But by the time you realize, "Oh no, our OL sucks again!" it is way too fucking late to fix it via better recruiting.RoadDawg55 said:The last post I'll make about this for awhile because we obviously aren't going to agree.
The difference between the dogman "sky is not falling bullshit" is that we aren't .500 like we always were back then. We are undefeated and favored to win the rest of our games.
Our OL has gotten markedly better from last year, which normally means the coach is developing players. That didn't happen under Sark/Cozzetto. It has happened under Strausser and Pete. Coaches that develop their unit into the best in the conference deserve the benefit of the doubt. Simple fact.
So the sky isn't really falling, whether we get Sarrell or not. Any 5 star from the state is needed, but we might still have a good OL without Sarrell. That was never going to happen by not getting Garnett and the other guys Sark missed. If you can't see those differences, I can't help you. Things fucking change, and it's okay to admit it when they have.
@Gladstone, I followed TBS for years as a teenager and in my early 20's, but it's creepy to follow as a 30, 40 year old man. All is well for Husky Football right now.

You kinda get it, and kinda don't. Wanting to be good in two years AS WELL as this year is like two sides of the same fucking coin.

No fucking shit players matter. Is water wet too?
You want a coach that can recruit and coach? What a fucking novel concept. I want a QB like DeShaun Watson and a RB like Fournette, but I'm not going to complain about Browning and Gaskin.
Everyone here wants Sarrell. The retarded part of this is getting mad that we "might" not have a great OL three years from now when we have all the pieces needed to get to the playoffs THIS fucking year. We have the OL to win the conference THIS fucking year. But continue to spaz out over the OL coach because some teenager might not come to UW.
I hated Petersen until this year, but I can't bitch about an undefeated coach. I can't bitch about the OL coach of the best OL of the conference because he might not get Sarrell.
If we win big the next two years, recruiting will take care of itself. Winning helps. He's not committing for a long time anyways and we have an undefeated team. The future has always been for doogs.

The concern is that, for the second year in a row, it looks like they are going to miss out on nearly all their top targets.
Once they get to campus I also trust CP and Strausser to get the most out of their players. But I want an OLine that can win national championships not conference championships. -
I don't even really know how you can really evaluate OLine at a HS level. Most Dtackles in HS are fucking tiny. To me it should be more about getting some big strong fuckers to really coach up.

It is Doog 101 but it is also true - O line translates least well to college ball
Noted 7 wide out recruiting coach Rick Neuheisel brought in the top ranked class of O linemen one year. People forget that because they were all busts. The best of the bunch never played a down due to injury.
I'll take 5 stars any day but if a kid is 6 foot 5 300 pounds with a nasty attitude and a love of HGH we can work with him
Bama and Ohio State dominate recruiting at the D line, linebacker, running back and wide out categories. I'm all for joining in on that action.
You know what the big question mark for Bama this year was? The O line and quarterback
But Nick coaches them up every year. -

BAMA signed 12 Scout top300 players on the OL in the last five years. Six top100.
And it's not even about the stars. It is about signing the guys that CP and Strausser identify as our top targets.
If we whiff on our top 5 guys I don't give a flying fuck if the sixth guy is a 4* or a 2*. -
And that is a scorching hot take.doogie said:Fozzy = Nick Montana.

As far as OL recruiting goes, my primary complaint at this point is more about numbers and class balance than quality. And the decisions on numbers are more of a Petersen thing than a Strausser thing, I think.
All ratings are from Scout
2014
James 3-star
Sosebee 2-star
Turner 2-star
Burleson 2-star
McGary 4-star (don't know if the staff saw him as an OL or a DL, but he is an OL now)
Class average: 2.6 stars
Obviously the quality in 2014 was disappointing, but Petersen and staff were left scrambling to fill up that class. Getting McGary was huge. Sosebee is contributing. The others are crap until proven otherwise. Probably about what you could expect at this stage from a class with a 2.6 star average.
2015
Roberts 4-star
Hilbers 3-star
Adams 4-star
Class average: 3.67 stars
Adams is a stud. Roberts and Hilbers haven't done anything yet, and Roberts is still 3rd string, but they are both RS-Freshmen. A little worrisome, but it is still early.
2016
Harris 3-star (low 3-star, was probably a 2-star until UW offered)
Wattenberg 4-star
Class average: 3.5 stars
Harris has played and been effective, quite unexpectedly.
2017
n/a
So the 2014 class was poor, from a perceived (and probably actual) talent perspective, but it isn't really a fair evaluation of Petersen or Strausser's recruiting.
In 2015 & 2016 combined, they signed five OLs, three of whom were 4-stars and two of whom were 3-stars. That is basically on par with the overall talent ranking of the rest of those classes, excluding kickers and long snappers.
2017...obviously anxities are high.
If we look at 2015 & 2016 as the only complete and fair data sets to evaluate, the recruiting at the OL position group isn't obviously deficient relative to the talent that is being brought in at other positions. Small sample size and all that, but there isn't really anything else to look at.

This thread is @DeadDogOnTheRoad at his finest ...
I don't disagree with having some levels of LIPO matters a bit here ...
I also agree with the point that @RaceBannon made that OL recruiting can be a giant crapshoot as it is the hardest to look forward on with regards to player development, weight room training, etc.
That being said when you're recruiting guys that are almost sure fire 1st round picks in the NFL with the right player development and some of them are located in the backyard .. you need to keep those kids at home ... and the reason why is because the surest way to make sure that you have a consistently high caliber team is to be dominant on both sides of the line.
The reality is that the numbers we've recruited on the OL aren't where they need to be in the years past and going forward. They are dangerously thin. You could probably get away with that if you are recruiting studs and have no issues with player development and depth. But if you're trying to get projects ready to play before they are ready the results can be a disaster.
There's nothing that can short circuit a talented team more than having a shit OL ... that's why people are worried because they can see that possibility down the road coming to fruition -

Jesus, Roadie... Generally you do the lord's work on these boards and you're often one of my favorite classy poasters, but this is some truly illogical and malinformed bullshit you're spouting here... Here are five reasons why.
1. As someone already pointed out... Enjoying the current success and keeping an eye towards the future is not, and never has been, mutually exclusive. That's a bizarre fucking argument.
2. Our OL has been a steaming barrel of monkey semen the last two years, and quite frankly, was pretty underwhelming during the preseason this year. They've really turned it on the last two games, but I think we can all agree that this came against Oregon and Stanford teams that can hardly be considered vintage by recent standards. So to me, the jury is still out on Strausser as an OL coach and developer of talent.
3. The jury is certainly in, however, on Strausser as a recruiter. Strausser couldn't recruit Spooge to a fucking NAMBLA rally. The OL numbers the last few years have not been good, 3 OL in 2015, 2 OL in 2016, and so far (with very few spots remaining) 0 OL in 2017. This is going to cause problems in the future, whether you want to acknowledge it or not.
4. It's not just that Fozzy is probably going to The Farm (ILTCITF, IWILTD), but that we also whiffed on every other top OL target this year... Vera Tucker, Wyatt Davis, Forsyth etc.
5. Finally, hanging out around a recruiting message board, then judging and belittling the people who express strong opinions about the very topic the message board caters to, is some truly Grinolds'esque shit. Nobody was clamoring for your opinion on this subject, and if you're that offended that people are upset about OL recruiting, then you probably don't need to keep poasting.
Perhaps you could take advantage of this crisp fall Tuesday and enjoy a long walk on the beach instead. It's possible that as you breath in the salty air and listen to the gentle, ryhthmic crashing of the waves against the sun-baked sand, some perspective might very well be gained.

It's important to remember that UW only lost 1 OL after the 2015 season (Tifunga) and will lose only two after 2016 (Eldrenkamp and Brostek) so losing 2 means you replace their scholarships with 2 or 3 (can't remember if Kneip is on scholarship).
I think the staff will get Henry B (OT) and the Sacramento OG (Orlando Umana) with Sarrell TBD, which makes for 2 or 3 OL. -
I'm with @RoadDawg55 on this one.
A bunch of Doogman Grinolds followers are being exposed on this thread. Anyone who wants to get rid of Strausser because he's whiffed on some big names is fucking retarded. I see young talent emerging, great fundamentals, a vision, a plan, and the reality that once guys like Trey, Mcgeary, and yes Nick harris start receiving hardware and getting drafted the tide will turn with the more touted players.
We've only been good for 0.5 seasons. The lag effect will take hold and the Fosters and Garnetts of the world will come to UW.
Until then Pete is going to do what he's always done, take OKGs, win games, and get them playing on sundays. -

Petersen is in charge of how many OLs the team recruits and has on scholarship. I would prefer another couple slots be allocated to OL, but that is his prerogative and while I am uncomfortable with it, he has been doing this a while.
If we can agree that 2014 wasn't representative, then when you look at the perceived quality (based on star rating) of the OLs they got in the 2015 and 2016 classes...there isn't an issue.
Obviously the jury is still out on 2017.
-
It isn't that anybody is specifically advocating that Strausser be fired or suggesting that his OL isn't playing well ...
The point is that so far the evidence is suggesting that Strausser is having a hard time CLOSING on the recruits he has targeted ... WHY???
BTW, the last time we saw this was at the WR position and Brett Pease ... make a change to #MyBush and we've arguably got our best WR recruiting class in years
Biggest difference here is that Pease was a shitty recruiter and coach ... at this point we can really only conclude that Strausser may very well be a shitty recruiter but is at worst an average OL coach ... that makes Pease vs Strausser a very apples and oranges difference -

If we got Eletise last year and AVT or Sarrell this year then everyone would be like Fonzie around here. But we did not, we will not, and we are not.
We laughed at Sark for always portraying his 7-6 teams as being just a few plays from 10 wins but technically that was true. These are small samples and narrow margins we are dealing with. The thing is though that Sark always ignored all the bounces that did go his way and all the deficiencies in his rosters that set us up for failure. Those saying that everything will be fine with the OL no matter who we recruit are using similarly fallacious reasoning. -
Dennis told me all our players are garbage and we're going to win the natty. I now have trust issues with his evaluation skills

A bunch of Doogman Grinolds followers are being exposed on this thread. Anyone who wants to get rid of Strausser because he's whiffed on some big names is fucking retarded. I see young talent emerging, great fundamentals, a vision, a plan, and the reality that once guys like Trey, Mcgeary, and yes Nick harris start receiving hardware and getting drafted the tide will turn with the more touted players.
We've only been good for 0.5 seasons. The lag effect will take hold and the Fosters and Garnetts of the world will come to UW.
Until then Pete is going to do what he's always done, take OKGs, win games, and get them playing on sundays.
That said, #mybush didn't need a bunch of wideouts to get drafted or become All Americans before he went out and locked down a really solid class. Coffee is for closers, and you can either sell or you can't. If we're paying attention to trends... the OL recruiting hasn't been great the last few years - it may turn out to be nothing, but it's something to keep an eye on.
Besides the teen boi shit... I just haven't been that impressed with the coaching job Strausser's done to this point. Maybe the o-line really did turn a corner the last two weeks... but the previous two years it was a fucking liability. And while at other positions, you saw guys who were always dogshit suddenly turn into contributers, I haven't really noticed that happening on the OL.
He's had three years with Brostek, and that guy seems just as fucking useless as when Strausser got here. And I know linemen take longer to develop... but it'd be nice, after three years in the program, to see guys like Sosssebeeeee, James, or Turner (all guys Strausser recruited) flashing even a little.
That said, Adams and Mcgary have really been on point lately, and Strausser has to get some credit for that.
Anyhoo... Pete knows far more about this shit than I do, and he loves Strausser. And after we run the table and skullfuck Colorado (or whoever) in the championship game and Mcgeeary & Adams are both all-american's and Nick Harris suddenly looks like the second coming of Benji Olson, I'm gonna look like a fucking asshole. Time to go back to silent contemplation.

If we're paying attention to trends... the OL recruiting hasn't been great the last few years - it may turn out to be nothing, but it's something to keep an eye on.
Besides the teen boi shit... I just haven't been that impressed with the coaching job Strausser's done to this point. Maybe the o-line really did turn a corner the last two weeks... but the previous two years it was a fucking liability. And while at other positions, you saw guys who were always dogshit suddenly turn into contributers, I haven't really noticed that happening on the OL.
He's had three years with Brostek, and that guy seems just as fucking useless as when Strausser got here. And I know linemen take longer to develop... but it'd be nice, after three years in the program, to see guys like Sosssebeeeee, James, or Turner (all guys Strausser recruited) flashing even a little.
That said, Adams and Mcgary have really been on point lately, and Strausser has to get some credit for that.
Anyhoo... Pete knows far more about this shit than I do, and he loves Strausser. And after we run the table and skullfuck Colorado (or whoever) in the championship game and Mcgeeary & Adams are both all-american's and Nick Harris suddenly looks like the second coming of Benji Olson, I'm gonna look like a fucking asshole. Time to go back to silent contemplation.
gunt.
