I agree with you, and while I’m not thrilled with 3-1, with a new coach and OC and QB I’m fine with it.1to392831weretaken said:
I'd also hope he'd be smart enough to see that the current offense has a lid on it, and that "rare ability to throw the deep ball" coming in would remove that lid. Hopefully, he's also watched closely enough to know that the top receivers would all have 15 catches and multiple TDs if they caught more than they dropped...Edwin_Bambino said:
I wish I could Doog with you on this, but I think he will look at an offense where the top receiver has 9 catches through four games and a team that just lost to a bad Stanford team and say thanks but no thanks, I’m going to a team I know can compete for Nattys and I know can get WRs the ball and unfortunately through 4 games fairly or unfairly that doesn’t look like UW.DawgsCanDance said:I'd think he is staying home given that spring practice is up in the air, UW has shown reasonable care and affection for how they are handling protocol for athletes, he is personally connected to the incoming QB that has the rare ability to throw the deep ball, and it's important to be able to be around family during these weird times.
I just think from his perspective it is two relatively known commodities in OSU and Oklahoma and their coaches versus Jimmy L and UW which is more or less an unknown in LIPO mode for better or worse. -
He’s not coming here

I dont see anything about the UW offense not to like if I'm a top receiver prospect.
1) staff willing to give reps and looks to young guys, even after costly drops
2) Other young WR making plenty of costly drops = plenty of opportunity
3) scheme has plenty of downfield passing but QB and receivers struggling to execute
4) Incoming QB excels at throwing the deep ball
He's going to tOSU. But still. -

If there is one positive thing about the horrors of this thread and another 5 star leaving the state and the Pac12, it's that I deciphered another bored acronym:
ITB= in the bag, instead of something related to Komo4. -
I'm with @FremontTroll . Emeka will come home to mama after he sees the world a bit
The NW can be a bit smug but I have been to Columbus and Oklahoma. You better be SERIOUS about football if you go there because that's your life
I'd point out the guys that left and are sitting on the bench. Nobody loves you like your people love you -
If we beat Stanford we would all think he’s coming here. I remember when we all did. It was only a week ago.

I'm still waiting for the other elite WRs on the roster that were make or break for the program to make an impact, with respect.
-
This thread us a mess
I am sure Emeka wanted to come here
But we are full
Not his fault -
Interesting. How much better, if at all, do you think Egbuka will be than Puka, Jalen, Rome, etc....?Doogles said:I'm still waiting for the other elite WRs on the roster that were make or break for the program to make an impact, with respect.
Would EE have a greater impact than a John Ross for instance? How do we rate this loss from a purely talent standpoint? -

First learn walk. Then learn fly. Thsts the process.
Seriously though, I've seen more receivers with more looks, including downfield looks, this year than I have at UW in a long time. Far fewer passes overall but the passing game has involved the depth chart better than it used to and the plays/routes aren't so boring. Most of the difference in total passes is probably due to the lack of bubble screens. -
Nah the process is dogshit. We are consistently running the ball in situations we should be passing. When you run the ball on 2nd & 10, or 1st & 20, you are setting yourself up to fail. Good offenses don't play to get a 3rd & 5 every time, they try and score points.chuck said:

The John Don/Lake offensive philosophy is to play not to lose, and its why we keep falling behind. There's a reason the offense looks better when we are forced to try and score.
The passing scheme is fine, guys are getting open, but the philosophy will always hold us back. -
Did we lose yet?

He is obviously a huge add to a great array of talent, and will get early playing time because of his talent and Sympatico with Sam. -
Sounds like we agree. I was joking about the oroxeas, if that wasn't clear.Neighbor2972 said:

Need good RB’s to run the ball. Ones that break off chunks off yards and not 1-2 yard inside dives.Neighbor2972 said:

At this point I’d settle for Emeka to OU and JT to Alabama just so we don’t have to see this nightmare of a face.

Tonight’s the last night to pretend we have a shot with this kid. Enjoy!

I'm dooging for Jimmy. He's the guy for UW. There definitely aren't any horrifying red flags wide enough for the Titanic to sail through. No siree. Just want to cheer on the lads! Go Dwags!

Commitment Watch: Emeka Egbuka to make his decision tonight at 7 p.m.
Lincoln Riley, Oklahoma Sooners hope to earn commitment from No. 10 overall prospect in SI All-American's 2021 class rankings
National signing day won't come until next week, but tonight, the Sooners may score a massive victory on the recruiting trail before turning their attention to next Wednesday's fireworks.
Emeka Egbuka, the No. 1 overall wide receiver prospect in the class of 2021, will announce his decision at 7 p.m. CT. The native of Steilacoom, Wash. is set to choose between Ohio State, Oklahoma, and his hometown Washington Huskies.
There's growing optimism that the Sooners could land Egbuka, especially after his visit to Norman last weekend. Oklahoma quarterback commit Caleb Williams, SI All-American's No. 1 overall prospect, spoke very highly of his camaraderie with Egbuka in his weekly blog via SI All-American.
"You don't always find somebody and connect as if you feel you've known him forever," Williams remarked. "I feel like I've known him forever and I feel like I've been throwing with him forever, too. It was awesome. I was super happy he got down here, we got some work in and he could finally see OU."
It's expected that Egbuka will commit to either the Sooners or the Buckeyes, as Washington's presence in his final three appears to be nothing more than a token nod to his roots. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound wideout will step into an extremely favorable situation at either school, as Ohio State and Oklahoma each boast top-10 recruiting classes in 2021. The big fish among the Sooners' pledges is Williams, the reigning Elite11 MVP. However, the Buckeyes also boast a highly touted quarterback commit in Philadelphia product Kyle McCord.
Should the Sooners land both Egbuka and Camar Wheaton in addition to Williams, they'd own three of the top 10 players in SI All-American's 2021 rankings. Wheaton will choose between Oklahoma and Alabama on Dec. 23.
I've already accepted this ... but man, I would shart so bad if he decided at the 11th hour and 59th minute that staying home was his best decision.
