    Does Kirkland have fluid hips? Does he prefer cleans over bicep curls?

    Has TSIO purchased the URL: firestrausser.org yet?

    Lastly, what are the market conditions for late surprises? And I mean good surprises.

    These are things I need to know pronto.

    I didn't know Strausser was that out of favor. He has missed on a decent amount of guys but nabbed at least one 4 star guy in each of class (2014-2017).

    His biggest misses have been Sarrell and Thockmorton though Sarrell wanted to go to Stanford since 8th grade (when he wrote that love letter to them). Eletise hurt too, can't believe he hitched his wagon to Dick Rod's merry crew. Wonder if he would've beaten out Nick Harris to start at RG.

    I don't see Strausser going anywhere anytime soon so it will be interesting to see what happens with the big 2018 OL from Fife (UW hasn't offered him) and this Portland OL:

    Actually Kirkland may be visiting UCLA this weekend so he might stick with UCLA.

    I don't see Kirkland being a miss because he committed to UCLA pretty darn early and to uber-recruiter Klemm (was he fired for shady recruiting or not being a good coach?).

    I'm not willing to say Strausser sucks or should be fired, at least yet. The OL has gotten better every year under him and Nick Harris starting at RG as a true frosh is more of an indictment of the previous staff's recruiting (Brostek and Andrew Kirkland weren't able to keep him on the bench redshirting).

    Is he an outstanding coach "on field"? Yes.

    Is he an atrociously bad recruiter? Yes.

    Okay, we all agree.

    Now the cost/benefit can be discussed.
    Don't think the recruiting problem would be as bad if we didn't also have an OC with the personality of dried glue. You could probably get by with one or the other, but both are killing OL recruiting.
    As bad as OL recruiting is - and it's bad - QB recruiting is a lot worse. So I don't want to play namby pamby whack-a-mole on whose fault it is.

    If there were more in state kids, if UW had never hired Gilby... there are a lot of ifs. I know this: Strausser can't recruit his way out of a paper bag.

    I don't think Smith has any fucking thing to do with it as it didn't seem to slow Hamdan down much this year.
    We should be very happy that Sirmon's as much of a UW lock as there can be ... otherwise we'd be literally fucked after Browning graduates.
    QBs more than any other position seem to get slotted at school.
    ¿Porque?
