    The biggest problem with the kind of reasoning that goes on, like over on doogman, is the insistence on using somebody else for comparison purposes, since there is no present history in the PAC on Peterman. The problems start right away. First of all Peterman is not somebody else. You are comparing somebody else to Peterman. See the problem? It's not Peterman. It's somebody else you are talking about. So you can either talk about Peterman or somebody else. But if you are talking about somebody else, it isn't Peterman. Everybody get this?

    Cliff notes: Just win baby. The recruiting will take care of it self.

    Nothing else matters.... except 7v7 tourneys/beauty pageants.

    I think I've got it. Wait, no.... which one is Peterman again?

    Honest question: are the TBS star ratings assigned via a consensus from all scout/rivals people? Or are they rated based on one person's opinion?

    I am not saying the star rating system is terrible- I know that for the most part, teams with top-25 recruiting classes are the same teams that end up in the top-25 rankings. But, if a person (ecktard) is assigning stars and is also complaining about a coach, is it possible that his biased opinion could affect the players' rating?

    In other words, if he goes into it with the attitude "peterman can't recruit at this level", could he give a player 3 stars instead of 4 because he subconsciously believes that peterman can't recruit 4-star guys? I honestly don't know...maybe he doesn't have that much control over it?

    I'm pretty sure the regional "experts" assign stars. From what I remember from my TBS time, that's guys like. Biggins and Hoffman or Huffman, whatever. They always seemed to be less clueless than Fagman.

    Also from what I remember, There usually aren't huge discrepancies between Rivals, Scout, and the four letter. I think sometimes what's missed are the guys who developed late because they aren't on anyone's radar their sophomore and junior years. It can be because they took up football late, they hit a growth spurt late, or they just got better/got a better coach or something.

    Yes, plus the painter's tarp is a very flattering color.

    Petersen coming in and getting Baker to switch left me no doubt he will be able to recruit. Sark had 0 chance at Budda (although doogs will claim he planted the seeds for Petersen) and Petersen was able to wrangle him in with very limited time.

    Not Sark's fault. Bellevue clearly isn't known for it's sizzle and edgy talent and the kids that come out of there have no eye for the possibilities of a program built on it. Skyline and Gig Harbor put out way edgier players so I doubt Petersen will have much success at those places.
    Gig Harbor? The team that hasn't beat B Prep in like a decade?

    When was the last time B Prep put out a 5 star D1 football player that committed to Washington?
