Five, 4-star kids from a scrimmage in April is definitely new waters for us. I would imagine they can do pretty well at an actual football game during football season.
The biggest thing I took away from the Spring Gayme is Leavitt had all the guys on defense going to where they were supposed to be. Brady Hoke and his 7-gap front with 7 guys that at most would only have 5 gaps covered every play was a little tiresome. -
I will gladly concede the off-season natty title to the Ducks. We have bigger foie gras to fry.

I remember when Sark pulled this off 4 years ago. I think 3 of the 8 guys actually signed with UW, and only 1 of them (Qualls) lasted past the 1st year.

I think Sark was such an unbelievable dufus and cock sucker and moron and shit show that anybody should have to first PROVE they are his equal before it's assumed.bananasnblondes said:I remember when Sark pulled this off 4 years ago.

Kinda like assuming a QB from Notre Dame will be the next Joe Montana before he's had a chance to prove it, only on the other side of the spectrum. In each case, it's statistically unlikely anybody will be the next Joe Montana or the next Steve Sarkisian.
People that bad don't just fall out of the sky every day you know. He was a speshul kind of dipshit - the sort that doesn't come around every day.
I really don't know that much about Taggart. He reminds me of the Dallas Carter coach in Friday Night Lights - complete with Lolly Pop.
But like I said - the one guy I do know about is Cristobal. People bring him on staff to recruit because he can. -

I wonder what ever happened to Potasi Moala or whatever that kids name was who jumped ship as soon as he got another offerdnc said:

It's nice. Hopefully these kids stick. 5 4-stars in 24 hours is kind of unprecedented for us? even when we? were good.
One thing I've heard is that this is part of the reason Taggart cleaned house, was because the old staff, and everyone connected with all that program continuity approached recruiting with a "aw shucks we're little Oregon, and we're just happy to be a hat on the table" attitude. Taggart's approach is that Oregon is a blue-chip program with blue-chip facilities, blue-chip donor support, and blue-chip coffee cups.
Taggart brought 30 4* and 5* guys to Eugene for the Spring gayme, on unofficial visits. That in itself impresses me. Now he got almost a quarter of them to commit, same day, impresses me even moar. I know Leavit and Cristobal can coach. So, this has me feeling pretty happy. -
