Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Can Huskies compete for Pac-12 titles on current recruiting pace?

    Don't be fooled by that stoic sideline demeanor

    Jimmy Lake is Ballz. Prove me wrong.

    I'll prove you wrong

    Ballz cares about UW football

    Don James may have quit on his team but I doubt he was lazy.

    I would bet Don James back in the day was a lousy recruiter. All he probably had to say was, "We're here to win" and let the behind the scenes coaching and on the field performance do the talking. Recruits would come to UW because they consistently overachieved in all the games regardless of their opponent. Jimmy lake will have to do the same. That's pretty much the only way to compete with the way the landscape is setting up with amateur money making and other deals behind the scenes.

    You'd lose the bet

    James was the closer.
    if you're right, there must be stories about it. anyways, It's all about development and overachievement now if the school doesn't have the resources to "fund" players. College football is about to get very interesting. Teams might be better off not recruiting 5 star players who will get big money deals and become a distraction to their teams....However 3 star player who overachieve could get compromised psychologically as well as soon as they start showing some potential on the field.
    Survived a driveby at Beno Bryant's house to get his commit IIRC
    Different Strokes Todd shooting i think

    Could be an urban legend

    But a shooting

    Bryant said Washington Coach Don James asked him about the car about two weeks ago. ". . . Coach James said if you got that car from an agent, you’re ineligible,” Bryant said.

    That's pretty funny story. Agents and coaches apparently can work independently not knowing what the other side is doing
