I rarely play the part of the glass half full guy, but here goes... This is far from over. It's May, and awfully warm for December.

Putting out an article with the sole purpose of saying Fuck You to UW reads like an emotional overreaction to something. "Sounds like you care," in recruit form, basically. UW's definitely in a shitty spot right now, but it's not the worst spot. I'd rather be here than given a pity spot in a top 6 (s/o Cuog) when in reality the kid is apathetic and never seriously considering coming here.

It's like a girl saying she fucking hates you and never wants to talk to you ever again after a fight ... in reality you're going to beat again in a week or two once the dust settles. It sucks in the moment, but you jerk off in the interim and let her get over it. Compare that to going on a couple dates, it's okay but you never click, maybe get a courtesy kiss, but it's obviously not going anywhere.

You can flip an emotional reaction because there's something to work with; you're dead in the water once apathy sets in.

Well, if the Sonics1993 rumor is true, Pete slammed the door in Savell's face. Something pretty serious must have went down.

Hard to trust? Oh ABSOLUTELY go play for a guy that quit on Oregon after one year instead of the coach voted most trustworthy or whatever by his peers.

Or maybe the guy who badmouths guys who leave early and tries to get a better job every year.

smh

Yeah, but to play the race card Willie is black and "real is real" as was quoted previously by sa'vell himself.

For a 17 year old in sa'vell's shoes it's probably hard to think straight when Willie is in your ear because he looks like him, presents as being cut from the same cloth as him, represents a narrative that is familiar with him (that us colored folk need to stick together to succeed etc ...)

While the "other" guy from the home is some white dude who looks like the quintessential honky.

So, Pete needs to move away from this okg shit and sell the built for life and built for the NFL shit because:

- Willie and cristoballz cannot compete with it.
- they cannot claim the NFL draft picks record or pedigree
- they cannot claim the winning
- they cannot compete with the concept that built for life doesn't matter where you come from, what you look like, or how much money you come from. Success is success.
- if Pete is able to de-weaponize the anti-okg sentiment then he can compete from a position of strength which is development and eventually money, Fame and riches and bitches.

100% agree. Drop the OKG shit. Sell built for life.

And next year “Built for Life” will be weaponized by anti UW forces as racist code or dog whistling. I’d prefer Pete address it head on and call out Willie and Cristobal for their chicken-shit exploitative and racist recruiting tactics.

What has hurt Washington as well has been Oregon. Oregon was the first Pac 12 school outside of USC to recruit hard in the east coast and SEC country. That has pissed a lot of east coast schools off, so now they are recruiting harder on the west coast than they've ever done before. Washington can easily compete and in many cases beat Oregon and USC for California talent, but now they have to compete with Clemson, LSU, Alabama, etc.
