    You realize these kids lie about their weight all the time right? Any DB who is below 170, lies and self reports himself as 170. Jackson is not 170. He looks exactly like Miller did in high school in his Twitter bio pic. He's in the 150's. He's too damn skinny. I'm sick of this shit. You can't go from Kelee Ringo all the way down to Elijah Jackson. That's unacceptable. All the big schools around the nation want big and fast DB's for a reason. Alabama doesn't recruit skinny DB's. LSU doesn't recruit skinny DB's. We should not be taking early commitments from scrawny DB's.
    He also has about 14 months until his first fall camp.

    He ran a 4.49 at the combine. His game speed was never faster than that. We've heard about a lot of fast Husky combine times that didn't show up on the field. Andre Baccellia doesn't play like he's got 4.3 speed. Neither did Miller while he was here.

    Even if that was the case with Miller, can you guarantee Jackson becomes just as fast as Miller with the same leaping ability? No. So what's your point?

    Do we want guys that are already big and fast coming out of high school (at least on film)? Or do we want guys who MIGHT bulk up and MIGHT get faster?

    Don't be a passive aggressive little bitch if you're not gonna make a legit argument or take a stance. Do you want Elijah Jackson over Trey Paster? If the answer is no, then shut the fuck up because you're in the same boat as me.

    I don't give a shit about Elijah Jackson I'm here to make sure you don't forget you're a massive hypocrite.

    Miller graded out as the top CB in the PAC12 and one of the top in the nation before he got injured in 2017. No shite there is a difference between 40 time and football speed, but that’s a meaningless point...post injuries Miller didn’t get close to his earlier times.

    He struggled through the last 2 seasons with injuries and wasn’t the player he was the first half of 2017 and still got drafted. But ok.

    You want to bitch about Jackson go ahead (seems dumb)...just don’t throw Miller under the bus to try and do so.
    I'm not throwing Jordan Miller under the bus! I never once dissed him. Stop being fucking bleeding heart doogs just because Miller is a Dawg and was a good player for us. I compare current recruits to former Petersen UW recruits because that's what makes the most sense. It only makes sense to compare our recruiting now, to Petersen's earlier recruiting classes at UW. Some guys from those earlier classes we would absolutely take all over again if they were in the 2020 class, and some guys we wouldn't because we have leveled up recruiting.

    More talent is fucking better all the time. It's not an insult to Jordan Miller to say Dom Hampton is more physically talented than him. It's not an insult at all.

    Just like it's not an insult to BBK to say Daniel Heimuli is more physically talented than him or any one of our young inside backers really.

    It's also not an insult to Myles Gaskin to say Salvon Ahmed is more physically talented than him as well.

    Yes, those guys were all great players for us and are all NFL players now, but there are different fucking levels of talent you fucks! We have leveled up recruiting to a point where we are getting guys at those positions that are more physically talented than those great former players and that has become the new standard for our recruiting.

    So when I say Jackson's ceiling is right around being similar to Jordan Miller in college, that's not a fucking insult to Jordan Miller. We without question, want corners that are more physically talented than Jordan Miller because that's what it fucking takes to win a national championship. Nobody should feel bad or shy away from saying that. I'm sure Jordan Miller wants UW to recruit corners more physically talented than he was coming out of high school as well. That's what leveling up is. Going from signing Jordan Miller to signing big, beautiful corners like Keith Taylor and Dom Hampton who looked like NFL players coming out of fucking high school!

    It's not personal and it's not bashing a former player to say we want guys more talented than him at this point in the program's development. Those guys were great and will always hold a special place in our hearts for bringing the program back from mediocrity to pretty good. But to take that next step and win a national championship, we need to recruit better talent than a lot of those former players possessed and it's not an insult to them to point that out with our current recruiting. It just makes the most sense to compare current recruits with former Petersen recruits. That's all. No disrespect to anybody.

    Goodness fucking GRACIOUS guys. I can hear the salmon flying from your assholes with fear from lovely southwest ohio. It’s about time we got back on the national stage.

    If we're going up against my Wolf Pack for his services, we don't have a chance. Should be fun to watch him wreck the Mountain West under the shadows of Mt. Rose and Peavine Peak doe. What a time to be alive.

    I’m curious as well, a JUCO DT doesn’t make much sense from a scholarship/class distribution perspective
