Arizona DB coach punching air right now.
His tape is pretty good, certainly a playmaker. Would like to know measurables of course. Not too much info about him, looks like he wasn't really recruited out of hs, maybe he grew a lot in the last couple years.

Not watching the video at this point …
But having to go the JuCo route in DB recruiting is pretty damn telling -
Telling of what? I mean, I probably know most of what you'd say, but am curious for your full take.Tequilla said:Not watching the video at this point …

One concern it immediately raises for me is that they're not feeling too good about the db room, specifically the corners, behind Gordon and McDuffie. I read somewhere earlier that Elijah Jackson and Powell were the guys standing out behind the starters. That caused me to raise an eyebrow, now this offer increases my suspicions about what that means.
I haven't watched so I don't even know, but I assume he's a corner. -
Terrence and Whillup just went 1 for 16 on DB targets (from HS) this cycle. They are having to scavenger the juco ranks because no one from the hs ranks want to play for uschuck said:

Again, we're competing with Zona, Beavers, and Colorado for our recruits.
Just fucking roll the dice and see if you can win some games and use that to your advantage in recruiting. Filling up our commit list with guys Willingham would have taken, at this point, is not a sound strategy -
Well duh, but offering a JC corner and whiffing on HS guys probably points to different issues. One is about the very near future, specifically next season, while the other is about a few years down the road.UDubHusky23 said:

There's an assumption that there is talent already on hand to maintain or even improve the overall level of play at UW for a couple of years before the shit recruiting becomes apparent. Going after JC guys, whether they're WSU/Arizona caliber guys or not, is a sign that the staff isn't so confident. -

Missing out at a staggering level of your targets has you dipping further and further to find someone to say yes … we got a guy for LAST YEAR’s class this summer … so this isn’t a new issue
Just reading reports you’ve heard some of the players competing for spots talking about transfers … for example, bringing in Bookie likely pushes someone back in the pecking order for playing time … tough pill to swallow when you’ve been hiding your time and honing your craft to then have the right pulled right out from under you
Finally, you get a compounding impact when you aren’t getting your top targets that those you get either need more time to develop and/or frankly aren’t good enough
By and large, UW doesn’t recruit at the JuCo level … when we do there’s a targeted reason like with Moore where it’s a local kid that we’d have taken out of HS if he would have qualified
This isn’t one of those situations … this is you have coaches that can’t recruit out of a wet paper bag -
Expecting attrition in the DB room which is why it's a JUCO DB.

I think Terrence and whillup are just getting desperate at this point. Whatever they are selling, PSAs are not buying.chuck said:

The juco and transfer portal cannot be sustainable long term as the margin of error gets that much smaller due to it alienating younger players and not having a lot of time of the juco and transfer guys to get them up to speed or develop them.
