I think you guys are in good hands.

Boise State had 3 players drafted this year and 3 more went UDFA. One of the UDFA's was a walk on that played 8 man HS football in Idaho!

Here's what the Dallas Cowboys coach said about players from Boise State (they now have 2 Boise State players drafted by Dallas -- Tyrone Crawford and Demarcus Lawrence -- and a third, Orlando Scandrick from another NFL team):

“We like Boise guys,” coach Jason Garrett said. “We always take a hard look at where the player has played, what kind of program (it is) and what that program is all about. They do a great job up there. It's a very competitive program. The players that come out of there compete; they play hard. We've got two of them, so we feel really good about how this guy has learned to play football and the environment he's been in.”

“They play with a hot motor,” Jones said. “Their motor runs high and I think that attracts people in the NFL. To play in our game, to play in the NFL you've got to have a passion for it and you've got to play every play and I think they get coached that way out there from the start out in Boise. So you see a lot of that in them and it's easy to start to like a guy. Obviously when you see some players and maybe they're not as coached up then you start to see a lot of plays off and this and that, then you start to downgrade a player. You've got to give it to them. We've looked at a lot of their guys the last 3-4 years and turn on tape and they're rolling"

    I know we are dooging it up for Petersen. I know the players have spoken about the difference between Petersen in 2014 and Sark in 2013.

    However, comments like these makes me feel good we have a great coach on our hands. You'd never see an NFL coach say this about a Sark player. That might be another reason why these guys we all think should be drafted higher are slipping because they know a Sark player has bad habits. Remember Kiffin players were the same way at USC as they'd have highly rated guys who going into the year were projected highly fall in the draft.

    Although it is kind of funny that Garrett is saying this since I view him as Sark's doppleganger in the NFL.

    I don't think this will happen but even if Petersen recruits slightly lower than Sark it won't matter. Petersen will build up his 3 stars and even his 2 stars while also maximizing his 4 stars something Sark couldn't do. Also despite what Kim GrinoldsFS thinks and like I told every Doog about Sark that recruiting has NEVER been a problem at UW. Chest always points it out that UW recruited fine that one year with Gilby and under Ty.

    I think if UW wins 10 games this year kids are more likely to come here with Petersen. Petersen impresses the parents and you can vision going to win big with him while you couldn't with Sark. Petersen is a proven coach with a proven track record of success. He also recruits the school while Sark negatively recruited. I want a kid who is coming to UW because he wants to succeed not a kid who is coming here because Oregon is worse than us.

    I think Petersen will have no problems getting top 15 classes and even if he doesn't I won't worry. His track record of developing lower tier recruits speak for themselves. Time for the Doogs/Kim to STFU already and LEAVE!
