WDWHA?

Thanks Taft!
DRFS triggering warning is risen!

He seemed to embrace being a local guy playing for UW on social media so he seems cool. I feel like the vibe was in his recruitment that Deboer and staff really didn't want to recruit him but the narrative of the top guy in-state going to Oregon every year was getting so bad they had to sign him.
-
Every can't miss Seattle area player since Budda Baker has either not fully lived up to the hype at Ohio State or has been a complete bust and couldn't get on the field here.
Whatever you want to classify Conerly as down at Oregon is fine with me. He wasn't worth the supposed money nor should you promise anybody immediate playing time at left tackle/guard.
-
I know I'm a broken record about it but that's a good timeline for how long the top recruits in the state have been disappointments. Since Budda I would say Kyler Gordon is the only 4 or 5 star guy who truly met expectations or exceeded them.
JTT and Emeka ended up being good, but under exceeded their TBS rankings. Sounds like JTT might fall to the third round and Emeka seems like he's going to go in the second.
Conerly was fine. It's a draft which lacks top end tackles and teams are desperate for them and he still might not even go late first and is starting to get talked about as a guard, not a tackle. Vega Ioane ended up being the best instate OL in that class.

McGary went first round right
-
Another player that somehow moved way up on the Crootin’ boards for no reason after not playing a single WR with an FBS or a FCS college offer. I actually think this staff was really trying hard to get him involved but had to cut him loose
-
Second to last pick of the first round of that draft.

Kaleb now the blindside protector of messiah QB.
Emeka might go late first. Conerly too. Those picks are hard to project but we could just wait a week to know.
Kyler went second round after all. -
Getting into the first round in any fashion is quite an accomplishment. Both those guys were Top 10 players overall in their class and the top guys at their positions. Both are in really really shallow position groups for the draft this year in a year where a ton of teams need those positions and it's a really weak draft overall because a bunch of guys went last year.
Kyler was the 39th pick but the 107th guy in his class. He would have went higher but ran a slowish 40 for a CB. McGary and Budda both outperformed their star rating.
What I'm saying is, in the last 10 years, if you're from the state of Washington and you're a top end recruit, staying home has been played out better.
