Sterk made me flaccid. Helms does not but may end up making me stiff. Or not. Either way....

Agree. I dont hate Heims as a recruit. Just like I dont hate Wyrsch or McCutcheon or Tsion Nunnally. I hate them in the context of this recruiting class. They represent us losing out on our top tier guys where we were recruiting against our biggest rivals and then moving down the list so we can get some easy recruiting victories against schools like Colorado and Arizona and Fresno State. We shouldnt be doing that in June and we shouldnt be doing that for our entire class.Baseman said:Helms is a lottery ticket. He's a far better athlete than the kid that just committed to OU and has a higher upside than Summerville.
Helms is no Kyler Manu and could end up a dominating all conference player or he could Bryce Sterk and transfer to Montana. -
So he sucks until he don’t suck? Is dat wut you’re saying?Baseman said:Helms is a lottery ticket. He's a far better athlete than the kid that just committed to OU and has a higher upside than Summerville.

I think it's good to take one, maybe two, of these high-ceiling project-types per recruiting class. Maybe a third of these guys pan out. Those who don't? No biggie, just couchsale them to Bozeman.
The problems start when super-raw project-types make up a substantial portion your roster. Next thing you know, Talia fucking Crichton is starting on your D-line, and your HC always looks hungover. -

Did a short interview with Doogpound. Says besides UW, Illinois, Penn St. and Colorado are recruiting him the hardest. I know we joke about Illinois but his Penn St. offer probably isn't committable right now and Colorado has a new coach. We should be able to land this guy. @sonics1993 - Is this guy an automatic take?
The difference is Heims has been a target since the get go pretty much. Even if we were doing well recruiting he was a take. Dyson and others were takes because of missing early targets.bananasnblondes said:

Not at all. This is no Atoe or Skyler Fancher. Helms is an amazing talent. IDGAF if it's a JV tape. Then again, it is a JV tape. I'd rather have the upside with Helms than Summerville, a waster scholarship or an Arizona level end.Bonedog said:

Look. I think there will be one or two major surprises in this class that we look back and say, 'fuck, how did those guys fly under the radar?' That said, clearly we are getting our dick kicked so far with the high profile kids.
I really like Moore. I like the raw OL and I like Helms. ATBSBGFS -
Did we win yet?

We've got smoked this offseason. Bad. Owen Twelve Oklahoma level bad.GrundleStiltzkin said:Did we win yet?

Wait... we’re gonna sign someone who didn’t make his HS varsity team? Am I reading this correctly?
Admittedly I’ve only scanned this thread because who cares. -
He transferred over from Germany and wasn’t allowed to play varsity due to the late transfer. He camped and got an offer from Penn State who saw him in person.doogville said:Wait... we’re gonna sign someone who didn’t make his HS varsity team? Am I reading this correctly?

You can reference me as the soccer superiority guy. It was kinda my thing for a long time and now I’m just balding with a beer gut and skinny legs.GrundleStiltzkin said:

Yeaaaa, I want to be happy about this one but just not happening. Hopefully he kills qb’s in a few yrs.doogville said:Wait... we’re gonna sign someone who didn’t make his HS varsity team? Am I reading this correctly?

Now that Tosh has some NFL experience maybe Lake will bring him back to the staffBaseman said:

Buck room next year will be Latu, Trice, Smalls and Heims. Coach K has a lot of talent to work with.

I desperately want to believe the narrative that we're fucking up because of Corona and we'll finish out the class stronger, then continue on recruiting like we have the past few years.
We have enough talent currently to absorb mostly high upside project types filling out a good portion of this class. If we hit on a majority of em, and they're good players for us in 3 years, we'll be fine. But ONLY if this is just a hiccup. What we absolutely can't have is this trend continuing at this time next year and we're faced with having 2 straight classes of 3 star projects. That is precisely when it starts catching up to you and by then, you're already fucked.
This needs to change and change QUICKLY. Before our roster is at the point of no return. Pull your fucking head out, Jimmy! The dooks are coasting to an off-season natty and we're staring an off-season Owen right in the eyes.
There's honestly nothing I can point to right now to argue that Jimmy's not completely in over his head. Fuck me. -
What about ZTF?sonics1993 said:Buck room next year will be Latu, Trice, Smalls and Heims. Coach K has a lot of talent to work with.

Joe Tryon? Bueller? He isn't necessarily going pro. However, if he wants to reap and rape souls and go in the first 2 rounds, I'd allow it.KrunkJuice said:

Your last point is the most concerning and one I'm sharing ...DugtheDoog said:I desperately want to believe the narrative that we're fucking up because of Corona and we'll finish out the class stronger, then continue on recruiting like we have the past few years.

Jimmy gets the job and goes out to midcourt at a UW/Oregon hoops game and talks a big game ... good for him.
But I'm a broken record when it comes to actions being far more important than words ...
And at this point, Jimmy is a bunch of words as a HC and not a lot of action.
If you can't back up your talk ... you pretty much get your shit on at one point or another. -
This guy coulda been the next Manuel Neuer, and instead he’s going to play for our shitty football team. Not much of a thinker.

I hope he likes our nazi uniforms

Heims detailed several reasons why he chose the Huskies.
“Washington felt like home for me,” Heims said. “I never had a chance to visit but doing the zoom calls and virtual tours, I got a really good feel for what the school was all about and it reminded me so much of Hamburg, Germany, where I’m from.
“It’s a beautiful place with the lake running right up in to the stadium and all the trees and water everywhere. That’s what I’m comfortable with and I can’t wait to get out there and visit and see the school close up for the first time to get an even better feel for everything.”
Heims said he connected really well with the coaching staff too.
“I really like Coach K (Kwiatkowski) a lot,” Heims said. “He was the coach who offered me back in January and we have developed a great relationship ever since. I also talk a lot with coach Terrence Brown, who recruits my area and I like the direction the program is going under coach Lake.”
Scheme fit was another plus for Heims.
“I like the defense and their plan for me,” Heims said. “They want me rushing the quarterback and coming off the edge and that’s what I love to do. They like my frame and my athleticism and feel I can be a real impact player for them.
“They can move me around but mostly want me off the edge and I’m really excited about it. This was definitely a family decision. My entire family is excited for me and will be out there with me as well. Academically, it’s a great fit as well. Washington is one of the top academic schools in the country so it was really a great all around fit in every way.”
As for the timing of his decision, Heims said he had no reservations about committing early in the process before taking a lot of his visits and without even seeing UW up close.
“It was important for me to commit in the summer,” Heims said. “I wanted to focus on taking care of my academics and staying on top of that. I also want to be able to concentrate on our football team at SM this fall and not have to worry about recruiting any more.
“I know it’s early but the way I looked at it, there wasn’t a school that was ever going to be a better fit then Washington. I could have waited until December and I wouldn’t have found a school that offered everything UW did. The more I thought about it, the more I realized there was no need to put it off and I’m very excited and happy to be a Husky.” -
