Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Might as well not even play the games

This is what we are recruiting against and where we have to get. Oregon gets it do we?

On October 19, 2013, Clemson welcomed ACC rival Florida State into Death Valley for a highly anticipated nationally televised top-five matchup.
The Tigers, with Tajh Boyd at quarterback, the dynamic Sammy Watkins at wide receiver, and Vic Beasley, Grady Jarrett and Bashaud Breeland starring on defense, were primed to make a run at a possible national title.
But Clemson coughed up the pigskin on the first play from scrimmage, and it went downhill from there with eventual Heisman-winner Jameis Winston throwing for 444 yards and three touchdowns in a 51-14 rout.
Ever since, the term “Clemsoning”—applied to the previously snakebitten Tigers—has been dead, while they build toward a historic run by restocking talent once stars depart for the NFL.
Win a big game Pete then pop off. OK so we are here. We expect to win and don't and are gaining a reputation for Huskying in big games
The answer could be as simple as dogged recruiting, and infusion of cash that allowed massive upgrades to facilities, which also parlayed into coach Dabo Swinney becoming one of the sport’s highest-paid coaches when he received a 10–year, $92 million deal this spring.
Since 2015, Clemson has not finished below 10th in ESPN’s recruiting class rankings and is leading the way for a top ranking in the 2020 class, with a half-dozen, five-star commitments already in the fold.
I know we used to obsess over facilities but as far as I know UW is up to par? I mean its not the Hookers and Blow Center at Eugene but it is the Greatest Setting or so I have been told
I'm going with dogged recruiting even though everyone knows I don't follow recruiting.
Its not something an assistant does in his spare time because he can really coach those three stars up its a way of life.
Top Ten every year. Get it done

That’s also how Washington learned about Beno Bryant, a running back who was one of Los Angeles’ fastest sprinters. Bryant rushed for eight touchdowns and nearly 1,000 yards for James and the Huskies in 1991.
“We got both Orlando McKay and Beno Bryant because we got that kind of information from our alums in those areas,” Baird said. “And then I would go to LA, I would go to the Bay Area, I would go to the Portland area, and I would go to the Phoenix area and we would hold Husky Hunter meetings. I would go through all the rules, plus the guys in that area that we were interested in. ‘Can you send me any information on this, and if you go to the game wear a Husky hat so I can tell the kid I’ve got a scout at the game?’”
The Hunters officially formed in the early ‘70s; a 1977 newspaper story said the group was 400 strong by then. The story also said something else that was interesting: Don James and his three assistant coaches wanted to not only win the Rose Bowl that year but recruit the LA area while in town.
That’s right: Three. Assistant. Coaches.
Do we have three assistants recruiting So Cal?
James closed Bryant by the way at his house. Legend has it that it was next to the Todd Bridges shooting house
