Bar raised for recruiting also needs to happen

Dennis, I respect your view point. What should Pete be doing differently in recruiting BESIDES firing Strausser?

Tequila, maybe you can tweet Pete and offer to coach him to sniff out a 17 year old bullshitter when you can take some time from running your multi million dollar company.
You are all busted up about Weddington? Seriously? Holy fuck dude.

You two whiny bitches were droning on and on about how fozzy was never coming to Washington.

We missed on our top 7 QBs two years in a row. We missed on 6 of our 7 top offensive linemen. We didn't even get a visit from a Poly DL in Utah (who was considering us) after we hired a Poly DL coach from Utah. And then we got out-flanked on two recruits this year (Wedington and Marlon).

And fuck talking about what he can do BESIDES firing Straußer. Losing AVT and Fozzy is a complete disaster. We are already coming to Straußer's aid in recruiting because he's so incompetent and we obviously know it's a big problem.

Losing back to back 5-star players in state is a total disaster... and it wasn't mitigated by hitting on a guy like Wyatt Davis or AVT.

But what's worse is that you are just Seattle-ing out... "we'll be FINE!!!" "Fozzy grew up loving Stanford, there was NOTHING ANYONE could do!!" "Blame no one! Everything is inevitable!!"

It's just bullshit. High standards go for both on-field performance and recruiting.

The difference between us and USC/Alabama is recruiting. We have a way better coach than USC, so for us to raise ourselves to elite, the reality is we have to hit on better kids.

Getting kids like Gaye, Tryon, Ford, and Norgaard (physically rare underrecruited guys) is also important, but our #1 position of need this year is OL and we missed on 6 out of our realistic top 7. That is a fucking disaster.

This recruiting season is a lot like our on-field season: it's really good, but in the end we aren't very close to the top.

So, yeah, it's a pretty good class and all that, but can we quit with the fucking Doog 'everything will be fine' bullshit?
