But all the blue bloods stole UWs lunch money!
This narrative is so FS. Yeah, we sucked at WR this year at TE will continue to suck on perpetuity.
The trend is clear...

I'm not good at Maff but seems like we are getting more and more BC's each year. And that's with 3 bowl losses in a row.
It's perception. We ARE losing more battles over blue chips to blue bloods now than before but that's also because we are in it for more blue chips that blue bloods want now. It happens when you level up from diamonds in the ruff and regional battles against Boise to consensus blue chips and the national recruiting stage.
It’s important to note that under Petersen we will likely always have smaller classes. That has its pros and cons, but realistically it puts at a pretty big competitive disadvantage when many of the top 10 classes will sign 23-27 players each year and we’ll be closer to 20-22.
Signing 3-4 more players just gives you that much better odds of players panning out while at the same time churning over the bottom of your roster suddenly senioring guys or suggesting transfers. Not everybody does it, but lots of the big boys do.
Thought it was worth bringing up cause every year someone brings up “if we signed up as many players and so and so are classes would be ranked the same.”

Counterpoint is that Pete is bringing in legit walkons

Some are fucking project that time to develop. King was not amazing until his Sr year. So

It's the lesser of two evils for Pete.
"honor and integrity" versus "whatever it takes"
given his (lack of) apparent coffee cup stance, it is what it is.
We have to live with it and deal with the ongoing high blood pressure TBS'ing.

Yea, I agree. Wasn't saying what is right or wrong, more so for the argument of stacking classes we are going to be at a disadvantage.
Look at the top 7 schools (Sorry Swaye, for ease of use I went composite)
That is 19-26 more players for these teams over a 4 year cycle. That is equivalent to a large recruiting class for UW EVERY 4 YEARS. Recruiting is all a numbers game. The more highly rated players you sign, the higher likelihood that some pan out. We have to hit at a much higher rate and develop much better to have success against the top teams. Yes, I know the rules have changed, but you can still mess with the numbers each class.
Getting walk-ons is a counter point, especially this year, but it doesn't close the gap much (considering how many less players we are signing). Myles Bryant is by far the best walk-on under Petersen and 1/2 the bored hates him (I stand with Myles).

I’ll also be updating my total team talent trajectory and comparison vs National Champ Clemson once the 2019 Total talent scores are available.

Ohio State lost the best recruiter in the game
