How do you define low hanging fruit?Tequilla said:

Can’t wait to see DeBoer getting crowned for this one
It's not an either/or choice between cliche sarcasm ("another diamond in the rough" or "stole another mtn west recruit") and crowning the coach for getting commits that Oregon or USC didnt offer. There's plenty of ground in between. Realdawg and Dan Raley, and a lot of dm.com posters, have a hard time finding that ground too. They're just coming from the opposite side as you.
His measurables say he has a fighting chance
I haven’t watched his film because I typically don’t until they sign
My point is that if you look at the ratings he’s outside the Top 100 and has a circa 85 composite rating
If we’re being honest statistically this is the type of recruit that isn’t successful in a P5 program and usually transfers out to a G5 or eats up a scholarship until he gets his degree
There’s a decent number of players in this class that fall into this bucket …
We’ll know more obviously in a few years
Let’s just be objective about what is transpiring
I thunk most here are pretty objective. What I see transoiring is that there is a pretty broad tier of recruit that is simply out of UWs market eight now and it doesn't matter where they're from. The staff is casting a wide net and scouring for the few blue chips out there who will give UW an earnest look. Seems to me they're doing a good job of that. If the big inside LB recruit, Jackson I think, and the safety (Sanford?) commit I'll be fairly impressed with who they've gotten given the handicaps. Still some work to do but this class looks solid for the first full cycle.
I’m critical of taking low hanging fruit for a number of reasons
I agree with the areas that UW has shortfalls … it needs to be addressed
I also agree that I see the staff working hard … but it’s also why the low hanging fruit is frustrating

We started to suck after leveling up. I’ll take evaluation over some bullshit rankings. There are elite guys and then everyone else.
The class would be ranked much higher if it had Huard and Smalls in if. Both those guys are average starters, and that’s best case scenario.
I also went back and looked at in state recruiting the past five years. The talent is pretty bad. The fence is overrated, although elite guys like JT and Egbuka need to be at UW. There are not many guys doing much from the state.
These aren’t diamond in the rough prospects. We don’t have many of those. Most of these guys have been targeted for awhile. They may not be highly ranked but they aren’t Portland State and Montana type prospects either. The class seems like a typical UW class and ranked in the 20’s.
If DeBoer can coach, we will win. If he can’t, we won’t. Nothing has changed with Franny or with UW. -
Maybe we could use some Montana level players...RoadDawg55 said:

Looks like we let "silent commit" Jordan Sanford get away by letting him think about it for too long
Getting your pocket picked in recruiting by Texas Tech is always special -

Wonder if they're content with 1 safety this year (Holmes) or if they'll go after a local kid. Or maybe the portal again. -

From what I've read, it sounds like Victory Johnson may have needed to get caught up in the classroom. I also don't think we have much competition in landing himRoadDawg55 said:

Might as well compliment WNBA players to try to make the slogan relevant
