Odds of Tre’Shaun Harrison transferring to UW?

Agree. Would’ve been Barry Sanders 2.0.Tequilla said:
Lowe was another guy that I didn’t like his WR film as much as I liked him at RBAtomicDawg said:
He could have been recruited to do all the same things trey Lowe would do. But we felt it necessary to give that opportunity to the midget who quit.Tequilla said:
Show me the evidence that says he will be an assured difference maker ...backthepack said:Lol ok teq!
As someone else pointed out, his numbers so far are pedestrian and largely accumulated against the type of schools that we chide guys like Fuller and Opera Singer for doing well against.
He’s clearly a solid athlete and has a chance to be a good player.
When he was in HS and it became clear he wanted to be a WR, I didn’t see it on his film. He looked like a good RB and could have been special as a S ...
I’d be much more interested if coming to UW meant that he was spending his transfer year learning the S position
Due to our lack of playmakers on offense in the years leading up to his class it was stupid to not offer him.
Not saying he will be amazing so don’t twist. But yes we should make room for him should he want to come. We don’t seem to be closing that great so it could be a blessing. -
I only don’t want him so people will finally STFU about the Jordan Polk/mickens/Chico midget WR role.

Luckily he’s not a midget, but I get irrationally mad when people talk about the Chico role as if it’s vital we have someone like that. How about just signing good RB’s and good WR’s?Houhusky said:I only don’t want him so people will finally STFU about the Jordan Polk/mickens/Chico midget WR role.

THIS! THERE WE GO ROADIE!RoadDawg55 said:Changed my opinion. Bring him in. He has talent. He’s made some plays at FSU in a bad situation. Same age as Spiker and Osborne.
Agree with Teq that he might not be great, but if he progresses he might end up pretty good. Having a guy that can catch 30-40 passes a year and has big play potential is absolutely worth a scholly. -
Yeah but the thing is Tre is 6”1 and runs a 4.3 lol.RoadDawg55 said:

Everybody always thinks that people are going to go pro or transfer out of the programNeighbor2972 said:Yeah like obviously a transfer receiver isn't guaranteed to fix all of our problems, he wouldn't be transferring otherwise. He's worth a shot, and if we get the attrition we are expecting we will have plenty of room.
Most years people over-estimate the numbers
We will see after this weekend what we start hearing
My general sense is that any attrition allows for larger upcoming classes -
Never said that we treat it differently than a lot of other schoolscreepycoug said:

Good lord. It's like you have no idea what the Washington I attended was like.Tequilla said:It does no good to take a student athlete that will not be successful in the classroom at UW ... it’s essentially ensuring attrition
That said we have strong education support in place ... so we shouldn’t be passing on kids just because they need the support either
It’s a delicate line to walk ...
But if a kid essentially tells us he isn’t here to play school ... that’s largely a pass for me
They are two different things entirely.
The last Rose Bowl winning team at Washington was loaded with kids who were not there to play school.
Washington started becoming soft the second they started acting like a poor man's Cal.
If you want to be elite in football, you have to be flexible on this point. There are great players who are good students and a whole bunch more who aren't.
Washington ain't gonna get them all, so you do the maff.
I’m not suggesting in any way that every player needs to be a Dean’s List candidate
What I am saying is that today’s UW isn’t going to look favorably of having news stories out there like Jerramy Stevens driving through people’s homes, guys running around assaulting people, or sexual assault. They also aren’t going to allow for any kind of narrative that suggests that players are being used for their athletic ability and that we don’t care about their education.
Basically, all the scummy shit that Oregon does are things we won’t do
You are so naive it's not even funny.
UW didn't look favorably on those things back then either. Gerberding hated all the shit that was going on in the football program. Tad Foote III hated everything about Miami football. I'm sure that the University of Chicago educated president of the University of Oregon isn't exactly down with the shady side of big time football. All university presidents hate big time sports.
UW isn't special in this regard. You just tell yourself that because it makes you feel more important than someone who went to school at Oregon or WSU or Arizona. You're not.
But still ....
Oregon has sold out to Nike ... that’s publicly written at this point
When UW has historically gotten out of balance in this regard, upper campus has made course corrections to recalibrate ... see Tyrone

UW doesn’t have the Upper campus infrastructure, support, or local culture to play the same dirty game better than other schools.
UW instead should play the game it can play the best.
I agree with the sentiment, even though it might not be entirely applicable in this situation. -
In fairness, I probably could have said what I meant better
When UW gets out of line it’s not necessarily in reference to paying players ... although it has clearly happened in the past
What I was referencing was more when the Athletic Dept delivers bad publicity to the University as a whole -
