    After reading DDY I thought our entire roster would be shit this year so I am surprised at just about every player

    My favorite part of the offseason is the brain of @Dennis_DeYoung as the months go by:

    January: No one wants to come to Washington, everything fucking sucks, recruits hate us.
    February: Class turned out really good. Minus the OL.
    March: I really think we can go 11-1 again this year.
    April: God our guys look great physically at Spring Practices. Socha is so fucking good.
    May: 11-1 is still looking good, I think we'll be in the Playoff picture again.
    June: 9-3 is most likely, Jake Browning is still our QB.
    July: 7-5 is where I see us, we suck again.
    August: 4-8 if a few bounces go our way. Where is the nearest tree?


    We need some to graph this on a chart. @Dardanus? @TheChart? We need your assistance here.

    I'm rarely anything but optimistic about recruits so I'm kinda drawing a blank.

    I can think of a few I didn't like:

    Sonny Shackleford: actually turned out pretty good.

    Corey Williams: I was right. He sucked.

    Brandon Johnson: think he ended up involved in a murder or some shit.

    Wilson Afoa: He sucked.

    Kenny James: He sucked

    May have been a few others. It's a lot easier to think of my misses that went the other way. I think the bottom line is that, if I say they suck then they suck. If I say they don't suck then there's still a high likelihood that they suck.

    For old timers the Wonder Twins were a huge bust. Along with Damon Huard they were going to be the next generation that carried on after Hobart, Bailey and McKay

    Jason Shelly and the other guy

    Shelly wasn't bad, it was the rape in his eyes that ruined him. That'll getcha when you spend time in Eugene. He did play for cowboys though I think.

    Other than Lawyer Milloy, that whole recruiting class was unfilled potential. Ink Aleaga and Bob Sapp turned into good players and Dave Janoski was fine, but the rest of it underachieved.

    Curtis Bogan looked like he could be a monster OLB. Never did Jack Squat.

    Hernan Santiago looked like a bad ass MLB or FB (with scary prison/street gang style tats--before tats were mainstream). Nothing.

    Shelley was amazing, but he kept it too real with his sexual predator thing and may have actually done time.

    Joe Wells got like six votes on the Long Beach Press Telegram Best in the West poll and I have no idea if he ever played.

    I have done way too much cocaine because I only recognize two names off that entire post.

    There are probably only three whose names you should recognize: Milloy, Aleaga and Sapp.

    I'd say so long as one of the two you know is Milloy, you're probably fine.

    I remembered all of these guys except for Wells, but I have been a TBS nerd since I was a TB.

    Shelley, the pride of Vallejo... if I recall, he punched someone in the face during a pickup game I think at Denny field.

    Dotson is from Vallejo too (American Canyon). Coincidence?????

    Shelley made one big play. Too drunk too remember, but yeah.

    If you have recruited any white receivers or running backs it's fair to assume they won't ever contribute.

    Every time I read about somebody getting punched during a pick up game I laugh at @Tequilla's post about Tank Johnson holding his arms as another player punched him.
    Is it safe to say that tequila called an offensive foul after this sequence.

    Hunter Renfro and Ryan Switzer say Hi! Did you know Renfro was a walk-on with no D1 offers!?!?

    The only other guys I can remember in that class were Lynn Johnson from Mt. Rainier and David Ritchie from somewhere in Vancouver. Pretty thin year for in state recruiting.

    Yep, Milloy and Sapp were the two I recognized. Going back to cocaine now.

    Ritchie was from Kelso. He ended up in the league for a few years and won a Super Bowl.

    More importantly he won an XFL championship.

    I believe Santiago's nick name was freight train. Was supposed to be the shit. Then was shit.

    Bogan was a massive bust. Was on the cover of Sports Washington with Milloy.

    There shit players in those classes.

    Always liked Janoski. Scrappy little dude.

    Cedric White never signed, big time Compton d tackle. 92 class sucked.

    Ty Fotheringill had some of the best high school highlights I have ever seen. Seriously. Unreal.

    But the Doobie got ahold of him.

    Jayson Bass should have been a husky great but chose baseball instead.

    Javon McCoy total bust from O'dea i believe.

    Ty was a Doog legend right there with Shane Fortney

    Fortney would have been a good a player, but some guy named Tui was better. Don't blame him for leaving.

    Too bad we never got to see Grady Sizemore run the offense.

    Janowski was a gritty player. Undersized white receivers are often the first too be forgotten with the exception of "Joe the Toe".

    I believe Cedric White was a perfect 10 on the Best in the West list. If not, he got nine votes.

    For you young'uns, before the internet, we got our TBS information from little-circulated newspapers and magazines. The Long Beach Press Telegram Best in the West list was the go to source for the top recruits in the Western US. They actually had votes from Pac-10 coaches, if I am not mistaken. I believe they annonymously voted on who the top prospects were. So a guy who got 10 of 10 votes could be assumed to have offers from every school in the Pac-10. There weren't too many of them.

    The other biggie was the Parade All-American list. Parade was a "magazine" that was basically junk filler in the Sunday paper. Total garbage, like a coupon circular or NY Times Magazine.

    tl;dr I'm old.

    It actually gave you something to look forward to. Those lists were awesome.
