If Sark was *really* doing better recruiting as time passed at UW, shouldn't we be seeing a flood of NFL draft picks this year?

Checking Sark's wiki page as a guide, it seems he peaked in 2011 and 2012 at 6 each, 2013 fell to 3 and I don't see a lot of candidates for 2014.

    I give Sark a little credit recruiting wise, it would be completely ignorant to say he didn't bring in some talent.

    However, his ability to develop some of these players is absolutely PATHETIC and basically completely destroys any credit he gets recruiting.

    "Yawn." We have all talked about it many times that Sark inherited some pretty good talent. To be fair, this is only the second year Sark's recruits have had a chance to go pro. There will be a decent amount in the next few years. I don't think anyone would dispute that Sark brought in some pretty good players during his time. Despite his fuck ups, he did recruit better than his predecessors. The talent was pretty good last year and looks good this year.

    Sark's a good recruiter (everyone says so!) in that he was above average at getting the players he really went after.

    Sark's a shitty recruiter in that he was terrible at going after the players he really needed.

    Abundance.

    The problem is during this stretch Sark has produced only one OL who was drafted in the NFL and that was an OL he didn't recruit. There isn't one OL that you can say with certainty that will be drafted in the NFL.

    That is where he failed. Five years of coaching= 1 OL drafted.

    Five years of recruiting= possibly ZERO OL drafted. Pathetic!

    Sark's biggest faults as a recruiter (in no particular order):

    1) Terrible relationships in-state w/ both coaches and parents who both saw right through his Dude Brah

    2) Belief in himself that he could out scheme his opposition and as such high quality OL recruiting was unnecessary

    3) General player development was far behind other teams in the conference ... for example, how much better was Keith Price as a senior than he was as a sophomore?

    It's almost like the longer he was here the worse he got...

    You could see immediate improvement with Jake driven by the fact that he hadn't had really any QB coaching up until that point. But, you also saw a plateauing in Jake in 2010 as well.

    When RoadDawg and Boobs were arguing Price the other day then RoadDawg posted a link to 2010 I forgot how good Jesse Callier was.

    Funny that in a podcast in 2010 Race Bannon(RIP) said that too. He was like "Look at Callier he looks really good, I can't wait until three years from now when Doogs are saying bench him! Put in new recruit X who is better".

    Callier is just one of many examples of that.

    Seriously sad that there is no OL who will be drafted among this group. How the fuck do you fail so badly on probably the second most important position group on the team and for sure on offense?
