If anything, this commitment gives Sirmon even more reason to come here since the starting job should be his pretty early on. Bridge-Gadd and Haener are now just insurance policies.FremontTroll said:
Browning staying and Sirmon making it to campus are both more likely than not but neither is 100% certain either.CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:
I agree with you, but browning will be here through the 2018 season.FremontTroll said:
This is FS. Browning and Sirmon are three years apart and of course Browning didn't redshirt. So they may not even overlap at all.Gladstone said:#BrowningSirmonBuffer
We need to hit on our QB this year. Relying on the freshman Messiah to come in and save the day is not a reliable strategy.
Sirmon will get on campus in January of 2018, redshirt that year and be ready hopefully as a RS-frosh in 2019.
Like I said, I agree that this QB recruiting stuff is bullshit but it's not like we'd have a true frosh we need to rely on. -
The '17 QB was always going to be an ins policy. DBG will be decent, and will nicely bridge Browning to Sirmon. Recruits watch each other, look at depth charts, want early PT. There are better indictments of Smith than this recruiting cycle.

I actually like this guy. Insurance policy yes, but you never know

Some people are a little too caught up in stars and offers. Watch the film. He's not an NFL prospect (small), but he's mobile, has a solid arm, solid mechanics, and looks pretty fucking good all around. Guys like this can tear it up in college. I don't give a fuck if we never recruit another NFL QB as long as he finds someone that can throw the ball to the guys in black and lavender and khaki and white.
One thing I like about his film over almost all HS QB films I've seen is how often he throws the ball hard. Too much touch pass shit going on in most QB films. Most any hack can throw it up for wide open receivers to run under, or swerve to, or stop for etc. All those lobs don't tell you if they have the knack for hitting a guy in stride when the defense forces you to throw hard. -
I don't actually care about how good the kid is, I just want Smith fired

None of this matters unless we win big this year.

If Smith stumbled into a diamond in the rough again this year then great.
The concern is that this makes two years in a row that Smith had no discernible plan for recruiting the QB position and offered and missed on nearly every big prospect on the west coast. -
Recruits also watch who their coaches are going to be.TTJ said:The '17 QB was always going to be an ins policy. DBG will be decent, and will nicely bridge Browning to Sirmon.

I could list a litany of examples of highly coveted QB recruits committing to programs with more crowded depth charts than UW. Elite schools with elite coaching staffs take an elite QB prospect every year. A good recruiter can always sell an opportunity no matter how small.
When we ended up with Derrick Brown in 2011 it was OK because we had Montana from 2010 and Lindquist coming in behind (and later Cyler.) Where would the program be if we had signed Mariota or Hundley? Probably still 7-6 but fuck.... -
Interesting that this offer went out while Tedford was in town ....whatshouldicareabout said:I don't actually care about how good the kid is, I just want Smith fired

Fuck you it wasn't a scouting report. Just my quick assessment and an attempt at objectivity to temper the uproar that occurs every time someone that USC didn't offer commits to UW.FremontTroll said:

But you're absolutely right about Smith. No argument from me there. He's a liability in every aspect.
