I mean fuck's sake, we had 43 four/five star kids "in progress" on the roster this year. More than Oregon or USC. We're still gonna be well over 50% 4/5 stars for the foreseeable future.

Not after last season completely broke me.
Maybe I've got the numbers wrong, but my perception is that the higher the "blue chip ratio" got, the shittier the team's play and record, ending in last season's 4-5 dumpster fire with the highest blue chip ratio in the conference, a 5-star quarterback, and finally fewer "3-star weaklings" like BBK starting. It left me wondering if the SOC program was broken, as it sure looked like nobody was getting any better/stronger than they were the day they stepped on campus.
So fuck it. I don't care who they were going to get if those kids aren't going to be developed into big time players anyway. I'll take 12 Greg Gaineses if that's on the menu.
To me, it always came down to those few in-state (in this class) elite kids who are can't-miss difference makers. Egbuka and JTT were this class's Budda or Byron Murphy or John Ross, guys who can singlehandedly turn a game by making an elite play. Everything below those kinds of difference-makers seems to be more dependent on coaching and development than initial ranking.
So no JTT and Egbuka, and I'm just struggling to care about today. The rest will either develop into elite players (Gaines, BBK, Jones, etc.) or they won't, but it won't matter one bit without a few game-breaking players mixed in when facing a roster in the postseason that's full of Egbukas and JTTs.
If we just get this recruit or that recruit...blah, blah, blah.
I'm sure glad we got ZTF and Ulofoshio, the "must gets" everyone told us about. Losing Kaho really devastated the program.
Voi could potentially be Greg Gaines with super high end athleticism. -
It's not surprising to me because I think Jimmy learned some bad habits from Petersen's last year, unlearning the good habits Pete had taught in the previous years. He learned that there is more to life than winning, more to life than football, that you need some perspective; he unlearned that to be a winner in a sea of other people trying to win you have to eat, drink, and sleep winning, and most importantly you have to demand the same from everyone around you. Winning has to inform everything you do at work, and that work has to become your whole life to an unhealthy level for at least 9-10 months a year.Houhusky said:Its not surprising Jimmy doesn't get great return on his "investment"
He is young, a first time head coach, only been at UW, seems like he wants to be in the NFL someday, and comes across somewhat undisciplined and runs his mouth alot.
Coaching both in college and in the NFL is an incestuous good ole boys fraternity. Lake's connections to hire guys (especially proven/in-demand guys) was always going to be extremely limited.
Im glad they are willing to spend the money.
Do I think as a human, Pete has evolved? Absolutely, I bet his family is super appreciative for the change. But, would I ever want him back as the head coach at a competitive program? Fuck no, unless he was willing to let Ronnie Lott chop off his pinkie to prove he needs it.
Lake has exactly until maybe a month after this season is finally over for me to give him any benefit of the doubt. If he doesn't go scorched earth on his coaching staff after this year's game and recruiting performance, it will be pretty clear he doesn't have what it takes, and it's just AANDY's ticking clock until it's on to the next guy. -

I hope he turns into half the player of AD.

Obviously he's not Aaron Donald, but I do see similarities in their size and their game. Voi has some serious athleticism. I love him.backthepack said:I hope he turns into half the player of AD.
