As far as LB recruiting, Bruener/McDonald projected inside and Smalls/Banks projected outside? Any backup plans at OLB if we whiff on Smalls/Banks?

@sonics1993 bumping up this question since it got lost on the last page.

What’s the point of Will Harris on staff?
Jimmy's replacement when he leaves.

How much longer do you think Lake will be around for?

I think a lot of folks think Eason is gone if he is halfway decent and I was or am one of them. That's what everyone thought about Hebert and he was halfway decent (badda boom) and came back

If you go to the NFL you get paid but you also get thrown in a lot faster than you used to. You can wash out before your rookie deal is up. Two years as a starter could help.

Really don't blame him either way. Just hope he is good enough to be tempted
Or maybe UW is good enough he comes back to take his shot at winning a natty. Dare to doog.
That is a legit possibility.
If Skinny's as good as we* hope, I think he declares after this season.

BTW, I'm pretty sure I passed him on the road a few weeks back. Flashed the Dubs, but he ignored me. NVCSB.

Years ago I was coming off of Airport Way by the Kingdome and some asshole in a jacked up truck was pretty much in my back seat. So I slow down and flip him off and he roars by

It was Randy Johnson

I'm pretty sure the unit was one of the biggest toolbags to grace the Kingdome astroturf during the Ms "big" run in the 90s. "Tanking motherfucker" was reportedly a label he was given by a really good first baseman who's name I can't remember.

If Eason kills it then I expect him to move on. He'll thank everyone for the process but next man up and all that shit.

If he does okay then it's iffy and if he comes back for another year - that year will be exciting for me as a husky fan.

Talent reaching critical levels just needing seasoning... Oh yes.

I would put money up that we take a second QB next year.

Are you Chris Petersen undercover to reign in our wild and reckless behavior that parents of recruits read on these boreds?

Controlling the message just like always, crafty fuckin bastard!

Don't worry about where they are being projected, once they get on campus the coaches will figure out the best spot for them. Right now they just want 4 LB and there are some back up names being recruited but can't mention the names.

To be honest i'm surprised we still have him. Hard to project because you don't know what jobs are going to open up.

@sonics1993 how big of a liability are bob gregory and jordan paopao on the recruiting trail? I know pete will never make a change for gregory but it seems it like both of these coaches miss key guys year in and year out

Jordan is a solid recruiter and has helped out with few commitments no one gives him credit for like Daniel Heimuli, Troy Fautanu and Noa Ngalu. Bob on the other hand is just not a good recruiter but is a excellent coach who knows how to develop guys. And the staff around him can make up for his downfall with recruiting and he can coach them up. Remember we had Ale Kaho who is a 5 star LB and Henry To'o To'o but the parents got in the way.

but it seems both Bob gregory and Pete K have the same weaknesses when it comes to recruiting. Since gregory and coach K coach inside and outside linebackers, wouldn't it have been more logical to have a 10th assistant coach that can help out in recruiting the lb position

Will you be taking your immense talent to Wigwam only status or be available to us cheaper folk? Hope not because it would be the ultimate Doogman move.

Speaking of Bob Gregory, has there been any appreciable change in the way special teams will be coached this year? Gregory still owns the title of special teams coach but is he more or less involved this year? Are other coaches getting more involved?

Cause last year cannot happen ever again.

To play devil's advocate- there are always good excuses for the fish that got away.

Way too many big fish slip off our hooks at LB even with multiple staff members pitching in. Last year it was To'oTo'o the year before Ale this year Botelho and Herbig. All for good reasons but closers give recruits reasons to choose UW and to ignore reasons to go elsewhere.

The staff around Bob has prevented it from being an unmitigated disaster by getting Heimuli among others but the talent at LB still lags the rest of the roster.

Also why hasn't Bob's coaching and development translated to special teams success? Does he just not have enough time to devote or does he not have the knowledge or what?

I expect our coverage teams will be better this year just due to increased depth but our kicking still seems like it could be a huge disaster. And why is Fuller returning punts? Is that CP's decision?
