Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

We're not there yet -- we need these recruits.

    The reality is that UW is at a point where we can pretty much expect Top 10-15 classes

    I think the big question is can we ramp up to the Top 5 range starting with the 2021 class

    I don’t think we can. If we could, shouldn’t it happen this year? USC a mess, UCLA 3 wins, Flowe friends with Davises, Ringo from here at our best-developed position, Bijan at a HS we have tradition with and no strong incumbent, Botelho “in the bag” with our strong Poly movement, etc.

    All misses.
    Next year we have three in state five stars versus one this year. One of them is already committed, one is rumored to be a silent commit, and the other is Egbuka who I’m way more confident in at this point than I was Smalls at the same point.

    Then you have Troy Franklin, Kingsley, Keith Brown and Molokai for our in state elite talents who we are the current front runners for (we won’t get them all but won’t whiff on them all either)

    Then you add Latu, Prentice, Simon, whichever other in state wr we decide we want with Egbuka (Lonyatta, maybe), and Ethan Calvert and you’re at or over ten blue chip commits without Lake taking anybody, and Huff and Milloe at only one commit each. And we haven’t even mentioned Korey Foreman who is throwing up dubs with Myles Murao.

    Tl; dr: We should get two five stars at the very least, anything below three would be a huge disappointment and five wouldn’t be a shock. And we have the inside track in a number of high four stars.

    We are getting a top 5 class next year, even is SC hires Urbs.

    GATSSYN.
    Keith Brown isn't in-state, but I still agree with all of this. The dominoes are really stacked for '21.

    SC is in "Bruins in Ruins" or "James quits on his team" phase. The molestation case and the admissions criminal scandal have their Board of Trustees staring down the barrel of 250mm+ in legal settlements. The water polo coach is going to prison. The basketball program is caught up in the FBI scandal, and it's awaiting penalties from the NCAA. All under St Hayden's (Bless his Heart) and Mike Garrett's watch. The probability of SC hiring Urban Meyer, a coach who sheltered Aaron Hernandez and a spouse beating (allegedly) coach on his staff, is low.

    You fucking guys ... I've already bought xxl sweatpants to handle my raging purple boner.

    This is getting too much.

    But yeah, next year is set up to be amazing. Then we get Nate Robinson's kid! ...

    And then Danny Shelton's kid 18 years from now as our middle linebacker...

    Prayingdoog.jpg that SC' hires their Ty to "restore morality to the program".
    Yeah, I tend to agree that USC will be very nervous to make the right hire for their next head coach in that they'll need to ameliorate a very public football program while ensuring that the university itself is guaranteed a coach with no skeletons in the closet.

    As much as everyone at USC wants Meyer, I have a hard time believing he will be hired there. SC's target would have to be Petersen, but he won't go there so I don't know what they're going to do.

    They're going to have to:

    - focus on hundreds of millions in legal settlements and muck
    - fire their swannie (please don't)
    - hire a clean, under the radar type that will succeed because of the natural advantages ...

    Step 1. Get Adams, Hatchett

    Step 2. Get Covington, Xavier Carlton and Esteen

    Step 3. Get Rome and your choice of LV/GBJ

    Step 4. Get Banks and Will Latu and have them recruit Savell

    Step 5. Get Hector, maybe DJ if we’re feeling frisky, then fill in any holes and go after transfer portal guys

    Step 6. Show up to Jordan Botelho’s door with Justin Tuitele, a printed list of this current class, a fired Bob Gregory, BBK film vs his HS recruiting ranking & a bag full of cloth like paper that looks green but up close is actually black and white.

    Step 7. Sign Savell who has been humbled a lil by this experience. Have him get started with Will Latu on building the 2021 class

    I just nutted in my jockey shorts
