Recruiting

So, yeah, shit is weird. The coaches have doubled down on their "process." They think they have it all figured out. Maybe they do? Quite honestly, I'm really intrigued by the athleticism these low/no-rated kids have.

Let's be real, though, and get down to brass tacks. This class all comes down to JTT and EE.

Losing Troy was a gut punch. Losing Prentice would suck. Close JTT and EE, and suddenly our no names become a lot more interesting.

If the big two end up elsewhere, pour gas on the whole program, add in a few truckloads of used tires, toss and match and let it burn

Either way....

    Do the rumors of coaches/players still being in contact with Troy mean anything?

    “Hey Troy you still a duck?”

    “Yes jimmy I am”

    “Okay cool I’ll check back in a few weeks”

    “....okay”

    That’s it in a nutshell.

    The best recruiters pretend the player hasn't committed and continue contacting them, daily, often.

    How's life? Family? X's and O's. Donovan's new scheme. What's on Netflix.

    The kids always say I have "a great relationship" with this coach, or that coach. Until the kid says, "fuck off Im solid elsewhere," the staff keeps working the player, trying forge a stronger bond. If the other school slips on the field, takes the player for granted, shows another player more attention -- make the move.

    Junior is on it...Don't think he gets him but not for lack of effort.

    So how did Junior lose Troy? Between Troy's relationship with Junior and Sam, was it all because Pete left and Jimmy hired Donovan? Notwithstanding the fact that Whoregon coaches actually know and like recruiting.

    Also what is the "process" you're referring to regarding the coaches "strategy" with this class?

    TYFYS.

    The bored is well documented for hating coaches so whatever. I'm willing to give him a game or two and a class or two mainly because Petersen pissed me off so much

    I also think Lake will succeed for no apparent reason. It would be the same if I thought he was going to fail.

    I'm comfortable with the fact that most of you hated Petersen recruiting until it was gone.

    Carry on

    Not sure I buy the ‘it turned on a dime’ line. Its more that they were wrong in the first place, but wanted to provide content and act important. They’re a bunch of turds!

    Has nothing to do with the Donovan hire. After the UW limp dicked against Standford, Cal and Colorado I'd take a "wait and see" attitude as a 'croot as well.

    If we're allowed to take off our purple tinted glassed for a bit the reality it's not a single season think. The 2018 squad was pretty pussified.

    What does USC's next coach have to do with anything?

    I don't think Junior lost Troy. Hiring Donovan and UW's recruiting on a continuum approach did.

    Process? Since Pete came, the recruiting strategy centers on getting players on campus (the later the better) before putting the hard sell on. Also, UW will take a kid, regardless of rating, based on their evaluation, not a player's TBS ranking.

    No doubt in my mind, Wysth, the new Renton kid and the JV wonder, in particular would have seen their stock skyrocket participating in the spring summer camps. No go with Covid.

    Strange tims.

    On another note, the bored's Duck traffic is cataclysmic. Also, hearing from a good source subscriptions have never been higher.
    Thanks for this.

    Yeah, I guess I was/am wondering if Jimmy and staff have a different process this year (new coach, new staff) than Pete. Other than shitting the bed that is. But it sounds pretty copy/pasta from Pete's time.
