So you saying pete might be a racist?LaMichael_Corleone said:UCLA’s academic standards are higher than UDUB’s for athletes and Chip is also selective with his offers. There goes that theory of Pete needs to see his grades go up. How many people are tired of saying “I love Pete, but man....”

He hasn’t offered Levi Rogers, Carson Bruener or either Latu brother either.FirePete said:

Who’s simon’s primary recruiter? Gregory??? If it’s gregory we’re fucked lol. Let’s offer all these Texas and Utah kids before the hometown talent... but doogs still wonder why uw still has a perception problem. You think Gregory can talk to a black kid from Tacoma and explain to him why all these kids in Texas and utah are getting offered before him? Also Gregory is not getting herbig from Hawaii either... I have zero faith in him getting anybody good.LaMichael_Corleone said:UCLA’s academic standards are higher than UDUB’s for athletes and Chip is also selective with his offers.

What is it going to take for Pete to change? If fozzy, alijah Vera tucker, botelho, or smalls or any other big time recruit we got in early with but lost doesn’t I don’t think he’ll ever adapt.
Pete is one stubborn son of a gun and will go down trying this his way. It’s just so frustrating that he is so rigid and always slow to react rather than being proactive. I love Pete but he’s going to go down swinging his way. There’s a line I remember him says when he took over for sark when changing the culture and how uw needs to practice. I’m paraphrasing but he said something along the lines “we don’t know how to do it the old (sark) way; we only know how to do it our way”. Doesn’t matter the recruit... just like Pete’s shitty fucking offense he’s going to go do it his way or die trying.
Btw typing my rant while taking a walk for perspective on how shitty our offseason has been.... no botelho, jaden mcdaniels, savell smalls or anything type of excitement or hope. FUCK being a UW fan! This is why we never get anything good. -
This is why I'm a rowing guy now.

Sounds like you're having trouble handling the ups and downs of recruiting. Maybe you need to take a walk for some perspective. ;-)UDubHusky23 said:

"Anything good?" Two conference championships in three years? Rose Bowl ring a bell? We haven't climbed the mountain yet, but we're at base camp and looking pretty good. But yeah, Pete only knows his way and he believes in it. I'll go with that. You win enough and those guys who are just slipping beyond the event horizon now will get sucked in down the road.
And I think there might be something to this Texas strategy. I know DDY thinks it's a waste of time, but I think Pete is looking long term and seeing that we cannot sustain a championship team long-term by securing Washington and poaching California alone. Not with the big athletes we need on the lines. -

The thing is... Pete's never going to be a guy who loves to recruit. He's not Dabo or Harbaugh... which is fine. He doesn't have to be. There are certainly successful head coaches out there who aren't passionate or dynamic recruiters. But it seems to me that those head coaches need a recruiting coordinator who's dialed in, relentless, and really organized. Someone who sets an example by recruiting his own position hard. Someone who makes sure the program's recruiting messaging and identity is strong and consistent. Someone who makes sure that other coaches haven't stopped recruiting entirely. Someone who's clued-in enough to realize when certain narratives about bias against local recruits or recruits of color are having a deeply negative impact on the program... and is able to address them and figure out practical solutions to combat them.
We have Keith Bhonapha. -
That would make sense if he actually locked down Washington and California.RealRhino said:

Is it worth the time to recruit Texas when you only get a handful of guys from that state that contribute to the team? Can only think of Levi who’s a beast and fuller who actually do anything.
