In State Blue Chips

Look, I think JT is pretty good. I'd definitely take him over any incoming recruit UW has coming in (though that's not a huge statement) and probably transfers (thought the Ok St CB is a much bigger need).
My main point was that I think a lot of the guys like him, especially in WA, who have been anointed as possibly the best prospect in the country at like 14 have struggled, though I think he's a lot better than Smalls and Huard. I could easily see year three be the year he puts it all together and becomes an All-American and starts making plays instead of just affecting them. Also agree he gets a lot of low key trash teams in the Big 10 he should put up bigger numbers against and doesn't.
I stand by the thing about the Penn State game. It looks insane on paper but it's a lot of alignment, right place right time, and I think the announcer mentions Penn State had a backup lining up against him. -
JTT is a good player. He was overhyped for sure. I heard some tossing out the “Generational” tag. That’s not him. He’s an exceptional athlete but strictly from a rush end perspective he’s a top talent but not something you can’t replicate in another player. In many ways Latu is more natural to me at rushing the QB.

This is fair. I was going to say he at the very least doesn't feel like a player who was ranked by a lot as the top recruit in his class. I went back and looked at that class has some struggles. Maybe Covid fucked it up. He's certainly better than Korey Foreman and is right there with Jack Sawyer.DawgDaze71 said:JTT is a good player. He was overhyped for sure.

Of course we? want JTT. But still

I never took the time to watch Korey Foreman videos but even I’m shocked at how he’s done nothing in college. I think the argument of players peaking early in HS is very valid.WoolleyDoog said:

I’d say my best call was Justin Flowe. I saw NOTHING in his game that suggested he had instincts and I knew he’s be one of the smaller guys on the field at the next level.
Jury is still out on Sewell. I guessed he’d be a liability in coverage and frankly his first season proved me wrong. This last season he was purportedly dinged most of the season so year three shall be the rubber match.

The JTT criticism is out of control. He started every game for a team that made the playoff.
OSU isn't starting somebody because of recruiting hype, they have tons of hyped recruits on their bench. They're starting him because he's damn good. -
never seen more shade for a second year productive, at times dominant DE.WoolleyDoog said:
If you're hyping him because you know he's transferring to UW then cool. Otherwise he had zero tackles, sacks or TFLs in that game and I wonder if you watched it on mute if you'd notice him.backthepack said:
Naw JT is legit. Go watch that UGA game.WoolleyDoog said:
For whatever reason the state of Washington seems to have a major problem hyping up kids who peak at 14 and/or are huge at that age and then clearly have limited ceilings. Feels like Smalls and JTT to an extent. I don't think it's a coincidence that Egbuka is like the only big recruit from WA to actually be good recently and he blew up late.chuck said:.
Happily I was right about him. I'm bound to get a few right with as many opinions as I have.RoadDawg55 said:
I’ve never watched him but I believe you. There have been a bunch of guys that I knew sucked and some were actually worried about losing. Julien Simon was the worst one. If you thought Julian Simon was going to be a good P-5 football player, you should quit having an opinion on any recruit.FireTheJanitor said:
Ahfua is WDWHA, but nobody will believe me yet. Once any good college coach digs into his junior film most of those offers won’t be committable any more. I’d take Brown and McDonald and call it a day with O’Dea.WoolleyDoog said:

Get Jason Brown no excuses. He's the one I'll be mad if we don't get. If we can get an equivalent Hogan Hansen from California that's fine.GayThoughts said:Class of 2024:
Jason Brown, RB, O'DEA, 5'10" 200 lbs, 20 offers already
Isendre Ahfua, OG, O'DEA, 6'5" 330 lbs, 20 offers already
Hogan Hansen, TE, BELLEVUE, 6'6" 220 lbs, 16 offers already (committed to Michigan but Harbaugh is likely NFL bound)
Brayden Platt, LB, YELM, 6'2" 240(!!) lbs, 10 offers already
Marquawn McCraney, S, HIGHLINE, 6'1" 180 lbs, 7 offers already
Rahshawn Clark, WR, FEDERAL WAY, 6'0" 180 lbs, 12 offers already
Fox Crader, OT, EVERGREEN, 6'6" 275 lbs, 10 offers already (committed to Oregon)
Kyan McDonald, S, O'DEA, 6'0" 175 lbs, 8 offers already
EJ Caminong, QB, GARFIELD, 6'2" 195 lbs, 4 offers already (committed to Washington)
Malachi Durant, WR, PUYALLUP, 6'2" 160 lbs, 8 offers already
Not as top heavy as '21, but 10 guys with multiple power 5 offers before their senior season is pretty good. I'd like to see DeBoer keep at least 5-6 of them home.
I think he also tweeted Go Green the week before the Michigan State game. How'd that go? Seems like a weirdo.
Someone needs to convince Hansen Harbaugh will leave and the track record of TEs from Washington who go to UW and the NFL is unrivaled.
Crader looks like he wants to fall in line with Devon Allen and Terrance Ferguson and be the lamest looking white guy at Oregon.
It already seems like Brown is the only big one they'll get and the rest will have to be framed as WDWA already.
I'd also rather have an OL recruit that can move the one that's huge.
Have you watched those plays or did you see the state line on Twitter?ntxduck said:

Yeah, I didn't read that much into his comments. He basically said the focus is keeping Washington kids home and dominating California. He noted that the 5-star kids that USC wants will stay home. So what. How many five-star players does UW ever get from anywhere, let alone Southern California. Yet even still, there is so much talent there that UW should be able to stock its program with great players (a lot of them need a year or two in the program to develop -- that's going to be where DeBoner earns his keep).
He didn't really say anything that was surprising or worrisome, imho. It was basically a story about how he's gotten to where he is and why he's at Washington. The dude is confident. And the article noted the staff booted Glenn down to director of player development while making the Oregon guy (Henkle?) director of recruiting and a former Michigan guy as director of scouting. Bruce Harrell's daughter is director of on-campus recruiting.
So it sounds like the grown ups are in charge. (Except in the AD's chair, and until that changes, I'm not going to get my hopes up even though I'm doogin more than I have since Peterman first came on board.)

Good teams scored on Ohio St. 87 points allowed last 2 games. It’s not an elite defense.dnc said:The JTT criticism is out of control. He started every game for a team that made the playoff.

JTT is good but there should absolutely be more production to date, though I also agree that he played great against Georgia. Wouldn’t surprise me if he’s first team AA next year, wouldn’t surprise me if he had less than 5 sacks again either. EWIWBI.
