Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Someone explain this to me...

    RB: - ?

    what

    RB recruiting.
    By what measure would you call recruiting Gaskin, McGrew/Pleasant, and Wedington/(Ahmed?) in the past 3 cycles a negative?

    RB recruiting was only ever a concern a couple years ago when Coleman and Dotson were the lone RB recruits in the 13/14 classes. It's definitely improved.

    The "-" is for the current trend and quality of RB recruit committed.

    Gaskin was in the first class, three years next signing day? Pleasant likely never plays RB - too slow, or is a non-factor. McGrew is 5'5 and I'm hearing he may be a slot. I like Ahmed a lot as a RB (what the fuck do I know tho) but the fags that follow recruiting say he ends up at DB. He hasn't committed yet and historically players that visit another school just before they announce usually pick the other school. Peterman makes a big deal recruits need to take an official visit and bring their parents before committing. Ahmed, apparently, never took an official visit. Weddington: is listed as a two-way athlete. (Hi J) is he a RB? Is he a DB?
    Knees get torn. Legs get broken. If Gaskin gets hurt on Saturday, who steps in? Dotson? Coleman? Can UW win the confrence if that happens? How about next year when Qualls, Jones, Victor, and Baker leave? Will that defense be good enough to win with the lack of quality depth at RB?
    Are you sick of the "they're young, they need more time" excuse yet?

    A lot of ?'s and a big area of concern IMO. UW is not exactly brimming with all-confrence level OL or quality OL commits in the pipeline to open holes for slow prodding backs either. They're having a hard enough time opening holes for Gaskin against JV DL.

    Lots of hypotheticals in your argument of why pulling in three (possibly four) 4* RBs in 3 years = shitty recruiting

    Is anyone surprised Babushka can't recruit?

    Has he put QB's in the NFL?

    Have his offenses been good?

    Is he a charismatic guy?

    He's a fucking geek who from all appearances has no social skills and has a shitty coaching track record.

    You also just described 81% of the people on this bored
    81% at least have some internet charisma.
    Only in your mind

    Pulling a huge loser maneuver and responding to this early. Just went to doogfarm to check Ektards rankings. Per that, Pete is looking decent, great DB recruiting (like always thanks Lake), great DT, good WR/TE and ATH spread, and then craptastic QB/OL recruiting. In state results look good now but will look like crap if we get Bryant and keep Wedington, but will look like shit if we lose either of them and Sarell, Ahmed, and Bainavulva go elsewhere.

    Anyway this is too much bullshit. Class still doesn't seem as good as when we had no hype and no ranking. WTF?

    A few thoughts

    1. UW has had a top 10 ranking for like two weeks, not sure it's reasonable to expect massive impact from that already.

    2. Peterman does not give a fuck about recruiting rankings, so even in the unlikely event UW is in the top 10 all year and finishes in the top 10, I'm not sure it will make a huge difference at UW like it would have under, say, Sark, who wanted all the highly rated guys he could get.

    3. Recruiting lag theory says the 2015 season has a bigger impact on Feb 2017 class than 2016 season. Assuming that theory holds true (and it seems fairly accurate) the REAL impact of this season (whatever that might be) won't be felt until the next recruiting class.




    Tl; dr: LIPO
    Pete may not give a fuck about rankings, but to Swaye's point he surely gives a fuck about Foster Sarrell - hence the heli ride to his high school game. We are struggling to get decent OL verbals this year, and right now it looks like Foster is headed to 'furd.
    If UW really cared about football, they'd make UW a better academic institution than Stanford, so we don't keep losing great OL players to them.
