    What makes a great recruiter anyway. Seems like most of the great recruiters carry a bad reputation from the lazy types like Pete. Rick comes to mind. Urban. Saban.

    Again, we aren't bashing Mario for what he is doing, at least I'm not. We're hoping we do more of the aggressive shit that makes Jimmy hated

    The big complaint on Pete is that he whined about poaching and then poached a three star from Oregon State which many ducks reading this partook in

    The humanity

    Nobody is bashing Mario. As Ive been saying on twitter, he knows how not to crash the Ferrari. That doesnt make him a great coach though, which a lot of quooks can’t wrap their heads around. Neuheisel got 10 wins and a Rose Bowl with some good players and nobody out here is calling him a great coach. I would say Mario recruits better on the lines, but UW took Oregons lunch money on D line last year and O Line this year so Im gonna LIPO.
    Eh, I'd say some/many of you fit into Race's group. And I say that because I've known those posters for years.

    There is also some doogy whining and sour grapes lurking around too and it's not hard to see. This isn't a unified take. The "Washington does it the right way" and "Washington plays with class" crowd of morons are never very far away. Even Wilberhooks, who is not a doog, had a Freudian "get your hands dirty with Oregon" comment in an otherwise good post. You're either breaking the rules or you're not. Period. Recruiting is used car salesmanship. All manner of shit gets said, you'd better believe your slick new smart ass coach who clearly knows how to run his mouth will say things to deliver the goods that might not make you proud.

    Don't kid yourself; that line of narrative is skrong, particularly in the PNW. For some reason, USC gets a pass up here on pretty much everything. Maybe that's connected to the respect thing. I don't know.

    The one good point creepy makes and it may be the only one he has ever made is that most of us? were convinced of the decisive schematic advantage that Pete would have over Meat on gamed ay

    That turned out to be not the case. You're right that making the Rose Bowl in year 2 is not a guarantee of success. As we know

    Mario drops the next two to UW and UW wins the league the whole conversation changes again

    We REALLY need Jimmy to be the guy and we are a few years away from knowing

    Recruiting is a good start
    2021 recruiting is yuge for so many reasons. Jimmy has the opportunity to get a top 10 class rather easily.
