    Last year wasn't one down year. It was a complete failure at the position.

    Yes everyone produces a bad year now and then. That was miles worse than a bad year.
    Okay...and how is it looking this year?

    One great spot and one bad spot with no reason to be excited about any of the backups.

    Sirmon is not bad. He is average right now with high upside if he can finish plays.

    The backups are all highly rated or had a lot of P5 offers and are legit prospects like Tuputala. How the fuck is there no reason for excitement?

    I mean they haven’t yet shown anything on the field worth getting excited about. I wouldn’t think of referencing recruiting hype in a conversation with you.

    Recruiting absolutely matters. It just isn't the end all be all. Its one ingredient in the successful program recipe to use a 75k analogy

    This is what I can’t get on board with. Let the RS-FR finish the season. Way too early to be saying anything about the back ups. You really think 1 or 2 of the four RS-FR (5 if you count Fowler) wont be good?

    ZTF didn’t do anything until this year and had a hard time getting on the field last year. Myles Rice got a little playing time over him early in the year last year. Guys will develop.
    I stated that I do like the young depth on the roster right now.

    But looking ahead we are already seeing the same process and the same results again that led us to the 2019 debacle in the first place (and could have wrecked any of the previous years with the loss of just one key guy.)

    Bob is starting to stack up the recruiting misses again in 2020 and 2021. What is going to change?

    Gregory blew it in recruiting for a few years. Losing Kaho hurt too although he’s not even that good. It’s been fixed. We have Ulo balling, Sirmon improving and a glut of young guys, some of whom were highly rated but are behind the lowest rated guy in Tup as the backup. Give them a year and get back to me.

    Bob could have been deservedly fired, but thinking he’s horrible is are stretching it. He’s been a good coordinator, coached many good players, and has been a part of a very successful defensive staff for years.

    Rewatch the Utah game and you can see that Sirmon has improved quite a bit, he isn't the all pac12 type ILB everybody has come to expect at UW every year, but I could see him getting there his senior year. He is consistently making good tackles sideline to sideline and next year he will only be a RS Soph.

    (Now that I have said this Im sure he will get rolled against stanford.)

    I am sure someone will emerge. Just saying there’s no one who looks poised to blow up like Uko did last year. We were screaming play him more because he was obviously superior to the guys ahead of him. I don’t love Sirmon but no one has shown me anything to say he shouldn’t be starting.

    The biggest issue is all the depth are freshman.

    pretty sure harris gets constantly shat on and is universally hated because he sucks at recruiting. did you take a 3 year break from the pedo board or something
    Negative. Just relaying a take that BTP had in one of the game threads about LIPO with Harris still. The quote was about BTPs hot takes after all, not about the entire pedo board.

    Agree Simon is probably overrated...but Latu isn't?

    Botelho, Herbig, Calvert, even Reynolds...I like Cooper but it is tough to miss on all the guys we miss on especially when we aren't even in consideration for all the elite guys Oregon and USC are signing- Sewell, Flowe, Brown, Gaoteote...
    Wynden is the biggest miss this year
