Resetting expectations

Based on the plodding RB Boner is recruiting, they need a lead blocker to have any chance of picking up positive yards in the running game.bananasnblondes said:@sonics1993, what the deal with UW sniffing around at another FB (kid from Utah named Coco)? I know they havent offered him yet but they are obviously talking to the kid about playing fullback. My guess is they might end up having to take Jumper as an actual TE and then still need a FB for some reason, but that seems like a terrible waste of valuable scholarship spots

Shouldn’t the title of this thread be lowering expectations?

Now I can't get the theme song to this year's recruiting out of my head:
-
@sonics1993
1. Are we still recruiting Wynden?
2. What's the outlook on DB recruiting? If we take Leigber and Taylor now, will we still try to flip Burke, Riley, or Smith?
3. Did we lose Lonyatta or we were not recruiting him that hard? I gotta think if we took him right now then we've given up on landing both Troy/EE.
4. Do you think we land Bowers or Shield at TE? And if we don't, is Jumper our 2nd TE and the Coco kid going to be our Fullback/Halfback?
5. Are we done at RB?
6. Do you expect Sam Adams to be on the roster a year from now? -

Has Coach K and Malloe not earned a little trust around here?sonics1993 said:
If there's two guys I trust it's Malloe and Coach K and they see a big body that can move that just needs to be coached up.bananasnblondes said:

Happening on Sunday. The woof wasn't for Berry who I knew was committing because I don't think it was a big pick up. I knew Finau was getting offered but didn't know he would commit on the spot.bananasnblondes said:Is the "woof" you woofed the other day actually happening and was it who people thought it was?
@sonics1993 what are your thoughts on the Finau offer and commitment? Any insight into how that came about?
When Big Ern suggested such a thing, the townsfolk brought out pitchforks. When Sonics says it, you clap like schoolgirls. What a fickle bunch.
And also, the other one actually has real information.
Oh please. The things I've spun positively are 1. Let this class play out (I'll double down on that if you wish), and 2. Some of the 3* guys in this class have great upside (ditto).

Bingo. The only reason I still have a sub (besides hating money) is for the National guys and access to every school’s boreds. I read other boreds because their is a treasure trove of info on them. I haven’t gotten any real info from LPT in, well, ever.dnc said:
Dawgman isn’t successful (if you can call it that) because of marketing. Whatever success you can attribute to it is because Samek (RIP) was first to market. First mover advantage is huge. They built a base when no one else was in the market, and while most of this OGs have long since moved on that original base gave them the resources and credibility to get hooked up with a network (Rivals which became the insiders which became scout which became fox sports for a second which became scout again which was bought up by 247).dougthedawg said:
It just goes to show how important marketing is.sonics1993 said:
Hell no. Scott has literally no clue what he's talking about and flip flops all the time. His only source is Brandon Huffman who just hypes up anybody from FSP and anybody Gee Scott likes so he can get info from them. His recruiting blogs are worthless.insinceredawg said:
Is it true that JTT feels more comfortable with Big Joe in Oregon than Ikaika?sonics1993 said:
Logically speaking it looks good for UW. Both recruits have strong relationships with there position coaches and both families prefer UW but until I see Jimmy close someone, I won't get my hopes up for either guy.bananasnblondes said:So no go on Emeka and JTT?
You could be a lazy, stupid, insecure midget; a lazy, insecure, morbidly obese autistic; and a lazy, blithering fucking idiot who was cut from a DII squad as a frosh and you can make more than every other husky fan site combined by marketing it right.
If only Jimmy got that.
DM is what it is because of its access to guys like Biggins and Huffman and it’s ability for people to subscribe and get access to all kinds of national coverage as well.
It guides them credibility they could never earn on their own.
It pays to be FIRST. -
I get not liking Berry but he is far from plodding. Hes essentially a height-weight-speed prospectBleachedAnusDawg said:
