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.Tequilla said:
But we aren’t closing our top targets … that’s the reason for concernRoadDawg55 said:
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.AtomicDawg said:
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.RoadDawg55 said:
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?insinceredawg said:

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.sonics1993 said:
So they should ignore 50% of their job? And what if this year isn't special then what?RoadDawg55 said:
Maybe they don’t because recruiting has no bearing on this season (or next really) and they are ready to win now?sonics1993 said:We are a sinking ship. Everyone can see it except the people in the program.
I’m excited to win the PAC 12 while you TBSers are worried 2024 won’t be special.
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.
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.
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?? -

Fuck lil Jimmie. 10+ wins, beat whoregon, win bowl and then start picking up the pieces of back to back shit classes.
Also, close conerly or DIAFF. -
He’s not going to lose Conerly. It’s been done for months.dirtysouwfdawg said:Fuck lil Jimmie. 10+ wins, beat whoregon, win bowl and then start picking up the pieces of back to back shit classes.

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. -
If Jimmy doesn't win, he's still going to be here for quite awhile.RoadDawg55 said:
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.insinceredawg said:
Isn't the reason you're bullish on this season because we did "level up" the roster through recruiting?RoadDawg55 said:

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. -
Barring a Willingham-esque meltdown, Jimmy is here as long as he wants.
