    So, why does Pete put Simon on the backburner? Are there really croots better than him at his position(s)…?

    I'm not sure. I think that Petersen is worried about him being physically maxed out. I hope I'm wrong. Please tell me I'm wrong, @HillsboroDuck?

    If Pete is purposefully delaying offering in state kids to build prestige in the offer, I get it. But then dont offer California 3 stars early...

    We have 11 total offers out for 2021, all of which are to high 4 star and 5 star players...
    PGOS really demonstrating he knows more about recruiting than we give him credit for.

    Dont act like you knew that shit

    2020 wasnt that way

    2020 we offered Smalls super early, Hackett very early and Adams and Hector plenty early, there were no large numbers of Cali 3 stars offered before them. Rogers and Scott appear to be in their own category. Pete isn't waiting to offer them based on prestige.

    Hopefully Pete doesn't have similar qualms about Simon and Will Latu.

    I had stupidly hoped that after losing smalls Peter might change his style a little. Instead we have offered three fucking stiffs from Texas.

    They are not stiffs, but WA has players of equivalent talent

    So I always get Simon and Rogers confused, as they're the two 47 year olds of the class. Simon is the one with no red flags, right? The one that's the most confusing as to why there's no offer?

    What position would you see him playing in UW's system, and how would he stack up against other players on their board at those positions?

    I'm just trying to make sense as to why there's no offer yet. If they're actively targeting "better" players, okay. If there are grades or character issues, okay. If he's a tweener or otherwise not a position fit, okay. But I'm not seeing any of these things.

    They are different classes for one thing. Rogers is the 2020 TE, Simon is the 2021 athlete. I think we may be (not) recruiting him as LB though not sure.

    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....”

    So you saying pete might be a racist?

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

    Pete’s racist against Washingtonians.
    Not everyone paid enough attention in English class to infer sarcasm from writing I guess.

    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.

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

    "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.
    That would make sense if he actually locked down Washington and California.

    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.
