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

Who will be the next to decommit?

Vanilla limits polls to 10 options, luckily that is not an issue for UW's class.

    Is Chance Bogan a football recruit? Sounds like he's a reserve defenseman on the lacrosse team

    I voted for Emeka Megwa just because he is from Texas and outside of the "west coast footprint"

    I voted for Bernard because he is the only person on the list that I think someone would want to poach and may listen. I wanted to vote for Otton because he has great talent and Stanford may make a push, but I don’t see him flipping anything except maybe the middle finger.

    Anything is possible with this lame staff.

    I'm kinda of confused as to how he kept the 2020 class together after Petersen left if this is what he brings

    I think Lake had a little outside help. It didn't hurt that the change happened right before early signing day (iirc) leaving less time for kids to reconsider.

    Any of them have an Oregon, USC, or tOSU offer?

    I was joking about the tOSU thing.

    Coach Pete, clearly. You also had Coach K as a well-respected coach holding it together on the defensive side.

    Coach K leaving is all we needed to see. That dude had never chased a bigger gig in his life and was (allegedly) given back the defense, but it only took 4 games for him to take off.

    And then Jimmy being unable not just to hire, but even to have serious interest from any remotely compelling defensive or offensive coordinators, tells you coaches aren’t buying what Jimmy’s selling.

    And then obviously the recruiting shit show.

    I dunno what happened to Jimmy, but something has clearly changed. His arrogance basically goes unchecked now is my best guess, & that Pete checked a lot of his worst impulses.
    Sark can be very persuasive when he has the $$$.

    See Nick Holt hire from DC at USC.

    Also the hire of Justin Wilcox (DC at Tennessee) and Tosh Lupoi (Cal’s super recruiter) a few weeks before signing day, effectively blowing up an incredible class Cal had assembled. No early signing day at the time.

    Absolutely agree.

    No ifs ands or buts . . . Get it done.

    Huge loss.

    By almost every available metric Lake is fucking terrible.

    In the REAL world you can judge a leader by how many other ultra competent in demand people want to work for them. I don't think football is any different. Lake can't get anyone worth a wet fart to come coach here. It is bottom of the barrel stuff. That's all I need to know.

    The question is has he even really tried?

    The only person we know Lake has legitimately pursued was Kellen Moore, and I can't really fault him (or even Jen in this case) that we couldn't outbid Jerruh for him.

    Other than that there haven't even been rumors of him putting out feelers on anyone. I'd assume that's just information that never got to us for whatever reason except it's exactly what we are seeing in recruiting. Jimmy makes halfhearted pursuit of a big name, gets denied, then immediately pivots to the path of least resistance.

    I'm not convinced Jimmy has even tried for anyone worth shit besides Moore.

    I hope you are correct here. Not wanting anyone worth a damn to work for you is even worse than no one worth a damn working for you.

    Either way the next few years won't be interesting.
    Are you saying you don't believe that he conducted a national search for a DC before deciding the best DC in the country was already on his staff?

    You're very right about all of that.

    I still think it's Lake's fault. Keeping Kwat should have been top priority. UW should have outbid Sark if that's what it took. Lake's job, part of it, was to make that happen.
    Lake wasn’t getting the go ahead to come close to 1.7 mil. If Kwat wanted to go, there wasn’t much Lake could do. Of all the things to bash Jimmy for, this is low.

    Wilcox is 21-21

    Just because he owned Petersen doesn't make him great

    Just because he owned Petersen doesn't make him great

    Does someone actually think Wilcox is great?
