    I LOVE Malloe but is anyone else concerned Malloe only seems to recruit Polys well? He struck out this year so far.... im guessing Princely is not taking that last OV visit here with this offer and we lost steam on Stephon Wright last year.

    I’m so perplexed by the defensive coaches’ recruiting this class.

    After a near epic/elite 2019 class on all three levels, it seemed like every coach mailed it in this year (Smalls notwithstanding) and was just like, “Nah, fuck it, we’ll let the offensive side of the ball have their year.”

    Malloe has signed zero.

    Gregory got two DDY1s.

    Lake/Harris did OK, but not good or great.

    Kwat of all coaches signed the best player in the class.

    Weird, weird, weird year. Ready for 2019-20 to be over.
    Carson Bruener isn't a DDY1, FOH.

    DDY hisself said this about him:

    So, we just started following this kid - but he was first time all KingCo (I know, I know) as a sophomore.

    Watch his hudl you idiots, the kid is a beast. If this were senior film I would be convinced he was worth a scholly, but this is sophomore film. Crazy closing speed. Great feet, a lot of power.

    His RB film is better than Rich Newton's.

    And lest you say "that was two years ago, things change", here's what DDY said when he committed:

    Giving all the credit to recruiting coaches is so FS. If you really think Smalls is coming to UW because of Kwat, you’re an idiot.
    Wait wat??? Kawasaki was not responsible for getting smalls?

    I love Bruener’s tape. I think he’ll be a solid option in three years, and I’m glad we took him.

    But as a legacy recruit and WA native, it was a layup signing.

    Whatever. I like this Togai’s film. Just wish we offered sooner and didn’t whiff on our first four targets.

    Just get him signed. That we don't have any dl signings yet is still a huge pockmark on Malloe, who I love.

    I'm fine with saying he's a layup.

    I'm not at all fine with calling him a DDY1.

    "Yeah, they offered me," Rigby (Id.) DL Tanoa Togiai told Dawgman.com. "It's crazy. I am way excited about it!"

    The Huskies join several schools that have already offered, including Utah, Nebraska, Kansas State, UCLA, Virginia, BYU and Colorado.

    "They talked to me a while ago then and then I didn’t hear from them for a while, but they just started keeping in touch with me again recently," Togiai said. "Coach (Ikaika) Malloe is the coach that offered me and he said their recruiting process is a lot different than other schools and they said that’s why it took so long to offer."

    Now that the Huskies have offered, Togiai, who has already visited Utah, Nebraska and Kansas State, plans to visit Washington later this month.

    "They want me to come up on the 24th," Togiai said.

    With one more visit, Togiai said he's still keeping his options open and may take his fifth and final visit before making his decision on Signing Day (February 5th).

    Can’t believe they tell kids this. He was offered late because he is/was probably our 8th option. When the first seven said no, you got your offer.
    Lying to recruits is a good start for the Lake Era. Gotta play the game
    They’ve been doing the “we do things different” shtick since Pete.

    Bruener is going to be good. I don’t like DDY saying he’s the Sam/will version of Tuputala. Bruner is quite a bit better.

    This kid's offer list is more in line with the players we were taking during the 2014-2016 stretch. At this point Princely is a longshot so I guess he's our last option. Better than getting no one I suppose.

    True, but I don't think this board would be that excited today if we signed 3* Gaines or Vita.

    Vita was originally a 4* but dropped in the rankings due to grades. Given his tape, everyone knew he was a steal.

    Dude we either take 0 DT or a war daddy line gains or vita. I would want a vita, but would not complain that we got gains. Both were great

    Agree, but the last time Malloe got shut out he went on a 2 year bender where we pulled nearly every 4 star on the west coast. I've been telling myself 2019 was just Malloe hyping himself up for another 2 year monster run that includes JTT.

    This is UW brilliance. Get Tanoa on board and with Timmy Togiai leaves Ohio State UW is gonna be the destination.

    Yeah, his highlight video was posted here when he arrived and everyone was in agreement that he was really good. He still turned out even better than expected.

    Disagree. Anyone could see how good Gaines already was as a high schooler, and Vea just looked like a huge, freaky athlete. We're all schooled enough at tbsing here to recognize the qualities they had.

    I remember people excited for Vita. I also remember people thinking Gaines looked really goofy.

    Two of those three wouldn’t have gotten a sniff from Pete in later years.

    Vita signed because of need. Obviously he had the talent, but Pete wouldn’t have recruited him because of grades.

    Someone here called Gaines the best player in his recruiting class. He was pretty close to being right.

    The goofy looks were part of the package.

    If we recruited the Hail Mary that was Ali Gaye I am sure they would have recruited Vita on a year nobody wants to come here. We take years off recruiting the DLine and then have to sign everyone. We should stop that.
