Underrated Aspect Of UW Recruiting

I won't rehash a lot of the topics that have already been discussed about Pete's recruiting process. Losing Toot Toot and likely Puka Shells on signing day fucking sucks. And it's been discussed at length what needs to be done to close better, which was then countered by 14 Four Star players and a great overall class.
Say what you want about Pete's process and how long it takes to offer guys (I certainly have, which @HillsboroDuck can attest to) or some of the guys he doesn't offer or some of the guys he offers that seems like a waste. Overall, the talent level has gotten better each year which I have also broken down in detail.
But what I did want to take a second to focus on was a largely glanced over portion of this whole process:
With Asa reaffirming and signing, there were 0 de-commits this year.
Fightin Herms - 5
Zona - 4
Cal Too High - 4
Ruffalo Soldier - 10 (They got pilfered by the bigger boys who came calling late)
ScoDucks - 7 (Those players were backup plans anyway)
Beavlets - 1 (Gotta have players people want to lose em Babushka)
Stanford - 0
UCLA - 2
USC LOLOLOL - 5
Utah - 0
Pirates - 4
2019 - 0
2018 - Kaho (Nick Bolton doesn't count)
2017 - Marlon and Wedington
2016 - 0
2015 - 0
It's a huge fucking disappointment to not beat out Tennessee and Oregon and it needs to be remedied. But it's a huge fucking relief to not have dudes flipping last minute and leaving a huge hole you didn't plan on existing.

I count Asa as a decommit. Pretty doogish to ignore, Even if he did recommit later.

Next year is going to be so interesting because of the level/talent of in state kids and the others who we are in a great spot for.

2) He signed on the line, so it's washed from my memory -
I didn't forget, I ignored. He wasn't a Pete guy and he has already moved on again which isn't a surprise to anyone who followed him.Neighbor2972 said:People forget

To be honest and if I can be honest here quite honestly it pisses me off to read on sports websites that "UW is battling USC for second place behind Oregon in recruiting this year"
USC has a moron for a coach and open revolt among the fans and boosters and a non bowl season. Oregon beating us was routine 4 years ago but since football was reinvented they have been average.
Fucking away that game this year on typical Petersen bullshit coaching really hurt. It matters.

I decommitted..... I'm all @UWSoftball now.

That's an unsurprisingly stupid comment. He fucking signed didn't he?Bread said:I count Asa as a decommit. Pretty doogish to ignore, Even if he did recommit later.
You, like a couple of other posters, are trying too hard to hold the old half brain line of "everything sucks, fire everyone".
UW can't close? Did they not just close with two national recruits? Did they not close 2/3 last year, only missing one late Target to the SEC?
Terw isn't a team out there who closed everyine they pursued. Not Bama,not Oregon, not anyone. -
Bama pretty much did. 24 blue chips holy fuck.chuck said:
