Basically true!

Won't UW in some way always not have what seems to be a "Top Class" because Petersen is so advent on not caring about the star system? and these classes are ranked off stars? Petersen knows what he is looking for and what he is looking for won't necessarily work at every other Uni. Maybe I am wrongDennis_DeYoung said:Basically true!

Pete offers most of the guys everybody else thinks is elite. As time goes on and UW establishes itself as the top or at worst a top 2 program in the west he'll get more and more of those guys.DodgyBloke said:

There will probably always be a Taylor Rapp who Pete loves but the sites whiff on or even a Victor Curne sprinkled in there, but there will gradually become fewer three stars at UW as Pete gets into position to get more of the guys who fit his OKG profile and happen to have offers from everybody else.
The bigger factor is that Pete will probably never be taking a 25 man class so his class rankings will be artificially suppressed because of that. -
Black Sark is selling the exact same thing his white counterpart was selling when he got here.

It's not that Petersen "doesn't care" about the stars. The reason he came to UW was because he wanted to scale what he was doing at Boise but with bigger and better talent. Now he certainly doesn't dwell on recruiting rankings but the best kids are the best kids so he will offer the same recruits everyone else does. He wants to find the kids who fit his system who have that top tier talent.DodgyBloke said:

So yes Petersen won't be going to rivals, scout, or 247 to keep up where kids are ranked but its not like he is going to ignore the players on those lists. -
Oregon recruits well because they have really good salesman, I applaud them for that. As our actual duck says we will understand more about them when we see how they develop talent. Most of our staff sells well too, not at the Oregon level, but Pete and his staff are, without question, elite talent evaluators and developers. And we have one of the top 3-5 strength coaches in the country.

Oregon is a better brand than UW. That doesn't change over night. We warned UW of this
1015 years ago.
Petermen really looks like he was the man for the times with his ability to WAC recruit and develop -
