UW’s John Timu: ‘We know how to be average, and that’s what we’re trying to avoid’
You certainly do, John. In fairness, I think Timu has really improved under Peter Sirmon and Wilcox. Some other positions on the team? Not so much.

I could see that replacing "Retake Montlake" soon!
Here is a great one from Sept 2011: No one in the program has any credibility. Shut up and play.
It's a shame our media never holds these guys to those statements. Like when Holt was fired, someone ask Sark "just three months ago you said he was a tremendous and you believed in them. What changed in only three months?"
The media is pathetic in that regard. In NY, Boston, Philly, Chicago etc. they actually ask tough questions. Here Softy asks Sark mindless softballs and tells his audience what a great guy Gilbertson was and how we should forget 2004.
Divish Seems like a frat boy who's in his eighth yr. of college, brah. He plays around on Twitter, Alex Akita is his bff, and he wears those douchey untucked dress shirts and other metrosexual apparel.
Maybe Jude is actually good, but probably not.
1) our top commit, Daeshon Hall, jumped ship at the last minute after being a commit for months and months, having ties to Seattle, and having an uncle who is a Husky Legend
2) Our top target, Vanderdoes, chose to go elsewhere. Not saying this means Tosh sucks at recruiting, just "being in the running" is not why we brought him in
3) Marcus Farria and Joe Mathis are VERY good prospects that many other teams wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole due to grade issues. Farria's only other commitable offer was to Arizona, while Mathis's only other commitable offer was to Utah. Again, very good pickups but doogs like to say "Mathis picked UW over Alabama and Farria picked UW over Notre Dame". Not anywhere near the reality of things
4) Andrew Basham had offers from no one and will never play a down for UW. If he does, the team GPA will drop by a whole point.
5) The legendary "St. T*** D** M*******" (Sorry I can't stoop to the level of idiocy to actually type that our). The two best players decommitted, one's scholarship was dropped because he sucked, and one was Basham.
To reiterate, I'm not saying Tosh sucks at recruiting and I know he had a hand with some of the other players we brought in but that's pretty average work when you come in as highly touted as a recruiter as he did. I think he's finding it a lot harder to recruit at UW than he did at Cal.
Tosh the recruiter delivered last year IMO. Tosh the coach still has a lot to prove.
Tosh has been average at best in recruiting when you compare it to the "hype".
I do subscribe to the "must get" philosophy and Hall was an MG.
I know some teams backed off Mathis, but I doubt only Utah would take him. That seems like a stretch. Also, who gives a fuck if Basham drops our team GPA? We need big DT's, and he fits the bill. It doesn't seem like we will ever see him, but he didn't have no offers. He was a decent regional recruit who didn't get much attention because of grades. Talent wise, he was a nice prospect.
Tosh like every other UW coach is more sizzle than steak. Hi Kim!
