    So wait did we drop Herbig then in order to not take an LB’s this year or did we hold off on offering to in fact keep space open for Herbig?

    Your answer is in the Herbig thread. If an ILB offer followed shortly thereafter, he was a miss.
    Big loss for Oregon if UW offers their top realistic ILB target. Who's Oregon gonna get?
    Oregon see Sewell as an ILB. Btw, Georgia recruitniks are saying the same thing.

    Also, Oregon feels good about Jackson LaDuke.
    Sewell too fat for ILB. Georgia coaches are dumb just like yours. They only win because they get way more talent than most of the teams they play.

    Who?

    Acknowledge we didn’t drop Herbig or die.
    If they wanted him. They would've brought him in for an OV. We'll never know why they didn't. Kid was in love with UW.
    How do you know he didn't turn down an OV to Seattle to go to Madison instead? He visited the Badgers the same weekend as St Pete's Day Massacre.
    Because UW has another big OV visit weekend this weekend. Duh. They were in position to get his last OV before he made a decision if they wanted to. They took themselves out of the race for whatever reason. We'll never know why.
    So either he turned them down on an OV visit on the 6/7 weekend or he was planning to visit the 6/21 weekend. Either way, he ended up committing to Wisconsin and a week later we're about to offer Bruener who is probably the next ILB on our board after Herbig came off. This theory makes way more sense than your "we cooled on him cause we're not taking any ILBs this class" theory.
    I was wrong about not taking any ILB's this class. I will concede that.

    Herbig said himself that he was for sure taking an OV to UW back in March and yet it was never scheduled. He didn't turn them down. If he had scheduled an OV with them for 6/7 or 6/22, we would have heard about it. UW didn't offer to visit him when it was obvious they needed to.

    Nobody knows everything that goes on behind the scenes. The kid could have posted something on snapchat that was dumb and got his offer pulled from UW. We don't know. But common sense says UW was enough of a favorite to get an OV if they wanted one before he made his decision.
    This will be my last post on this topic as I have no interest going around in circles for 10 pages with you. You're right that we don't know what's going on behind the scenes but the most obvious and clear sign that we missed on him is right in front of us. Herbig committed to Wisconsin and a week later we're offering Bruener. Even a retard like Eklund can connect the dots here.
    Bruener could have been in line for an offer this Summer regardless of Herbig's commitment to Wisconsin tho. We don't know with 100% certainty the two are related.
    This lesson in coincidences brought to you by the purveyor of the idea that "100% chance Cristobal had Shipley announce to reduce impact of Rosengarten" based solely on the timing.
    One guy could be a coincidence. But three is a pattern.
    One event occurring at similar time to two unrelated events in a different program= THREE and a pattern.

    Three events logically leading directly to a fourth event= coincidence we don't know whats happening behind the scenes.
    I am not sure how Faaope was to cushion the blow either. Rosengarten was still being recruited and in play.

    I'm not worried if we sign any ILBs this year... because Bob Gregory, one of the shittiest recruiters in the entire conference, is going to sign four of the best ILBs on the west coast next year. Ballz told me so.

    Once again... Bob Gregory and Pete Kwiatkowski's recruiting is preventing this program from being elite.


    Lol.

    Browning and the offense has prevented the prgram from being elite. The defense has been good enough for 3 straight years, especially when healthy.

    This is grade A TBS delusion. No one is saying they cant recruit better, but Browning, the play calling, and field goal kicking are way bigger issues
    That's why I used the word 'elite', dude. Our defense has been pretty damned good... certainly good enough to be the best in a dogshit conference. But I guess you weren't watching the Fiesta Bowel when Penn State converted third down after fucking third down and we couldn't get any pressure on the QB. Or the Rose Bowel, when Haskins did the same to us for the first three quarters. We can continue to be the best in our horse shit conference with little to no pass rush... but with a strong outside rush, plus what Lake gives us in the back, combined with how Malloe's been recruiting the DL lately... it allow us to actually beat blue blood teams.

    And yeah, or course Browning and Pete's shitty mensa offense are a huge issue too. But they can all be issues, can they not? And since this is the recruiting board, and it's a discussion about LB recruiting, it seemed like the most appropriate place to bring it up. If you want to start a thread about how shitty Browning was and how fucked our field goal kicking was... then by all means, have at it. I won't disagree.

    Jesus. You said the biggest issue with the program is Gregory and Kwat recruiting. Which is wrong.

    Yes the defense didnt play it's best in the Fiesta Bowl. The offense NEVER helps them out in big games. Defense played good enough to win Peach Bowl and Rose Bowl but the offense completely shit itself
    If the offense can’t score more than 24-28 points in games like those, we? don’t deserve to win

    Are we sure he isn’t gonna grow his way out of playing inside?
