I appreciate Tracy’s hustle and looking out for his brother
I appreciate that kids got to do what’s in their best interest
But publicly stating last night that Mario’s building Oregon into the Alabama of the West Coast when your brother is on staff at that school’s biggest rival … just sits wrong with me to then say that next UW coach better keep his brother on staff

Alabama destroys the trash of their conference. Oregon barely squeeks by, or in Stanfords case, loses -
He hasn’t exactly been sending all his top talent to UW lately, which is kind of why his brother had a job. Takes two to tango Tracy.
-
He’s a fucking idiot but he has the in state talent so he can gate keep it.
-
It’s why I didn’t really like the hire to start …
It was done almost exclusively to aid in establishing the link to the shady AAU hoops world that has seeped into football with the 7x7 underwear Olympics
So it basically sets up Tracy’s brother to land a high % of these players or if not he becomes either dead weight on the payroll or fired
There’s really no way to resolve the relationship without Tracy taking it personal and there’s no way that’s a long term positive for UW -
Tracy Ford gonna Tracy Ford.
-
How many FSP kids have committed to UW since Tracy’s brother was hired? Oh wait that’s right, almost none
-
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the number of Ford Sports kids who choose UW with Thomas Ford on staff is the exact same as the number of Ford Sports kids who choose UW without Thomas Ford on staff

All of it's overstated. I have no idea if his brother is of any value. The new guy can judge that. Tracy also doesn't have the leverage a lot of you think he does.
A good recruiter will sell a kid regardless of what his trainer thinks (and I don't think Tracy is one to go all scorched earth and jeopardize his own reputation out of spite anyways). And winning trumps everything. As always. -

Where I disagree is that he has the ability to be chilly if things go south and that vibe has the chance to indirectly be a negative going forward … the whole perception is reality thing
