    Side note: Spiker supposedly transferred to Nevada but isn't listed on their roster. His Instagram says he is a WR for Portland State but he isn't listed on their roster either.

    Either way, he has got to be one of the biggest UW recruiting busts over the last decade

    Along with Mora being a good coach, one I had a feeling sucked but would only sometimes say my true opinion because everyone else was so enamored.

    When I watched his Hudl, I noticed his QB was throwing dimes. That QB ended up starting game one for Boise State as a true freshman. Then he ran a 4.88 at a camp and the recruiting guys said he lacked strength and was skinny.

    He played in a high school offense with a great high school QB that aired it out every play. I fully disagree with anyone that says high school stats don’t matter, but Spiker’s were definitely inflated. 40 TD’s vs 25 TD’s doesn’t matter, but anyone that does well at a lower level, has a better chance of doing well at the next level.
    Yep you were the first negative voice on Spiker. You, @TierbsHsotBoobs and @DerekJohnson were the negative voices on Sirmon.

    I did know Sirmon sucked. I was completely off on Yankoff and thought he would be a star.

    You weren't the only one who warned about Sirmon but I do remember you were one of them.

    I dont understand how anyone fell for Yankoff. His throwing motion and arm strength weren't really any better than Cyler Myles. He was just faster than him.

    I don’t really care how most of the guys that left do on their new teams. But part of me would think it’s hilarious and love to see Sirmon just balling out for BG in the MAC and throwing for like 40 tds and 30 picks and tweeting and instagramming bible versus and random subtle shade at UW for not going with him.

    Like Haener at Fresno, but cooler and better and not actually Haener.
