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

DeBoer and Petersen as recruiters?

How do they (and their staffs) compare in their time at UW?

    DeBoer is not impressed with their stars.

    The next couple cycles should be very interesting. Getting better media exposure in the B1G could help.

    Boston is a great talent, I think Lyons is too. Mack looks good?

    So far Deboer recruits better on offense while Pete did better with defense. No surprise. It's an offensive game now more than ever though. The spector of the UW offense contributes to the defense through the pressure it puts on the other team, very similar to the Chipster teams at Oregon.

    I'm actually impressed with the DBs UW is bringing in now. If they can step up the talent acquisition in the front 7 a bit it's going to get speshal. Pete's ceiling was a conference championship. Deboer's is higher and he probably doesn't need top 15 classes to reach it.

    UW got to the semifinals in 2016, so Deboer would more or less have to reach the national championship game to raise the bar.

    Pete built a tremendous culture, but no doubt Deboer is the better game-day coach by far.

    Good enough to win a playoff game or two in a 12-team format with recruiting classes consistently outside the Top 15?

    Only if UW is able to land 3-4 big-time players in the transfer portal every offseason imo.

    That's probably gonna take a lot more resources flowing into the NIL slush fund

    Keep in mind half of the teams that are above UW in HS talent suck balls. It's never been all about the HS stars but it's definitely less so now with transfers

    I don't really think of hopeless matchup in the national semis as a higher achievement than a league championship. Probably not an argument I could win but it's my feeling about UW 2016.

    Pretty much the same at this point in time. Pete took guys like Sydney Jones and BBK and turned them in to first-team all-conference players. If DeBoer can do the same for guys like Jayvon Parker and Tristan Dunn then it's about even.

    DeBoer is way ahead of Pete in terms of coaching scheme on offense so we should do better if the development is there. Working against DeBoer, of course, is NIL

    Yeah, I'm pretty confident that nothing Inge and company do will even sniff the defensive player development we saw under Pete and Kwat.
