    No, but it is the reality of the situation.

    When was the last tim we landed the #1 DT from California? Cedric White?

    Bummed we didn't snag him but not exactly a shocker. Highest rated Cali talent is going to go to SC far more often than not.

    If we don't get Togiai I'll be pissed, that's a kid we should have just as good of a shot at as anybody does. I'm not optimistic so I'm guessing I'll be pissed. But I'll lipo until then.

    Have you looked at his twitter likes recently? TCU, USC, Oregon, OSU. He gone

    Many of us already know the end game with Togiai. I hope he shocks us and chooses UW.

    Just not seeing where the added value
    is with the Malloe hire. Doesn't add much
    from the coaching end that Kawasaki doesn't.
    Need a stud recruiter in his spot and so far
    he ain't. Hope he shows soon.

    Cause he speaks Tongan though he can't provide citizenship. So your right no added value.

    Not sure why people are upset..this kid was never coming to Washington. The USC machine is humming right now...they'll get anyone they want from the state of California.

    apparently this kid grew up with USC as his dream school.

    Togiai is the much bigger loss

    That's the frustrating thing, he isn't even considering us basically. And next year Matthew Pola-Mao will not come here too.
    Exactly... it's like he forgot about us. How do want to go to TCU and Oregon, but not Washington? Maybe 5 years ago, sure, but now?

    My TBS'ing has shown that Washington has been slowly sliding out of this race for over half a year, after starting in a decent position. Malloe is completely blowing one of the easiest key recruitments we had this year.

    If you can't build the trenches on either side then this shit will be lost.

    This is fine. We are in a rebuilding year anyway. 2024 will be special once we get the 2019 recruits onboard!

    I agree about DL coaching because of how good Kawasaki is, but Malloe could be a great coach. I don't think any of us really know.

    Position coaches are important in recruiting, but this board has an obsession with placing the blame on them when they don't get a guy. I don't entirely disagree with it, but it is simplistic.

    Nobody (myself included) would give Jonathon Smith all the credit for Yankoff and Sirmon, so why does the coach get all the blame?

    Some kids might come to a school for a position coach, but mostly it's just one of many factors. Location, winning, academis, head coach, etc.

    Malloe's recruiting is something to keep an eye on. Draco was a big get. If it's really a problem, it will be addresses like Pease and Strausser.
    Draco is a strong point in his favor (and he specifically mentioned Malloe a couple of times). Lolohea is a decent point in his favor as well, assuming he ever makes it on campus.

    We beat a ton of schools out for both of them (especially Draco).

    I don't think he's a lost cause, I'm nervous he's not capable of getting the rare big big boys though.

    But you're probably right about overblaming the position coaches.
