The usage of Will Harris is completely illogical
And now here he is spending all week in Texas
We hired a swaggy so-cal dude to recruit Texas. Here's and idea, if you want to recruit Texas, maybe hire someone from Texas.
Meanwhile, as clearly the best DB school in the west, we are getting blown the fuck out on Elias Ricks, Kelee Ringo, Clark Phillips and Lathan Ransom. You don't need to recruit ANY defensive backs in Texas, there are fucking plenty of them on the West Coast, maybe recruit them. Its a good thing we have two DB coaches!
Our defensive backs class will probably still be good, because Jimmy Lake, but that's not really the point.
What is the best usage of Will Harris' strengths? If you hire Will Harris as an 'extra coach', (meaning that Lake is still going to recruit all the DBs) let Harris go all out recruiting the elite so-cal guys. We might actually have a shot at Justin Flowe, Jordan Banks, or Elias Ricks if Harris was laser focused on getting them.
I don't mind recruiting Texas as much as some people. If you want to send Coach K to Dallas to offer a few high upside Nigerian defensive ends, I have no problem with that. But what do we think we are doing investing so many resources into Texas for a coach WHO HAS NO EXPERIENCE RECRUITING TEXAS? Do we actually think we are going to compete with Texas or A&M for kids?
Will Harris seems like a charismatic dude, and I'm sure he'd do fine recruiting Texas kids. But I don't think you can convince me that is the best use of him as a recruiter.
Free Will Harris from this bullshit

Another armchair recruiter, sitting in his own shit-stained boxers, getting off on the smell of his own farts, thinking they know more than the coaches. Standard operating procedure.

No ballz and Malloe don’t suck right now... until they do.
Last years class sucked, until it didn’t... (couple splashes at the end could’ve made it amazeballz but we don’t have bagmen.)
Our current strategy sucks, until it doesn’t.
Yes, that’s the typical MO.
Side note- who doesn’t like the smell of their own farts? Asken for a fren. -
Harris in Texas? Well KB is our recruiting coordinator. Pretty much explains it.
-
I was going to make a similar thread. It seemed he was hired to replace Lake because it looked like Lake was going to leave soon. That clearly wasn't the case and Harris seems a little bit redundant. But what do I know.

There's liking the smell of your own farts and then there's masturbating to the smell of your own farts. Completely different ballgame.dirtysouwfdawg said:

I don’t get the focus on Texas. We’ve only signed a couple of guys from Texas since Pete’s been here.

Word is he was told to dust of his resume

Where are the tweets from the Washington HS schools thanking UW assistants for stopping by? Exactly. Pete’s strategy is befuddlingNeighbor2972 said:These were Harris' first follows right after he got the job

It really isn’t. It’s a waste of time and money! -
I tend not to question internal recruiting strategies since the asymmetry of information between us and them is absolutely massive.
That said, I just have no fucking clue what value Harris is bringing to the table. By all appearances he's a very outgoing and charismatic guy, so to not hear his name in connection with any 2020 recruits is bizarre. And I can't even theorize what the fuck we're doing deploying him to Texas. There's usually plausible reasons for some of the odd stuff Pete does, but this time I can't think of any reason that this approach even remotely makes sense. -
Maybe he's the patsy? Maybe he's driving around Texas with bags full of money and handing it out to all the coaches down there to plant the UW seed, and if we get busted he can take the fall?

One of them was Levi though. Sometimes you gotta long play some stuff as an organization. I don't mind it too muchRoadDawg55 said:I don’t get the focus on Texas. We’ve only signed a couple of guys from Texas since Pete’s been here.

Focus on Texas is retarded.
1. We need top shelf talent to take our program from pac-12 Boise to WASHINGTON.
2. We can’t even consistently beat TCU for guys like Colt Ellison.
3. However, we can beat USC for kids like Latu.
4. So of course it makes sense to keep trying to find scraps and rarities in Texas where our hit rate on an offer is LITERALLY 100 times lower than it is in Cali.
WAKE ME UP WHEN WE BEAT FUCKING TEXAS FOR A TOP 247 PLAYER.
Until then, how about we stop this beta shit.
We need to go into the bar and get 10s. Not try and find under appreciated girls at the library and try to get her makeup, fitness and clothing tutorials.
We are literally trying harder in Texas than LA. -
Let’s tweet out all the great high school programs we are visiting in Texas when we haven’t decided if we are going to offer the highly sought after talented kids within a 30 minute drive from campus!

I got banned from Dawgman, doog. Multiple times. I'm caught in purgatory between the outlandish takes, assumption of knowledge, and melodrama of HH and the everything-is-beautiful, cringy, dorky, Sunday school, Big Brother is watching you 1984 Dawgman.

So be clear, I am not a huge fan of our presence in Texas either. Unless we get at least one Levi O caliber player every year, I don't think it's worth it. But you need to realize Petersen LOVES Texas. He pulled guys outta there to Boise all the time. granted they weren't wanted by anyone in state, but still, he likes the players down there. I think it's mostly because football is so serious that the high school players already understand the pressure and dedication required (obviously it's so much more when you get to college) to win. I also think his message isn't landing in the inner cities in California and they think the message will and in Texas where football is a bigger deal.
Again, I don't endorse the plan and I want us to hit California and LA harder, but this is what I think is going on. I want to die. -

Hiring Harris to recruit Texas and coach a position that Lake has well covered is illogical. -
