    Sark left us no juniors or seniors at safety after five years of recruiting. Indefensibly stupid.

    Neuheisel has been the best example of a coach understanding the long term interests of the team in our post-DJ era. S

    Well James Sample was supposed to be an upperclassmen Safety by now. Along with Darien Washington. I think Sark's problem was one that Coach Pete tries to avoid with OKG. He wants guys that do the work in the classroom as well and guys with character. When you don't have those attributes kids flame out leaving holes.

    I was really excited for Sample, wish he hadn't moved on. Dude could hit.

    Redshirting has lost its luster. NFL Rookie Salary cap makes Junior more likely to leave the program.

    Redshirting star caliber players, those likely to be first day draft picks after three years, is a waste of a year. It isn't an easy task, but the coaches are being paid millions to show great judgement about who these few players are and make decisions about redshirting accordingly.

    Playing a guy like Shaq Thompson as a freshman was a no brainer. Danny Shelton was probably a defensible decision. Guys like Josh Shirley, Elijah Qualls, Marcus Farria, etc (this list could go on for a mile just using the past 5 years) as freshmen were questionable decisions at best. There's no way to view Sark as anything but a failure in this aspect of his job at UW.

    Baker is going to play and probably has to based not just on talent but also on the lack of good players on the roster at his position.

    Josh Shirley was redshirted though. Not that it mattered since Sark never played him last year for whatever reason.
    Qualls RS as well.
    Did he? I thought Sark burned his RS too against Boise. I remember there was two DL he burned their RS seasons for no fucking reason at all.
    Qualls actually got a redshirt. Farria and Mathis both had theirs burned so they could play in the 4th quarter against Idaho State and Cal. Absolutely stupid and I guarantee we will be wishing those guys had an extra year of eligibility in 3 years
    If you can't see why needing depth in the 4th quarter against the juggernaut Bengals and Golden Bears is necessary then I can't help you.
