We’re currently in good shape for Sav’ell and great shape for Banks... recruiting is going very well this cycle.sonics1993 said:
Don't know and honestly don't care. We are in good shape with him no matter if we are on the list or not.insinceredawg said:@sonics1993 based on your comments on Smalls, how confident are you that we'll make it on his top schools list?

@sonics1993 - What happened with Jonathan Kongbo?

We are never going to do whatever it takes to get someone. Look at Ringo, we never had a chance because we don't play those type of games. If you look at Jimmy's recruiting he's getting four star's but beside Bryon and Trent they are 3 star or low four stars. What makes Jimmy special is how he develops them. And recruiting front seven players is a lot more intense than DB recruiting trust me.FremontTroll said:
But at the level we are now recruiting at most of our recruits have an Alabama, Oregon, USC, and/or Ohio State coach willing to do or say anything to get that kid.sonics1993 said:
But we had Ale, he committed and signed. Nothing we can do when it gets shady. He had Henry, Henry's dad thought he should be a outside pass rusher/buck, nothing we can do about that. LB play has yet to be a problem so I don't see thee need to replace especially with his track record. There are a lot of of LB coaches that can recruit but can't coach and I don't wan them. The whole coaching staff is involved with special teams, blaming just Bob for it is wrong.FremontTroll said:
To play devil's advocate- there are always good excuses for the fish that got away.sonics1993 said:
Jordan is a solid recruiter and has helped out with few commitments no one gives him credit for like Daniel Heimuli, Troy Fautanu and Noa Ngalu. Bob on the other hand is just not a good recruiter but is a excellent coach who knows how to develop guys. And the staff around him can make up for his downfall with recruiting and he can coach them up. Remember we had Ale Kaho who is a 5 star LB and Henry To'o To'o but the parents got in the way.UDubHusky23 said:@sonics1993 how big of a liability are bob gregory and jordan paopao on the recruiting trail? I know pete will never make a change for gregory but it seems it like both of these coaches miss key guys year in and year out
Way too many big fish slip off our hooks at LB even with multiple staff members pitching in. Last year it was To'oTo'o the year before Ale this year Botelho and Herbig. All for good reasons but closers give recruits reasons to choose UW and to ignore reasons to go elsewhere.
The staff around Bob has prevented it from being an unmitigated disaster by getting Heimuli among others but the talent at LB still lags the rest of the roster.
Also why hasn't Bob's coaching and development translated to special teams success? Does he just not have enough time to devote or does he not have the knowledge or what?
I expect our coverage teams will be better this year just due to increased depth but our kicking still seems like it could be a huge disaster. And why is Fuller returning punts? Is that CP's decision?
So by definition when we lose on a kid like To'oto'o or Ale or Botelho it will be for a perceived shady or unfair reason.
Bob has lots of those types of losses now.
I can't think of a single Jimmy Lake recruit who we've lost due to family or other outside circumstances. Byron Murphy for one had a lot of pressure to go elsewhere but Jimmy held on.
Malloe got burned twice on Marlon and Togiai. We thought he was going to be another subpar recruiter but either those really were both flukes or he made a huge adjustment because he has been lights out ever since.
I don't want an LB coach that can recruit but can't coach. I want one who can do both.
Everyone wants to work for CP at this point. Why not leverage that to hit another homerun assistant hire? Look at the hit rate of coaches added to the staff later vs the original staff.
Whatever the problem with special teams was last year I hope they adjusted their approach this year. -
None that I would share but he was wild.whatshouldicareabout said:Do you have any stories from when Sark was coach here or at USC or Bama?

How many 2020 recruits (if any) are not being talked about at all on UW recruiting forums, but UW is in good shape to land?
-
@sonics1993 - After doing a lot of research, is the other "CATACLYSM” recruit Jaden Navarrette? Also is Damien Sellers still on our board?
-
There's a few recruits UW still has a shot at landing but aren't being discussed.bananasnblondes said:How many 2020 recruits (if any) are not being talked about at all on UW recruiting forums, but UW is in good shape to land?
