fucks. Don’t worry about him.
Bump.
Huff has not offered any more OL. Still sitting at 10, but Henderson should get one at some point. Now have 2 commits with a 3rd (Hatchett) coming before the end of the month.
The last 6-8 months can be focused on Murao, Persi, and Henderson, plus whoever else pops up if you don’t land 1 of those 3.
That would be anywhere from a 40%-33% close rate for the Huffster.

“No big deal. Hope he gets used to losing to us”

Turning into our? 3rd elite recruiter.
Also bump this because for the next 5 years I get to call this kid by a dozen names.
EAT OUR FUCKING ASS DUCKS.
