Are you suggesting that players change in the 7 years from their junior year in HS when they're awarded chips to when they're playing meaningful snaps?

Might be bad for this board's business model.

I hate to go full Dick Baird but yes, I am suggesting that. If you are scooping up 5 stars like Bama with great evaluation you can't beat it. That's my dream for Washington. Let me make that clear

I have become disillusioned again with West Coast stars and how they end up as college players. I was ALL IN on leveling up and Petersen's recruiting. It sure seemed real. And if we have any shot this season it needs to be real.

In Rick's day and just after up to Ty's legendary 2008 class, the ducks would mock our Puget Sound all stars then kick their ass.

Its evaluation and development which is boring and will not support a bidness like this.

My hope is that Oregon has the same issues as they did in fact, clean up this session of recruiting. On paper. Higher ranked guys than the guys that made the BCS title game and the playoffs

Want to avoid dooging but there might be something to the overvaluing of 4 stars in the Pac-12 region. I don't think there's any debating five stars and if you can stack them the way Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State or a team like USC in the 2000s was, you're going to kick the shit out of everyone. Out West, I think one thing we do is get overly excited about low-four star guys. I think the older system which gave out less four, and gave out threes, twos, and ones was more reliable.

Outside of possibly Oregon's class this year, and a couple recent USC classes, no one in the Pac-12 has signed classes in any recent time that are talented enough to do dominate the conference or compete at a high-level nationally without a ton of great development.
