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?CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:
That's the frustrating thing, he isn't even considering us basically. And next year Matthew Pola-Mao will not come here too.dnc said: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.
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.

That's certainly how it appears. If that holds up throughout the process than it's a major failure on Malloe's part. Poly DT, from the northwest, position of great need, down year at the position elsewhere...you damn sure need to do everything to get him.CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:

Signs are not encouraging.
Poly Mao is going SC of course, that's just how it goes.
All this does is illustrate what a massive loss Marlon was. A kid we had a great shot at, not from Cali, loved us enough to commit, and got snatched away last minute. It's going to sting for awhile. -
Nansen on this list who got money for the bump off?

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

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.RoadDawg55 said:

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. -
Malloe is a fucking god awful recruiter. Tufele and Togiai are kids he's known since they were Frosh. Not even a VISIT from Tufele, loses Marlon at the end and looks like Togiai won't even come up here during the spring.
That's about as bad as we can be doing.
Bynum is a good player, but didn't have any big time offers, so we were obviously his best option.
