Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Recruiting board

Have we lost any semblance of caring about recruiting? Used to be hudl and opinions on virtually every recruit offered and some that weren’t. Are we in the wait and see mode or is it just too early? Got to admit I miss seeing some of this stuff here and hope that we eventually find our collective enthusiasm sometime rather than the melancholy that has affected myself and others regarding the state of college football.

Not asking for discord level dooging about any tweet sent out by a recruit but just a sign of life.

    I was going to talk on the podcast about the sadness of having the top rated recruit and a Top 10 247/5-star recruit in Seattle who is the last guy in the 2022 to still not have signed but his thread on here isn't even visible when you open this forum because it's so buried. Then I realized how sad that was and talked about Jake Lockner instead.

    It’s pure LIPO and prove it Season

    Of course, in the vacuum people step up and you have the Discord crew (Acropolis, Stein, Coach V) running with things

    I appreciate the effort but my general take is that this new group collectively are way too happy for the attention/access and spinning everything being sunshine and roses

    The more time passes without material recruiting momentum (and that’s verbals and signings for those paying attention … not offers/visits) the greater the potential that the recruiting concerns expressed at the time of the hire were well founded

    I only enjoy following recruiting when I have actual hope that UW can land big time players. It’s depressing otherwise. That hope died during Lake’s implosion, and now we’re in limbo waiting to see if DeBoer is worth a damn in recruiting or not

    I suggest you find a hobby.

    I still follow stuff on Twitter, just have very little interest posting about recruits who aren't coming here. Until a recruit shows actual interest in UW there's not much to talk about.

    I was ready to get back into it with a new coach, but us being 5 years behind the game with NIL has made me more pessimistic about recruiting than ever.
    Couldn’t agree more

    But luring people in and then dropping the “you can now pay us” plus heavy censoring they were doing … less than ideal.

    But they are getting their access and shoutouts from the staff on KJR so more power to them
    They are getting shoutouts from KJR?

    I hate people that think they're providing a value or service and when they aren't. Like, clearly are not. Plus they are assholes and ban anyone who hates what is clearly the worst AD we've ever had here.

    What they did is only one or two steps above someone here linking a paypal account and then DM'ing people on Derek's website what bullshit 'rumors' they are hearing.

    Or a quook that goes and spams links and articles in the refuge without donating, like it's his personal fucking website.

    It’s why they got a bunch of pushback

    If you can get sheep to give you money for nothing then who’s the idiot?

    Big fan of the open market for stuff like this

    I knew that discord was dead when they tried to create a "negativity" channel and censor negative opinions in the main discussion channels

    Discord Guys I find to be just the JV version of Doogman, but wish them well and hope it works out and blows up.

    Between new staff and questions on ability to produce on field, along w/ NIL program that is equal of running 42nd out of 42nd in Nascar field 20 laps down 30 laps into race there is no reason to commit here if your a plan A guy, and no sense of urgency to commit here even if your a plan B guy as that scholarship is there whenever you want to pull the trigger, so you can afford to wait and see what other better offers might come your way.

    Yep, tragic Covid death. I got to say a few words at his funeral. I said "he stacked turds like cordwood, and now his body joins the stack..."
