    Fact is, the battle was waged and Sark won... if we aren't going to keep score, why count stars and award recruiting trophies?

    USC has recruited higher rated players than the UW for 50 years, and always will. What a riduculous comparison.

    The UW did better than USC on the field sometimes, by developing players better. But USC has always had better raw material in terms of recruiting players. It has nothing to do with Sark. Kiffin also outrecruited Sark when it was USC versus UW. The comparison between schools is almost meaningless.

    Sark is a good recruiter though. That is also not the issue. The problem is that he does not develop players well. We will see the difference in 2-4 years. Petersen's lower ranked recruits will be beating Sark's top 10 recruiting class in 2-4 years.

    I think it's your responsibility to provide Star stats on the last 50 years of recruiting classes before making these incredible claims.

    I saw this article on stars. Does a decent job summarizing. 5 stars give you 40-50% chance of getting to the NFL. That's pretty good. The rest is a crapshoot.

    Until somebody can tell me how many recruiting stars John Wayne had before he starred at USC, I say all star ratings have to suck for credibility. Anything goes in Hollywood.

    Really? I don't think so, because anyone who knows squat about college recruiting and the PAC12 knows that USC has the easiest job of recruiting due to location, and pedigree.

    So no, I don't have to prove that USC has generally recruited better than everyone else in the PAC12 for decades, because it is common knowledge. Except for a few years around the NC, even DJ had to beat USC with lesser talented raw material, and he often did.

    So if you want to prove me wrong, give it a shot. BTW, there have not been stars for 50 years. I said USCs players were more highly rated.

    Knock yourself out, and learn something in the process. Here is the last 12 years. Show us all how many times the UW had a better recruiting class than USC, and for that matter when anyone in the PAC12 had a better recruiting class than USC. UCLA does occasionally, and while USC has had sanctions they have not done as well so Stanford has also challenged.

    But educate yourself even with recent history, then if you still insist on being stupid, we can go back further in history.

    Sark whatever - year by year, do some homework before shooting off your mouth.

    In the olden days when Race was young, they wrote letters that got delivered by the Post Office. And they read newspapers with stories about HS kids written by reporters. Nobody had any idea what was going on in other parts of the country. They had to use telephones plugged into the wall and call the operator to call long distance. I don't know how they did it.

    You may want to stop posting for awhile until you get a feel for this place. If you need a hand, just PM Irish doog, he has this place dialed in.

    Nice try at avoiding everything I said which shows you to be ignorant.

    I have been posting here for 13 months. I have a feel for this place, and dumb shits like you are part of the feel.

    Now I'm thinking you should REALLY check out your health insurance coverage and find a counselor and some meds for your depression.
