    The in-state stuff at this point is borderline laughable

    The doog narrative on DM and Discord are it's Jimmy's fault for poisoning the relationships with the local schools and 7v7 programs. That could be partially true but I don't think KDB should be blameless in this shit show. They had a chance to go suck off Tracy and Reggie before Lanning arrived in Eugene but instead they were throwing out hail mary offers to kids all over the country. I refuse to believe that if they had gotten all in on the local recruits that we'd be seeing this type of exodus. This is 3 years in a row where UW completely misses on the top in state talent.
    It’s been an issue for 3 coaches now (Pete to the least extent) so at this point it’s likely more systemic than coach specific

    That said the worst thing we could have done was hire/fire Thomas Ford … gives Tracy some built in ammo

    Agree. How difficult is it to go meet with the guy for an afternoon or invite him in after getting hired. Yes, the guy is shady as fuck but the top recruits in the area do go through him so swallow your fucking pride for a day instead of doing irreparable damage to your in-state recruiting
    I also wonder how much of it is due to DeBoer and his staff not making Washington a priority at FSU and having more solid connections in CA, TX, and AZ. I wonder if they had to do more research on WA kids, watching film and talking with coaches, before feeling comfortable with extending an offer. That and they probably already had a number of offers out to CA and TX kids who they already started working on while at FSU.

    2024 class looks more normal right now with WA ahead of all other states besides CA.
    Guarantee DeBoer had limited connections at Fresno outside of California … it’s a big reason why the transition class sucked so much because he had nothing at Fresno that translated in recruiting to the P5 level

    Yeah they should have hired his brother or something to land these guys because that worked out so well.

    I can’t wait to boo the kids.


    Lanning didn't even have to do that. All he did to win Tracy over was stroke his ego by visiting FSP and taking him to Joey's. I don't think KDB wanted to kiss the ring and this is the result. If Nick Saban can do the electric slide, Harbaugh can climb a tree, and Brian Kelly can do whatever the fuck he does on that spinning platform then the least KDB can do is kiss Tracy's ass for 5 minutes a month so he doesn't hold a vendetta.
    Pretty sure the “vendetta” is deeper than kissing someone’s ass

    Fuck Tracy. If And when UW wins it’ll change. Eventually kids will stop listening to it and I can’t understand why an adult male would waste that much time bad mouthing the local school. For whatever reason. Giant waste of time.

    Hmm, first time seeing this article. Kind of sheds some light on Heir.

    I think the focus of the programs has been helpful in getting kids noticed, and scholarships. That being said I think it's clear there are some huge ego's running these locations. The fact some of these kids lead with FSP or Heir on recruiting edits is interesting.

    Also apparently Tracy Ford (FSP) and Reggie Jones (Heir) are cousins. Interesting.

    Seeing that more and more … which is a really disturbing sign of how the “AAU world” has entrenched itself
