GOOD branding
Thanks for listening UW recruiters -
How about be proactive instead of reactionary? This is good shit to put out there but it takes more than just marketing NFL development now that national schools are raiding the West coast. Sure, we put more players in the league than every other Pac-12 school. How much of that matters when our main competition for out top targets are schools like Oklahoma and Ohio State? Those schools put a shit load of players in the league too while also having better brands, more excitement and hype, and more year round recruiting momentum. Everything matters I guess. NFL development can't be your only selling point while you ignore all the other shit kids are looking for. More competition means you have to step your game up and adapt or get left behind.

Most of the players in that video were Sark recruits. How many of Pete’s signees would lead—or even partake in—such a display in the current locker room?Domicillo said:

I prefer preemptive strikes.

Most were Petersen recruits: Brayden Lenius, Chico Bean, Jojo Mcintosh, Zeke Turner, Benning Potato, Ricky McCoy, Isaiah Renfro, Sidney Jones, Darren Gardenhire, Dante Pettis.Baseman said:

"Recruiting showmanship" (Paopao's words) and player development are not fucking mutually exclusive!! Fuck. Both can exist in the same program at the same time. This relentless blue collar shit is tiresome. If you can't reach kids, relate to them, get them excited... it doesn't matter what NFL stats you put into your neat little OKG powerpoint presentation. It's about sales. This is just Pete doubling down on the same old shit. What is he doing about the Sa'vell situation? What the fuck is he doing about the very real perception out there (fair or not) that his OKG program doesn't fit with a lot black recruits?
If Pete really believes in the culture he's created... if he's so certain of the coaches he's handpicked and the players he's meticulously scouted.... then why the fuck could he not take a couple of fliers per year on kids that are incredibly talented but maybe don't check every one of the OKG boxes?? If his culture and buy-in is as strong as he claims it is, then these kids will buy into it. Avoiding any risk, even calculated risk, to me shows that he's not 100% confident in his own culture - if he was, there wouldn't be anything to worry about.
FOUR coaches on this staff, including our? recruiting coordinator, are significantly below average recruiters.... Bonerpha, Paopao, Gregory, and Kwatkawski. We're getting fucking destroyed in recruiting this year... it's time to adjust the tactics and the message a little.
Fuck-can Bonerpha, Paopao, and Gregory and bring some dudes in here who can coach AND recruit... and just for five fucking minutes stop talking about how hard it is, how much you have to grind, how you'll work harder than you've ever worked etc, etc, e-fucking-t-fucking-c. It's recruiting... chill the fuck out and have a little fun with it.
