Doubt it will happen again now that the staff is set up in Washington and offering WA kids 2 years out.Dennis_DeYoung said:Kim really likes Sark and irrationally defends him. Kim dislikes Pete and irrationally criticizes him.
That's what it is.
However, @RoadDawg55 is right on with this. That's the size of it...
I respect Pete and his process and I honestly love Matt Fink, but it's a loss. He had 6 months to offer and he didn't. Then he offered after the kid committed to GA. That's a mistake.
I'm a big fan of Pete, but a spade is a spade. -
If this turns into the Great Eason Schism of 2015 so be it I guess, but he's still just another kid until he gets out on the practice field in
2015 20162017. -
Eason got crushed by the 85 Bears in the Super Bowl

That list looks awfully similar to Nick Montana's. I was out of the loop with Eason and never really heard of him until DeYoung splooged about him on here months ago.
Upon further research, he clearly is a top prospect in the country, but what was the deal with him not being offered by UW? Was he offered by Sark and then UW didn't honor the offer once the coaching change occurred? Just seams strange if Sark was down to offer a 13 year old but not a more immediate class All-everything in his own backyard. Pretty strange of Pete to not honor it too.
I guess the question I have with Eason is how did his early recruitment breakdown and how did Georgia grab him so securely of all the schools? -
@Dennis_DeYoung Has anyone really ever put on the board that maybe pete doesn't see eason fitting what he wants to do with a team? My point has been peterson is successful by not only recruiting a certain kid mentally, he also recruits for a position that will succeed in a system he runs. I wonder if there is something about eason that they didn't like and it took a while to come around. Maybe they gave the courtesy offer fully knowing he wouldn't take it?
I'm not going to sit here and say I know anything about eason vs fink and who's that much better. I would just wonder if pete had a strategy on it from teh get go. he doesn't seem like the type to wait on a kid who he really wants. -
Eason has been known by the former BOISE STATE coach since long before he arrived at UW. Time to let the skinny one go to Georgia and be happy with who Pete brings us

Pete offered him after he saw him throw in person.

So if he didn't make some sort of huge effort to go see him in person, doesn't that lead you to believe there is more to it than just coming in that late?Dennis_DeYoung said:

It's a weird narrative to spin that WDWHA given that Pete told Eason they wanted to see him in person first and that was going to be in their camp or whatever it was... then the saw that, offered him immediately and now WDWHA?
They didn't make a huge effort to go see Austin Joyner in person either... because there are no games to 'see' them in in the Spring.
Occam's Razor, yo. -
You follow this shit far more than most on this board(or seem more obsessed about poasting than others), so I was merely asking. I got no dog in the fight. Except I want browning to be god so I don't have to watch cyler throw one more deflated pigskin in a husky uni.
Maybe pete makes up ground on eason, but either way it's going to be interesting
