Brock Huard statement about DeBoer

He predicts that recruiting will be the biggest shortcoming for DeBoer in the coming years. But that there are other things DeBoer can do to compensate.

This was told to me by an acquaintance of mine and I didn't hear the actual interview. But it doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement.

    It’s going to be his staff that will sink recruiting

    It’s going to be Karen Ramming, the incompetent NIL strategy by UW and prohibition of boosters doing what everyone else is doing by the UW administration to ensure things are done the right way that will sink recruiting.
    That too

    I have a long history of always hating the corches and always blaming everything on them, but honest to fuck the entire paradigm of recruiting has changed. It is not as easy as saying "sell them" and "winners win" now. That isn't an excuse. It's reality. You absolutely MUST have an AD that encourages a robust and competitive NIL program, or you can have the best recruiters ever and you are never going to be top of conference. Now you have to be great recruiters AND have a well oiled payoff machine via NIL. I fear we are never going to know how good Boner and his corches are because he is never going to be backed by a strong pay to play NIL program. So, back of the bus while Ramming and Cohen trade recipes for bar cookies.

    TL;DR: Boner is a one armed man in a paperhanging contest without NIL.

    I mostly agree but I don’t think NIL is gonna change much of anything. The schools down South will still rule.

    That said, our AD sucks and does not do everything they can to help us win. If DeBoer is good he will win the PAC 12 in the next 3-4 years. I might give him some slight leeway next year, but with the portal, he should win. The players he needs to win with are already on the team.
