    It seems like a clear case of abundance

    Liked what Oregon was selling better

    May not have been exactly what we wanted

    Good for both sides

    He was initially in love with UW over Oregon. But then Oregon showed him way more love and made him feel way more wanted than UW has so of course he likes what they're selling more. Oregon didn't out-recruit UW. Their plan A guy is our plan B guy.

    That is literally an example of Oregon out recruiting Washington.
    That's not out-recruiting. Out-recruiting is when both schools have a recruit at a top, plan-A target and one wins over the other. Roger Rosengarten is UW out-recruiting Oregon. UW conceded Wilson to Oregon because he's a back burner guy for us. Had UW recruited Wilson like they recruited Rosengarten, he'd probably already be committed to UW.

    Just a tip which I'm sure you'll ignore. You should couch your posts more as this is "what I think", rather than "what I know". Intelligent people on here understand that all this shit is 99.9% speculation rather than information so portraying yourself in a way that's "in the know" just makes you look stupid. And I'm pretty confident you're not in the 0.1% group. Carry on.
    I shouldn't have to constantly type "I think". Nobody else here does.

    You don't have to be in the 0.1% group to do deductive reasoning or think logically. It was obvious this whole time Wilson wasn't a top WR target for UW. No visit in the Spring. No visit in the Summer. No OV scheduled for the fall. If you use your brain, you can have a pretty good idea of who our top targets actually are. It's not hard to follow. Doogs just wanted to ignore those obvious signs because of his size and star rating. You all loved it when I said with certainty that Rosengarten was coming here. But you hated it when I said with certainty that Wilson is not. I was right about both. Don't be hypocrites.

    How is the best WR talent outside of Ngata and since Reggie a Plan B. We’re not trying to abort this mf are we?

    Lol he's not even close to being that good. He's massively overrated.

    No. We have multiple people in the know, including an explicit quote from Biggins, saying Wilson cooled on us. That's not gonna stop Ballz from running victory laps the wrong direction on the track or Tequila from interjecting with some confused bullshit about how it's a good thing Oregon may nab a 5 star WR. He's not a plan B, we just lost the recruiting battle.
    My point is there is really almost never "in the know" with young kids like this. Mostly because most of them don't know from day to day what they are doing. Yeah Biggins might get a quote from them on a Monday and they feel totally different on Tuesday. That's why paying any of these people is just burning good money. Sure anyone can narrow it down to 3 or 4 teams and it's all fun to talk about, but in the know? Not so much.

    Greg Biggins is not in the fucking know about UW recruiting and he's an idiot. The UW coaching staff has stopped dropping intel to the 247 guys and they are salty about it. Roof is the only recruinik who gets intel from the coaches and she has known Wilson was not being heavily pursued by UW as a plan A guy for a long time.

    The kid just told you out of his own fucking mouth that UW is not recruiting him as hard as Oregon and Texas and Coach Adams told him he wants to see more from him in terms of his physicality and aggressiveness his Senior year before going all in on him. That's out of the kid's mouth you fucking idiot. It's not speculation and you no longer have to consider secondary "sources" when it's coming straight from the kid.

    Take the fucking L.

    like Roger Rosengarten

    I'm not nearly as adamant as balllllz, but do people really thinks Adams is trying his hardest to recruit someone when he tells them he needs to see more edge in his play? Pretty sure Adams didn't sell Jalen or Puka that way. "I know I can [play with more edge], I have that in me. So hopefully I’ll be able to visit there officially during the season as well." It actually kinda does sound like we want to see more out of him before we invite him up for an official. At least that's my read on it.

    Gee Scott plays with edge.

    And oh btw remember when you guys bashed Eklund for saying Bishop Sankey wasn’t tough enough to warrant recruiting attention until he committed and he was “All Dawg”?


    Not saying that it’s the equivalent I’m just flashing a mirror real quick to see if that’s the road you wanna be sold on for why he’s not coming here.
