PAC 12 Early Signing Period Conference Rankings
12. WASHINGTON
Overall Rank: 89
Top Signee: Germie Bernard, WR, 4-star recruit, No. 220 overall.
Top Transfer: Michael Penix Jr., QB, Indiana
Recruits Signed: 6
Out goes Jimmy Lake after two seasons in place of Chris Petersen. In comes Kalen DeBoer. Washington began the day ranked 10th, but lost ground to both USC and Arizona State Wednesday when the faxes began. Many touted DeBoer as a great fit for the job, but it may take time to rebuild a recruiting class with just six players signed so far.
“The top priority was to get the guys that were committed – the guys that, when I looked at them on paper and watched their film and understood more about them, were guys that love this program, had deep ties to it in some ways, whether it’s because they were committed to it for a long time or local, whatever it might be,” he said via Dawgman. “That was a top priority.”

I am afraid it is going to take a cycle to repair the recruiting brand degredation. It started at the end of the Petersen era - then turned into full fledged dumpster fire under Lake.
Hopefully we kill with tranfers in the meantime. -
I praise Allah that this class was going to be on the smaller side anyway and the 2023 class is pretty deep in WA State.
Besides the big Penix get, where do fellow DAWGs think we need transfers? Younger guys would be ideal since the 2021 class was smaller and the 2022 class will be smaller than that. Are there any good players who were only at their schools for 1 or 2 seasons? -
Sounds like he wants to build a fence around the stateChillyDawg said:“The top priority was to get the guys that were committed – the guys that, when I looked at them on paper and watched their film and understood more about them, were guys that love this program, had deep ties to it in some ways, whether it’s because they were committed to it for a long time or local, whatever it might be,” he said via Dawgman. “That was a top priority.”

Don't get me wrong, I'd take Penix over Nix, but to say getting a QB coming off a 4-7 td/int ratio is "big" is troubling.HFNY said:I praise Allah that this class was going to be on the smaller side anyway and the 2023 class is pretty deep in WA State.

Yeah, he has glass bones. The upside is really good if you can protect him and keep him healthy.greenblood said:

That's bothersome, given the recent performance of Washington's offensive line. Huff might be one of the better recruiters, but if he can't get the most out of the OL that is there, then they are wasting the upside Penix provides.backthepack said:

Deboner’s pass protection schemes are much better than Petersen/Donovan plus we obviously have more OL talent than Indiana (they’ve been a disaster in pass pro, bottom 5 per pff for the last 3 years).greenblood said:

Haener nearly was Britain covey’d a handful of games this year. Their line was not good.backthepack said:

I mostly just wanted to say that for simple amusement. If he can stay healthy and replicate his 2019 numbers, fantastic. If he's a back-up who offers a different look as a RPO QB but is more of a depth guy in 2021, that wouldn't be the end of the world.greenblood said:
