    We are a sinking ship. Everyone can see it except the people in the program.

    Maybe they don’t because recruiting has no bearing on this season (or next really) and they are ready to win now?

    I’m excited to win the PAC 12 while you TBSers are worried 2024 won’t be special.
    So they should ignore 50% of their job? And what if this year isn't special then what?
    I’ve been following recruiting since about 2003. Not sure how long you have been a Husky fan, but looking ahead and being gung ho about the future has always led to disappointment.

    Fans always are looking ahead. Jimmy has a roster ready to compete for PAC 12 titles now. You seem to enjoy the sizzle and being optimistic about the years ahead, but the time to be optimistic is right now.
    Being both bullish on the upcoming season and concerned about the future aren't mutually exclusive.
    I get that, but it’s always been dumb. When has it ever worked out? How did that leveling up bullshit go the past few years?

    We? Could literally win the NC and follow that up with a 1st place recruiting year and people would still be pissed were not setting up properly for a Bama type run

    Everything that's happening in this program right now screams mediocrity in a few years

    but let's say we win the pac and the rose bowl this year, we get a top 20 recruiting class in 2023... right?

    If we #winthepac this year we can #wintheportal, which would help us #avoidmediocrity.

    Worrying about the stars too much is dumb. Especially now with seasons canceled. But you want to land the guys you single out if you consider yourself good at talent evaluation and player development. Right now they don’t. And when they do Oregon or other better programs just come in and take them. That’s a bad trend. Winning is not going to solve it. It’s not like the losses got out of control. Most guys will suck or be busts but you stack talent (the guys you want to get) regardless because that’s what you do.

    We aren’t recruiting well. A lot of it is sizzle and the players are mostly replaceable, but good recruiting is closing most of your top targets.

    Winning will solve a lot tho. We can’t depend on the portal but we’ll get good transfers if we win to go along with the boost in recruiting.

    100%. The Eklund stink will tell you until your ears bleed that we’re getting the coaches top choices. The average fan can see who is offered and who signs, and let’s just say that while diamonds in the rough exist, you can’t build a program on them. At some point when you whiff on the top guys, people start asking questions.

    No one expects Jimbo to be fucking Saban, but he should be able to fight with Cristobal. At this point, he’s fighting against Beau Baldwin for players.

    Good thing Jimmy trusts his own evals! There’s DBs he hasn’t even offered yet that he likes better than Florence! Who needs a kid who shuts down 2 5* WRs??

    Also, close conerly or DIAFF.

    He’s not going to lose Conerly. It’s been done for months.

    Somehow, though, those 247 guys who watch 1,000 hours of high school football can't evaluate for shit. I wouldn't worry about an eval coming from them.

    But I also wouldn't count on fixing things through the portal. By and large, they're quitters, and quitters suck.

    Isn't the reason you're bullish on this season because we did "level up" the roster through recruiting?
    I guess, but not really. I could rattle off a long list of guys that this board dooged out over that are disappointments. Some hits too, but more disappointments for sure. That’s somewhat the nature of recruiting, but we have signed so many overrated 4 star players.

    Wake me up when we sign 6-8 top 100 players. I’m upset about JTT and Ebuka. We have to get those type of difference makers that are right there for us. I dont really care about any other misses. Win the PAC at least once the next two years. We don’t have much buzz and the only way to fix it is to win. If we win and churn out NFL players, things will get better. We (hopefully) have the roster right now.

    If Jimmy doesn’t win, it’s all over anyways and we are starting from scratch.
    If Jimmy doesn't win, he's still going to be here for quite awhile.

    Why? Is this is a USC, Miami or Texas A&M site? I feel like the damage has been done already with the guys in this class. Other than Conerly and some short putts out there, might be best to focus on 2022.

    Somehow both Florence and Tucker indicated interest despite Jimmy's dumbass not reciprocating. They should be getting phone calls when we? announce our DC/DBs coach.
