Peterman and Recruiting

I think we would all prefer UW to field a team of all 4 and 5 star recruits. That said, the hoopla about his recruiting is fucking stupid. Peterman is likely going to sign top 25 classes. Even Ty did that at times. There are outliers to the recruiting rankings and Peterman has proven to be a great coach and talent developer. There are plenty of other examples. Mark Dantonio has his teams frequently at or near the top of the Big 10 despite not having a single class ranked in the top 25 by Scout from 2009-2013. He still won 11+ games three times during those years. I checked all the way back to 2006 and Wisconsin also did not have a single top 25 class. Somehow they have still gone to three Rose Bowls since 2010. Bill Snyder at Kansas State is another example. He has always gotten lowly ranked guys and JC recruits yet been a winner.

On the other end, Miami, Tennessee, USC, Michigan, and North Carolina are almost always in the top 25 and haven't won shit recently. Tennessee has been especially bad for where their recruits have been ranked. The more I have looked at it, the more I come to the realization that these rankings are mostly shit. What the rankings really prove is that coaching is the only thing that matters. Auburn under Chizik was going in the toilet despite highly ranked classes. Malzahn comes on board and they are playing in the title game.

Fuck the doogs that loved the sizzle of coming in third place for 5 star recruits. Kim and his lemoniers know their site is based on recruiting so they have to act like the rankings are so important. They're not and it takes no skill to rank Alabama, LSU, Ohio State, Florida State, and Texas' classes at the top. Those schools always get great talent. I know that Peterman is putting a lot more effort in the bottom half of his classes than Sark did. Not to mention, the balance Peterman will have each class. For the dumb fucks who say Peterman won't take edgy or academically risky players, I present Vita Vea. I think a number of our lower ranked recruits that Peterman signed last year will turn out to be good players.

    If he wins I'm not worried. Sark's 4 stars were shitty a good chunk of the time too. I couldn't care less about the stars and rankings and I bet Peter north and his staff dont either.

    Again why is it so exciting to sign a bunch of 4 star recruits now just to have 50% of them switch by signing day? I liked Petersen in the interview where he said they aren't going to put time into kids who aren't interested.

    Wonder what was happening during 2009 and 2012 when he was averaging around 2 in the pink?

    Yea, the Rick and Peterman sections are purple and gold on purpose. I did red for Gilby because I consider it a bloody year.
