The shocking taking of Watty in the 5th round (I had him like a 5% to even go in the 7th) puts it at 30 draft picks recruited or mostly developed by Petersen at UW. I'm not counting the 2015 guys because they were already NFL dudes already. A few more guys like ZTF who could get drafted in the coming years who could be considered Petersen guys.

Plenty not to like about him but this is a positive.

Too bad his process was racist tho.

    It's too bad he couldn't handle the crushing pressure of not having to win big

    Or beat Oregon

    Our AD hates that pressure even more but continues to collect a check.

    I feel really terrible for how much those guys were exploited before making it to the big show.

    In other news, Oregon had 1 player drafted, Kayvon Thibedeaux, who didn't develop a day past his last game of high school. Mikael Wright. Verone McKinley, and all those other guys went undrafted.

    Use that shit to your advantage, DeBoer.

    “30” or “—30–“ is an old timey print journalism markup to show the end of a story. Seems fitting.

    Not sure how negatively recruiting Miami is going to help UW
    Payback for 1991 at last!

    some quook is forgetting 1994 and 2000. Outside of Ohio State 2022 I wouldn’t expect a duck to understand that though. So you’re forgiven.

    I don’t even care that Wattenberg was picked in the 5th round because in his 3-4 years as a starter, he was never truly good.

    Our OL has been a mess under Huff. It’s astonishing that he was kept around. I think it was because he has won big recruiting battles and DeBoer and his group really don’t know much about recruiting because they haven’t done it.

    NIL makes it all a mess, but DeBoer and his guys would eventually become good recruiters because they are good guys. DeBoer is a no nonsense guy that also isn’t a dick, which in today’s age of players, is needed.
