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

A Huge Red-Flag No One is Talking About

Right now, 1 guy from this state is committed to UW. At this point during past recruiting years:

2009: 7
2010: 7
2011: 3
2012: 4

The in-state recruits have voted.

    So what? I hear there's a bumper crop next year. Go for a walk and get some perspective.

    I don't know much about recruiting but I always got the impression that the high school coaches had a pretty big impact on where players go. If that's true they've have fucking voted.

    The kids think Sark is a dickhead.

    Simple fact.

    I think the more important number to look at is how many 3, 4 or 5 star in-state recruits have come to UW under Sark. The above numbers are thrown off a bit with some of the 2-star, late addition type commits.

    There isn't going to be any new coach. Woodward will never fire Sark unless his own job security is in question.

    There isn't going to be any new coach. Woodward will never fire Sark unless his own job security is in question they stop selling tickets.

    It's all about ticket sales - Just ask the Mariners. Someone smarter than me said in another thread that the Huskies are the new Mariners. They are right.

    Isn't that largely saying the same thing?

    Sark isn't throwing rides out like recruiting letters. He doesn't have 25 to work with, and this state is Weeeaak with talent this year. Settle down and be patient. Next year is Sarks year

    Absolutely - I'm not disagreeing with you at all. Just adding the second layer. And venting my frustration at the Huskies being equated with the Mariners.

    All the more reason to fire Sark after this season that is already over. Tanking a small recruiting class is the ideal timing.

    as I mentioned previously, Sark is going nowhere until Woody is gone.

    The one glimmering hope I had was that Woody would join Emmert at the NCAA but Emmert has gone and fucked that up for us now.

    I don't care if the players come from Jupiter as long as we get the best guys.

    Do they have the interwebs on Jupiter?

    The fence boards Sark is using already has termites in it

    Was that Morgan Rosborough in that GIF?

    Simple fact.

    I know a few players who actually played for him and they hate him. They also said he trashes on guys to the draft why Polk was undrafted and Foster fell to the 3rd.

    Basically he treated Locker like a god and everyone else like shit.

    This Doog perception that the kids love him is just plain bullshit like it was bullshit with Ty.

    Damn! Even Auburn Doog will wait until after the two game winning streak to get back on the "Wait til next year" for Sark bandwagon.

    Congrats you are a bigger doog than Aubbie!

    Oh and don't forget to light yourself on fire! ;-)

    It's the ugly Nike boutique in UW unis that's turned the in-state kids off. Where's the Purple? Where the fuck is the Gold? Sark's all-white BYU coogloser look is truly a turnoff to anybody and the all-black with heliotrope stripes was....... truly gay.

    Seriously, the best kids aren't stupid about what will best serve their futures as football playing student-athletes and the in-state prospects are too close to the truth of SarkBall. OL recruits are not just the most sought after by the better programs, but as a group, they tend to be the smartest and more difficult to sell on mediocrity.

    Now to be truly serious, if it's getting more difficult each year for instate scholars to gain admittance to the University of Washington in deference to higher tuition paying non-resident scholars, should not the same bias be applied to student athletes.... even though it wouldn't make sense?

    It's kind of the natural progress of things. It's been discussed in an HHB podcast (huh?) regarding Tedford.

    New coach comes in, players like the change, buy into his message, they improve their play, and win more often than they did with the previous coach.

    Coach recruits his own players, players hear the same message over and over again, players start to make fun of coach behind his back, some even do a great job impersonating the coach, players get sick of coach's bullshit - real or perceived, players quit playing for the coach because they can't stand him, coach gets fired.

    Repeat.

    Doesn't matter if they like him or not. Wins are all that matters. If tedford could have ever developed a qb after Rogers he would still be at cal with a statue of himself.

    Agree I don't care if they like him but the Doog perception is the players like Sark just like they supposedly liked Ty even though they didn't.

    Sark is a two faced asshole who also can't coach. He's an embarrassment to our fucking program and should have been fired after 2011, 2012 and now 2013.

    not sure, but I hear Jupiterites have good hip development from the gravity differences.
