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

Pipelines

Which schools have provided UW the most talent over the past 20-30 years? Which schools have been most consistent in sending kids to UW that are ready to buy in and perform?

Which schools send kids over and over again that never pan out?

Don’t know the answers myself but have a hunch on some of the local schools some might mention. I’d like the take to include local schools but equally interested in hearing more about schools in CA, CO, OR, AZ, NV, HI if any stand out.

    Great post.

    Schools I’m surprised to not see at a cursory glance: Lakes, Ferndale, O’Dea, Lynden (adding because their moms are the kind I’d like to fuck), Puyallup, Skyline.

    Didn’t realize Federal Way had 3 kids, that’s my surprise inclusion.
    I started with the Pete years because I’m 9 years old and that’s when I started watching football. Ferndale has both Hatchett brothers in this era and I think Locker and other would be included if you went further back. I think an interesting trend is that a recruit’s 7on7 coach has more say on where they go to college than HS coach nowadays. But I’m not quite gay enough yet to look up where teen boys play football at

    I feel like O'Dea has been the most consistent pipeline of at least the King County schools and maybe even Western Washington although Puyallup probably gets some credit.

    They’ve pumped a lot to UW the more I think about it.

    Gaskin, Race Porter, Meesh Powell, Prentice, a handful of other walkons that havent cracked the depth, and bonus points for St. Ruperake for more recent era.

    The Benn Bros, Ben Riva, Ty Eriks, Quinton Richardson (god help us all), and I’m sure others without digging deeper from a little bit further back. No idea on the earlier 90s.

    Their corners have struggled here but they have one next year with an offer that looks physical on tape.

    We? also missed a few guys thanks to Ty.

    No. Not even close. He actually started for a while and was talented. Huard and Smalls were more highly touted. They still have time, but you know.
    That didn't really seem like a genuine call for debate, but I was going to answer until I saw this.

    Seems DeBoer and co place greater emphasis on regions outside of UW’s typical footprints, in areas where they actually take football seriously, much to the chagrin of TBS fags from the Sark and Pete years. Plenty of offers to kids from Texas, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, etc. As populations explode in the Vegas and Phoenix metro areas, more and more blue chip recruits will spawn from the tuff desert sands. One can only hope for more Fautanu’s and Trice’s and less Austin Osborne’s

    I covered this in another thread: https://hardcorehusky.com/discussion/comment/1695184#Comment_1695184

    Essentially, because we had a bunch of assistants who were already recruiting at other schools, our footprint looks different in the first year. We're already seeing a shift back to WA, CA, and AZ in 2024

    He should have taken the coaching advice and switched to Tackle.

    Looks like Bellevue HS was shaping up to be a fruitful pipeline until Butch Goncharoff got pinched for being ahead of his time on the NIL front. I didn’t include Eastside Catholic despite multiple signees over the years because JTT and other highly coveted buddies told us? to fuck off

    Eastside Catholic really wasn't that good until relatively recently.
    Basically since Jason Gesser was their coach and started the recruiting process. Moving to the Sammamish Plateau and a new school building probably helped as well.

    Three High Schools in less than a mile is just poor planning.



    Also Skyline had a good little pipeline during their heyday.

    I'm unable to resist this c/p










    I'm gettin jacked, I'm breakin myself
    I can't believe they're taking Darren's wealth
    They sold my couch, they took my xanax
    I looked at the popos and said "damn, what's next?"

    They got my homey hemmed up and they all around
    Ain't none of them seeing if they going straight pound for pound
    I gotta come up real quick before they start to clown
    I besta pull out my strap and lay them busters down

    They got guns to my head
    I think I'm going down
    I can't believe I moved to this fuckin town
    If I had wings I would fly
    Let me contemplate
    I glanced in the cut and I see my homey Hale

    Sixteen in the clip and one in the hole
    Hale Dogg is about to make some bodies turn cold
    Now they droppin and yellin
    It's a tad bit late
    Hale Dogg and Darren G. had to regulate
