    This will be the third poly athlete that UW has lost because other schools are stalking their family members.

    4th if you include Toot Toot who was essentially committed to UW before signing with the Vols.

    That was the dirtiest recruitment in awhile. WC kid ending up at middling Tennessee with USC/UW/Oregon/Bama/tOSU/Oklahoma offers…

    It's either dirty or not. What difference does the "level" of dirtiness make? Once you cross the threshold of paying the family, winners win.

    Not sure we've offered parents money or family members a path to citizenship.

    I'd be encouraged to hear a story of how UW pushed the limits of ethical recruitment (or at least was accused of such). I find it unlikely but not impossible. Got any you can share?

    Hold on now haie’s OP was just about influencing family members not paying them.

    Every recruitment that comes down to the wire has different parties in the camp favoring different schools. I’m sure ASU still complains about Byron Murphy and various schools complained about Puka.

    We just only remember the excuses for the ones we lose.

    Can confirm no money offered to parents. But I was offered a hummer from a middle-aged-overweight-dude with a nacho fetish. That's got be worth something right?
    @CfettersNachoLover how was it?

    This coaching staff is garbage. When will Lake figure out he sucks? He has one of the best WR recruits in the country in his backyard but he wears a double douche run the damn ball hat. Fuck him and fuck this staff.

    Coaching staffs have been saying for 10 years now that they can do much better at UW than Sark and Pete have.

    Is it promising that Roberts visited O last weekend and hasn't decommitted yet? Didn't Smells flip somewhere around the day after his O visit?

    I can't even imagine the discussions that are going on behind this recruitment right now. To be a fly on the wall... Here's to hoping that Jimmy and co. are whipping out the biggest firehose they can find.



    Ben, if you're reading this, for the love of Jesse Christopher Almighty, don't do it. This one would shatter me and that's really difficult to do. Something something Christmas trees and Ben Roberts jerseys.

    Dman did a pod with Cooper Petegna who said they never went after the same players as duck. Even went so far to say they wouldn't pursue them if they showed interest because they could tell they wouldn't be a fit.

    So now Jimmy is going after the same guys but just losing them all?

    I think you have your order messed up. The ducks go after almost EVERY player that we do.

    You didn't know that? It was even brought up just this year.

    Harbaugh and Chip started it.

    "You didn't know that?" guys are the best.

    Must have missed that one.

    Why do dads of Brown kids dislike a university who had a mantra of OKG, and selectively recruited certain players who didn’t fit a mold to a predominately white university. The fact people don’t understand the cultural issues with OKG still baffles me.

    Because recruiting starts when they are Juniors, recruiting is a 3-4 year process but your response is typical the past doesn’t matter regarding it’s just weird that minority fathers don’t fuk with UW. It’s coincidence
