The offensive class is elite: - There are three elite offensive linemen, another 4* OL who is only a short notch below those three, and a nice 3* tackle project added late for a good measure. - There are two elite WR, one of whom is a 5* prospect by any objective measure other than his actual * ranking, and one who is a really rare combo of size and speed. A third, huge and physical WR is coming off of ACL surgery. - There is one elite TE and one project TE. - The QB, Garbers, shouldn't be dismissed. He has decent size and arm talent and above average mobility and toughness. At a minimum he's a talented and capable backup with the tools to step in and win a tough game. - Running back...meh but Sunday should be a useful part of a RB committee with his strength.
Yes, defensive recruiting fails to measure up. It's not a void though. There's some star fucking going on when it comes to the defensive backs otherwise people would be more excited about them. There is an elite edge rusher and at least one solid LB coming in.
The downsides, DL and ILB, can't be ignored but they dont need to be. Its exceedingly rare for a program not in the SEC or named tOSU or USC to recruit elite classes at every position. UW has never done it. Oregon has never done it. All of the hand ringing over a couple of 5* level guys looking at Oregon ignores the fact that those guys, if they even go to Oregon, are surrounded by a class similar to UWs.
End rant. That's a lot to type on my phone.
Too down on Sam Adams but otherwise I'm pretty much with all of this.
I was drawing a blank trying to remember the other RB. Funny. I love Adams too. I think he's a utility back or slot type guy rather than a traditional tail back but hes definitely a good football player.
If they manage to pull said rabbit out of a hat at DL I'll be happy with the class. We get to see between now and February if Montlake Jimmy can do a better job of selling the program than the previous fearless leader.
All these posts and only one mention about linebackers... biggest need this year! How can Oregon possibly be signing two 5* top 10-20 talents at linebacker and we settle for two unknown’s/projects? Sad day for Washington really.
Because Bob Gregory is our LB coach. Jackson Sirmon is the last recruit he pulled in and that was two years ago. It's pathetic and he needs to go but I don't know if Jimmy has the balls to make that call.

If he doesn't then fire him now instead of later.
I hope he's gone after the bowl game but loyalty in the coaching world is hard to break and Bob has been with Jimmy for over eight years so I am not getting my hopes up.

If that's the case, then how is Jimmy not Chris Petersen Part II? Jesus make him the special teams coach if you have to but get a position coach that can recruit.

Caz Pete was too big of a pussy to fire his buddy Gregory,

Cougs call him noballz for a reason. Bob is staying

I want him to go too, but the fishing done on when you give credit to a coach or not for recruiting a player is baffling. Kaho and Heimuli signed. I agree they didn’t come to UW because of Bob Gregory, but he wasn’t a negative influence either. Gregory has gotten quite a few 4 star guys.

I give credit to the lead recruiter. Malloe and PaoPao were the lead recruiter for both guys and Bob occasionally jumped in with the communication. If your making 600k a year, you have to do better and I don't care how well he coaches because college football is 75% recruiting 25% coaching.

You really think Jimmy doesn't have the balls to fire Gregory after the abomination at LB this year and Whoregon signing Sewell and now you're saying Flowe?
No way Jimmy doesn't notice this shit and how Cristo is out-recruiting him. He has to know his holes on staff, especially when he and Malloe have been carrying this entire team's lunch on the recruiting trail the last three years.

He's been with Bob for over eight years, they are good friends, Bob is respected in the coaching community and this is the first year where our LB's were terrible so yeah I can see him getting a pass this year but i'm really hoping i'm wrong.

What's gonna happen @sonics1993 is we will have a bounce back year at the LB position. We have 7 playable guys so only 3 have to be good. We will land Calvert, Simon and Wynden in 2021 and all will be forgotten by Lake.

After missing Herbig and Botelho, I have no faith in him landing those three players.

Oh, and about Bob...

That's why Bob's got to go. Jimmy will do it. In fact, I feel more confident that he'll let Bob go than Bush.
