    Good get, but pales in comparison to the huskies getting a verbal commitment from:

    Literally nobody

    Oregon beat out North Carolina for him. Cristobal doing his thing finding those overrated 4-stars. What an idiot. Why star chase? Why not just take the kids you think are the best available to you regardless of their star ranking? Maybe because he sucks at evaluating talent? Maybe because his blowhard ego forces him to sniff out overrated 4-stars to make his class rankings look better? Maybe to drive recruiting hype? Maybe for his job security? Probably all of the above.

    That's a lot of maybes and probablys for an expert opinion.

    But your logic leaves something on the bathroom floor.

    Are stars and "who you think are the best available" mutually exclusive concepts down in Tac Town?

    How do you know he doesn't think he's the best available?

    On what basis do you conclude he doesn't have talent eval chops?

    Because he specifically targets "4-star" recruits that he only has to beat out teams like North Carolina to get. His recruiting decisions are heavily based on star ratings and finding overrated "4-star" guys that aren't highly coveted by big brand schools that Oregon can realistically get. Sure he's gotten a couple of legit 4-star recruits but more often than not, they're left over recruits the big schools didn't want. When a coach is that worried about star ratings, he's not doing objective talent evaluations. He's star chasing.

    There are guys rated "3-stars" right now that are better than Greenfield like Makell Esteen that UW will take because they do their own talent evaluations. Cristobal chases internet star ratings as much as he can. That is abundantly obvious. It is extremely unlikely that he just so happens to seek out overrated 4-star kids all across the country and doesn't have their star rating in mind while he's doing it. He's an idiot. His ego will not allow him to take a better player that's an underrated "3-star" kid if an overrated "4-star" kid is available to him.

    Well, he’s a 3 star composite. So, there’s that. He also recruited him before he was evaluated before 247.

    This is what you do, SAC. You accept the weakest, worst case scenario narrative and apply it to all circumstances.

    1) Trey Benson 3* composite is the top of the rb board.

    2) JHOP just predicted an 84 composite WR last name Brown over other higher rates WRs that want to come to Oregon.

    3) Latu was a take very early on

    The staff likes Jared Greenfield. It was before he ever got a 90 rating from 247.

    You are so full of BS.

    Just looked at Jared’s twitter.

    Offered 01/2018. Made a 4* in 3/2018.

    Oregon was his 2nd offer.

    I'm sure hime getting a ratings bump made his offer committable.
