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

Just received email from a former Husky player

I had asked him if he was happy like I am with the Petersen hire...

"No. This ain't Boise st. Look at the guys he's already bringing in for official visits. All guys he recruited at Boise st."

    Good point... Save the Ships for next year. Keep the PSA who wants UW, the rest can fuck off. But how do we loose an Idaho recruit?

    Recruiting always takes a hit when a new coach comes in. This isn't new. Also, it's about the same temperature as early February, but signing day is seven weeks away. :p

    Jeezus ... The players Sark recruited are waiting for a text saying "Sup Brah?" ... Probably the same set of teen boyz ...

    Lets let it play out...

    It will be interesting to see who we get ... Or maybe it won't be ... In that case it will be interesting to see why it wasn't interesting.

    Either way abundance.

    I guess I must be missing something. Why and how is it that Petersen will transform UW's football roster into a bunch of Mountain West 2,3,or no-stars that somehow get drafted to stick in the NFL. Even if he wanted to which I'm certain he doesn't, I think it impossible that Petersen could magically move Broncomania to Husky Stadium. But some doogs around here including at least one former Husky player can't seem to shake their envy or hatred of overachieving BSU football long enough to realize that Petersen came to Montlake for the Purple & Gold without a trace of Blue turf in his cleats.

    Just hope it is a line heavy bunch to salvage the class.

    It is possible to get a stellar recruiting class out of the gate. Pete Carroll did it when he took over. Dumbass Bob Toledo said some stupid shit about defense not mattering as much as offense in his program, so Pete Carroll copied the quote and mailed it out to all of UCLA's defensive commits and elite recruits. Carroll ended up getting most of the So. Cal studs that year except Matt Ware.

    What was he saying when Sark was coaching in the Rose Bowl? I'm not trying to be snippy, I just don't want to hear this shit from people that were all jacked up on free pub.

    Petersen is in a tough spot. He's not a recruiting wizz. All the kids he was recruiting were Boise State quality. The last coach had pretty clearly checked out of recruiting for this season.

    Let him get guys he likes in for this class. It wasn't going to be great even if Sark stayed. If recruiting doesn't get better next year there's reason to be concerned.

    This is such typical Seattle loser crying. Sark and Ty get tons of free passes but winners like Carroll and Petersen get shit on.

    Yes. We should do this for all of WSU's defensive recruits. Immediately.

    Couple of points:

    UCLA and USC are in the same city.

    Bob Toledo was an idiot.

    Recruiting to SC is a lil different than recruiting to Washington ... when you consider "stellar players"

    Again ...

    Would you rather have Coach Pete going on a well deserved 2 week golf vacation ...

    Or would you rather he show up after his bowl game?
