    Either way, it’ll be interesting.

    Interesting.

    I dont want him at UW. I'd rather have good coaches who realize that being great recruiters is now part of their job too. It's not hard, in fact it's way, way easier than being a great coach.

    You can have 2 DB coaches you realize that right? He’s probably one of the top 5-6 recruiters in the country. Get him.
    Why does one of them need to be a shitty coach? Is it so unbelievable to you that others can coach and recruit even if you don't know who they are yet? There are other ways to build a staff besides hiring retreads with huge red flags.

    Disagree with the bolded.

    Yes you want the best coaches possible who are great in every area, but elite recruiting is an intangible skill that very few people have. It's ultra-competitive sales.

    Turnover rates at high-commission jobs are insanely high for a reason, the best and brightest on paper can't fucking hack it. I'm ok with having a hired gun on staff who specializes in this area, particularly early on when you still need to sell the vision.

    Ideally, once the train gets rolling the program will start recruiting itself more.
    He had a 5 star DE from Georgia committed to fucking Clay Helton before it imploded. Yes please.

    SC recruiting hasn’t been anything special the last two years and Oregon’s recruiting hasn’t dropped since he left.

    Coordinators are not big recruiters most of the time. It’s dudes that know scheme and have their shit together and many times Are burnouts from the recruiting trail.

    SC had the 7th ranked class in 2021 and was 64th in 2020. When was he hired at USC relative to the 2020 signing periods?

    He got Domani. He got Korey Foreman. He got Mykel Williams. He’s a great recruiter.
    I’m not here to bash The Daunt but, two of those kids live about an hour from SC.

    Pretty much minimum requirements, that said, in a difficult situation.

    I believe the recruiting services rank him as one of the top recruiters in the conference this year. For the 2021 class he was #1 in the PAC12 and #3 in the country.
