Update, with a shout out to Peterman:
He addressed those concerns this week on both “The Bald Faced Truth” and “Dirt and Sprague,” indicating he needs to evolve.

In the modern recruiting world, high school kids are being offered earlier and earlier, and there’s a perception that struggling programs should offer first.
Under Smith, Oregon State has built a reputation for taking its time before offering scholarships to high school prospects – an approach used by Washington’s Chris Petersen.
And it has rubbed many recruits the wrong way, angering some of the program’s top targets.
Some of the program's top targets have been rubbed the wrong way (too gentle? Not yankoffed hard enough?) and are at risk of taking their talents to Weber State instate. -

This. Stars matter, but there are so many guys picked in the NFL draft that were basically ignored when they were recruits. It’s harder to win at WSU or OSU, but the right coach can win anywhere.DerekJohnson said:
Dennis Erickson seemed to do okay, so it's not impossible with the right guyNeighbor2972 said:To be fair, it must suck to recruit to OSU. Your best pitch is "Technically we are a Pac-12 school"
I don't know if he'd do that much better if he really tried.
