Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

One of my favorite quotes from Petersen's presser today.

On interior DL Greg Gaines: "Some of these guys, I gotta back up. Coming over here, everyone is into this star-rating thing. And I'm blown away. I don't know how you give these kids stars, and some of these other kids not stars. But I know Greg Gaines is one of those guys that shut down his recruiting extremely early when we got him at boise. Then he decided to come here, and he had everyone in the country calling him. Had he taken a few of these visits his stars would've changed. He's tough, he's over 300 pounds. They played him at running back."

    I like his quote about developing the guys. Haven't seen that in awhile.

    That sounds like a good DL to me

    I gotta admit I've watched highlight videos of most of the recruits. I thought this guy's was the best out of the whole class. He's badass...big, quick and a wrecking ball. He's gonna be good.

    Can he play receiver?

    this is why you flirted with the top 5 poasters' list

    Praying. I'd settle for "clogging the middle." Me thinks Danny Shelton has a protege.

    The kid is already 300 pounds. He won't be bringing any heat from the edge.

    I love a coach who gives the finger to Doogman in such fashion.

    Fuck Peterman. I want stars.

    It's a proven formula: more stars = more wins.

    Yeah, you have to develop them and call a good game and get some good game strategery but overall, the regression line shows a tight fit between stars and titles.

    Let the Mountain West take the OKGs. I want killers.

    He didn't say he would not take star laden recruits

    As with any class the true value/ranking won't really be known for a couple years when we see how they actually develop them. I'd guess that in 2-3 years this class probably ends up being of more value on the field than any of Sarks did.

    Not needed. I out-parody'd you!

    Mine was a parody of so many that I cannot attribute it to one poaster.

    careful there fuck face. I don't take kindly to your use of "creep" in connection with fatters and shorty.

    pick another word please.

    thanks.

    Nice false dichotomy you have there.

    Given like 6 weeks to work with Petersen pulled in a much better class than he ever had at Boise. He had way more 4 stars than he ever had, fewer 2 stars, and pulled easily his highest rated recruit ever. The idea that he's going to recruit the same caliber of athlete he did at Boise was debunked in the time it takes Vanilla to implement next day site changes.

    Yes, classes full of stars are usually better than classes that aren't. But there's also lowly rated guys who have plenty of talent. The Seahawks just finished loudly proclaiming what happens when you can outscout and outdevelop everybody else, and wouldn't you know it, Petersen has consistently displayed the ability to both scout well and develop well. Now he's at a place where he's already displayed the ability to beat other schools out for guys he couldn't get at Boise. UW may never have top 10 classes under Petersen (though I'm not convinced this is true), but we should always have above average classes that play way up thanks to superior scouting and development.

    why do you hate stars my sweet caroline?

    I thought we were historically on the same page with this one.

    I want stars. Simple as that. Is it that hard to do? I'll give him a pass this year. 6 weeks isn't a lot of time, even if you are a big name like he is.

    but next year, I want stars. not getting that at boise state is understandable. now he has the name, the facilities, the conference platform, the cool shiny new unis, the green non-homo turf, the whole package.

    no excuses. I want to out-star the conference.

    I'm with you completely when the coach in question has not demonstrated a superior eye for talent. When Ty, Sark, and Gilby brought in a two star OL and proclaimed he would be a top 5 pick, he played like a 2 star OL. Maybe I'm overly confident in Petersen's abilities, but I expect him to be able to actually coach recruits up.

    If he is bringing in more 2 stars than 4 stars I'll be disappointed and worried. I'll also be very surprised. My guess is he brings in classes with roughly a 3.5 star average and only a couple 2 star kids per year. But I'll have actual expectations for his 2 stars as well.

  • would be cool if Petersen had open practices I really hope we can get a look at him in spring ball

    I just went over to the Gay Bath House (DMc), and figured out that we pretty much never pull anything near a 3.5 average star ranking. If he does that, he will be the best recruiter we have had since stars came into existence.
