"OKG" is racist according to Oregon

Ohio State and FSU. OKG is also elitist.

Smalls and Ringo are anti-OKG.

    I predict this will be the outrage subject on this site for the next 4-6 months. Then Smalls will commit to UW and we'll forget about it and move on to the next thing to hate about the program

    Page views will never be higher and the greatest Washington prospect of all time will be a dawg! Huard and Smalls will run Montlake soon enough.

    Seems weird that that would work all of a sudden when he already withstood years of hearing the same thing from Joey T.

    Heard they hit him and his parents with a LOT of evidence.

    The evidentiary value of information depends on your default assumption.

    If the assumption is that (as white people always happily see as the case) no one is biased, then you have to prove bias beyond a reasonable doubt.

    However, any black person knows there is bias everywhere and now Pete is going to have some splaining to do. Which is good. It's weird what's happening to our program.

    We are getting very non-black.

    We are getting EXTREMELY non Black American Culture.

    We have like 1 starter out of 22 who is from a 'traditional' black home? Salvon. Everyone else has one white parent, is African, etc.

    White people think that this all adds up to nothing and are FRANKLY SHOCKED that you would DARE to question their OBVIOUSLY PURE motives and processes.

    Black people are like 'uh, yeah, can you explain why that is?'

    They're just butthurt that all if their momentum is bullshit and their coaches are going to get flattened on the road again.

    I am a Duck fan and this is part and parcel of the “everything is racist” cultural milieu.

    That's because you're white and see things through the white people lens.

    Oh, we just happened to not recruit Tre'Shaun (Sav'ell's friend) and we are just happening to not recruit Gee Scott and DJ Rodgers (insert white people 'case by case basis' excuse here). And now Justin Flowe, Kayvon and Darnell Washington are all guys that haven't really been on our radar.

    And, under Pete we have gotten one white parent or African parents on almost everyone... white people are like 'this is nitpicky' because they don't understand how stupid that sounds to people who live in black culture (which is not a monolith). This is like a little kid thinking that them saying they didn't eat a cookie when chocolate chips are all over their face is convincing.

    White people are like 'HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE ME OF RACISM' and black people are like 'uh, look around'.

    I don't think Pete is a racist, but I think Pete defines OKG in such a way that it so heavily slants toward slow strategy 'at least one white or African' parent, private school light skin u kids.

    If you don't understand the difference between Kevin King's household and Aaron Fuller's or Ariel Ngata's then you just aren't really familiar with modern black life in America on any level.

    Bias is different than racism and it’s important enough to distinguish between the two.

    There's something to be said for actions are greater than words ...

    As Dennis mentioned, I don't think that there's anything overtly racist in our program. I do think that there's some component of OKG that tilts more slower strategy than not.

    However, there's some things that have been bubbling below the surface for a while on this subject that I do think that there's some part of the message that we have to be aware of and actively go about proving that it's not the case.

    It's awfully warm for December of February ... the fact that you have schools that are actively going to this level of strategy in their recruiting at this point tells me that they know that they are coming at this from a very unfavorable position and are trying to knock UW down.

    In the end, successful selling of anything is way more likely when you are talking about why you should buy your product than why you shouldn't buy another product.

    I don't think Pete is a racist. But it's like saying 'i don't think Pete actually wants his dog to bit people' - if the dog bites people and Pete explains it away every time as a product of unique circumstances, you have to be like 'does Pete REALLY want the dog not to bite people if he's not doing anything to prevent it?'

    so, are you guys saying that Smalls avoided coming to UW this weekend because he's now drifting (drifted?) away from being interested in UW?

    I see that Emeka was tweeting from Oregon this weekend as well.



    How bad is this situation fellas?
