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

Abraham Lucas

Getting my Friday night TBS on and came across this guy. Coog commit from Archbishop Murphy that may be defecting to Cal. Watched the film and thought he looked good.

I realize UW can't take everyone, but what was the deal with him? 24/7 has him rated higher than Bainivulu although Bain has a much more impressive offer list.

    Very Old Testament name. @jecornel would not approve.

    I know Dennis was a fan of his. He's not as good as 247 says (I think they have him higher rated than AVT too). I'd rather have Ford and Norgaard, but if we miss on Ford I'd be ok with offering him. I agree he has good film.

    Regardless, he shouldn't go to WSU.

    I forgot about AVT. USC really took our lunch money this year.

    You can't win a natty with WSU recruits as your building blocks.

    Or you can and just develop the players like what Petersen did at BSU

    Mike Leach and his staff are pretty decent at developing their recruits, and 8 wins is the ceiling. Have to move to the next level of talent.

    This ain't the WAC anymore.

    The other issue with this is, Pete is a great game day coach. So when he played the big guys he had his team ready, and mostly came out ahead. But he played a season schedule full of mid-low tier teams. Pac12 conference play is a whole different game, as well as the playoffs. To survive a nine game conference schedule, plus playoffs, and pre season quality teams (necessary for top four post season play), you need depth, and good depth. Recruiting is the number one for depth.

    This is something that people forget. Those teams with a few 4 stars sprinkled could have won a title.

    Another thing people forget is that if those roster had 75% 4-star kids they would've killed everyone.

    If your roster is over 50% 4star, you should be a fucking powerhouse.

    Check out the star levels for the CFP teams. The Dawgs had by far the fewest highly rated players. Which in turn means we don't have the depth needed to be competitive year in and year out on a national level yet. Keep adding more 4 stars than 3 stars a year and that problem will take care of itself.

    Prime Example: Nick Harris had a nice year but who did he beat out? Oh yeah right, nobody. Coulda used some extra depth / talent so we wouldn't be stuck playing undersized true freshmen. Or at the very least he's beating someone oit that can make him earn it. That type of depth will help is compete at the end of the year, once the season has taken its toll.

    You are right, but the starting defense, which was a championship level defense had only two 4 star guys.

    Budda and Qualls.

    At the end of the day, just win.

    I know Dennis was a fan of his. He's not as good as 247 says (I think they have him higher rated than AVT too). I'd rather have Ford and Norgaard, but if we miss on Ford I'd be ok with offering him. I agree he has good film.

    If DDY is out, I'm out.

    Pretty sure Lambo was ruining stuff for all of us back when DDY came out.

    Daeshon Hall - had that idiot come to UW he probably be a 2-3 round pick.

    Once USC starts stealing your lunch money it's time to blow the whole thing up and re-eavluate your process. Unacceptable.
