Not Too Bad
for missing out on many top recruits
Yeah he could have done better

USC is number one because they have 46 kids in their class. They’re like 7th by average rating. UW is 21st by average rating. Oregon is actually number one by average

UW is doing well in the TBS game this year. Rivals was sneakily taken over by On3, which is a fake propaganda pay for play site and fucks up the rankings by gassing anything connected to certain progrums.

Indeed, USC's class is barely top 10 according to 247 based on average rating. Oregon is #1 by a full point (94.3) over #2 LSU. Several teams have similar ratings in the 91-92 range, including USC.
E-F dropping the hard data today.

TBS ratings were already kind of fucked out and then On3 stepped in and full on buttfucked them.

udub needs to be top 15 in the avg rating. They’ll do it next year with a 10 win season. Doing well though… DSD disagrees.

Not to be a cunt here, but the issue is that aside from outliers(LIKE WASHINGTON) top 20 is meaningless. "you?" have to be well inside the top 10 to have a consistent shot to lose to Ohio State and Georgia. The difference between 10 and 20 is way, way greater than the difference between 1 and 10. 20 is closer to 40 than it is to 10. The gap only grows. @puppylove_sugarsteel

This isn't a terrible point, dtd. The thing is though that UW wasn't even recruiting in the Top 40 under Jimmy and DeBoer so getting back into the realm of ranked recruiting talent to build a base of talent and depth needed to happen. I think one way teams can compete is if they can end up with an elite QB like how UW did with Penix, and QBs can be harder to project and for teams to stack because they want to play.
There's really only been 3-4 programs at a time that can actually win the whole thing but it does feel like we're heading more and more to the dream of Savannah Bananas shit.

I don't know, the core of UW's 2022-2023 teams were from the 2019 and 2020 classes. They were ranked #15 and #17. DeBoer added Penix and Dillon Johnson (and Junior Adams / Jimmy Lake added Ja'Lynn Polk) for rocket fuel.
Though the 2023 (#26), 2024 (#47), and 2025 (#23) classes weren't ranked that highly, UW is still stacking some talent. The 2024 class was the not-fun transition from DeBoer to Fisch but there are some pretty good players from that class (it was light on numbers with only 18 commits). The 2026 class is ranked #19 and could end up higher if they can flip a few good recruits from UCLA (the 4-star O'Dea DL and the high 3 star LB from Spanaway).
The key is Fisch and Co. sticking around for continuity and going at least 8-4 in the regular season to show solid improvement.

The Petersen classes were underrated by the TBS losers and should have been Top 10 classes but said TBS losers gave too many points to overall number of players signed and probably getting paid to pump up certain players and shit like that I'm tired of writing about. Hi Gee Scott Jr. being rated as a borderline 5 star and ahead of McMillan and Odunze.
Combine Petersman signing what should have at least been borderline top 10 classes, with an all-time great ability to assess talent with Penix and you have 2022-23.

Peterson OKGs were malleable to his coaching and sedulous to the rigors of competing for tits, unlike most modern 4-5 stars who spend more tim curating tiktoks and having their sister paint their nails than focusing on football.
Coupled with Penix and a few other portals, 2023 was lightning in a bottle.
