Recruiting expectations

Top 3 in conference. Good linemen.
That's always my expectation. -
The expectations have already been set by the level of recruiting at every other position.
What are the only two positions at which we haven't landed any of our top targets in the last two classes? QB and OT.
At least we have Sirmon coming in next year... -
Fair enough. Problem is, I can remember one year in the past 7-8 that I felt good about the OL recruiting.Dennis_DeYoung said:Top 3 in conference. Good linemen.

Yeah, our OL recruiting sucks. No two ways about it.
If we finish with Ford and Norgaard it's not an abject disaster (look at Seawards film if you want to get upset) because these guys are not John Turner fuckbags, but we should have gotten AVT, Fozzy AND those dudes.
Still, as @CokeGreaterThanPepsi, @Tequilla and I will detail on our next pod, there are reasons to be optimistic about that (especially given that Strausser can coach).
However last year was a nightmare and the year prior is not looking so hot either. 2014 we took 5 and only 1 is a lock starter going into their RS-Jr year so that's, um, not good either.
Anyone have a gun? -
If we don't get Ford or Norgaard. We are royally fucked. If I were Jacob Sirmon, I would be like "fix this shit or I decomit".Dennis_DeYoung said:Yeah, our OL recruiting sucks. No two ways about it.

Yeah no shit man. I am still so incredibly pissed about Foster and the like. This class is so great minus a midget QB and one solid OL. Fuck you Foster!Dennis_DeYoung said:Yeah, our OL recruiting sucks. No two ways about it.

Ugh. This is the shitty part. Freaking everyone is offering the same OL as backups to the studs they missed on, so there's no guarantee we get both. And we couldn't have waited much longer to offer.WeakarmCobra said:

I have reason to believe we get them both.tvoie said:

Now, if we get some fucking miracle and sign a top OL prospect too I will go crazy.
But I think there's good reason to believe both are very high on UW. -
You and me both man. Any one of FS, Jackson, or Davis and I would do backflips.Dennis_DeYoung said:

I may be fooled, but I've always been of the mind that OL recruiting is something you build over time. I have been disappointed with some of the misses we've had lately but I strongly feel that it is a position group where you have to prove your worth as a coach and program (more importantly) first, then the kids take notice. The fact is, UW just had their first first-team o-linemen in like 15 years. IF UW has the same success in the upcoming years on the field, I would be willing to bet top dollar that the lamentations of OL recruiting will be a thing of the past.Dennis_DeYoung said:Yeah, our OL recruiting sucks.
