Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Why haven't we been in contact with Bijan Robinson and we are recruiting TX RBs?

    It's really hard to understand why Bonerpopper still is on staff ... the overall recruiting at the position largely has not been good enough

    At best, he's gotten what he should be getting locally ...

    I'm not sure that he's won anything outside of state that makes you go wow ...

    I really like Cam Davis ... but that's probably the best he's gotten out of state by far and he's a step back from the elite level guys.

    He's probably still on staff because you're wrong about Cam Davis. He is elite.
    I like Davis a lot but he's a major dropoff from Austin Jones and a decent one from Charboneau. Getting the third best RB on the west in a given cycle should be the absolute minimum expectation at UW.

    No he fucking isn't you idiot! Austin Jones is not fucking better than him! You're fucking dumb for thinking that.

    Look. I'll take Cam Davis but I still want nice things we should all want nice things. We should be able to go out and talk to the top targets and try to get them early. If they fizzle out later fuck at least we can get out early too but we were there early. Not every kid is going to work out but we should try. MMFG we got lucky on because he was local. But we should be looking for the next Napoleon or better. I just want to level up recruiting all around. Obviously The defense figured shit out. We just need the same on offense.

    I want the same thing too. Unfortunately for you and other star lovers, some of KB's top targets are 3-star guys in Sunday and Morrison. He seems to be going after them pretty hard. He went out to Oklahoma to offer Morrison personally. You have to remember, our coaches don't give a fuck about star ratings, they evaluate and rank these guys on their own, and it's a group effort by the entire staff to decide who gets an offer and who the top targets are. We'll see what happens. But if they are going hard after guys they've offered early in the cycle, I don't call that settling if they happen to land them just because they're rated 3-stars. Just get your top targets on both sides of the ball. That's all I want them to do.

    I think if they could select exactly who they want right now, they would select Sunday and Morrison as the two running backs and Adams as a DB (CB or SS).

    Jones is significantly better.

    You're a moron.

    Still.

    Of course you love Sunday now. You are such a doog.

    You're talking out your ass. No one thinks Adams is a DB except you, and you definitely don't know what the coaches are thinking.

    Also, we've offered the top 2 RBs in the country, and #5. If you think Sunday is better than either of them, you're nuts. Ngata is better too.

    It has nothing to do with stars. You just always manage to convince yourself that whoever is willing to commit to us is who the coaches actually want, and therefore the better player.

    It's not about Sunday being better than 5-star guys like Milton or Evans. He obviously isn't. But he is a realistic option (those guys don't give a fuck about UW regardless of who our RB coach is and are never coming here no matter what) who might be better at filling the power back role the coaches are looking to add to the offense better than those guys could. It's about finding the right fit for a specific role in the offense that is needed.
