    Hiring Donovan was a sure path to getting fired as a hc

    Hold Up is that a Kim quote? I’m confused if so.. man has no shame!!

    The Dawgman and 247 guys are not holding any punches back now that Jimmy is gone. @sonics1993 was first and right on all these points when it came to his recruiting approach and why it failed so spectacularly.

    -Huff quoted an anonymous in state recruit that said other schools made him feel like a priority while Jimmy made recruits feel like they should be grateful UW is even considering them
    -Jimmy basically ghosted CP after he took over and scrapped his entire recruiting infrastructure. The firing of Cooper Petagna and promotion of Justin Glenn was just the beginning, a lot of mechanisms and processes in the back end were replaced for no apparent reason.
    -Even before covid hit Jimmy was already lagging in recruiting. Huff said even Cal had 60+ kids on campus for their Junior day in early 2020 while UW had a small group. Once covid hit they just gave up.
    -CP was great at pushing the OKG/Built for Life message with class and respect without coming across as elitist or arrogant. Jimmy not so much.

    This has always been Kim's M.O.

    That was the dumbest hire Lake made to his staff and most likely the biggest factor that cost him his job over the long term. Thank UW TE coach Derham Cato who recommended Donovan to Lake.

    Cato should have been fired with him for the suggestion alone.

    We all owe Cato thanks. His poor decision making fixed a shitty situation, and his time is coming too.
    His idiotic suggestion literally is going to cost him 6 or 7 figures over the life of his career.
