    He should probably fly home before he goes to bed.

    Contrarian opinion ...

    Tre'Shaun athletically should be at UW ...

    But then look at tonight's game and a guy like Kamari Pleasant going in and blocking his ass off ... anybody think he signed up for that when he decided to come to UW?

    Point being that if Tre'Shaun comes to Washington and gets slotted where the staff sees as his best fit in both college and his future NFL career, then I'm on board. But from what I'm seeing at 30k feet he has the potential to be one of those guys that wants to be a WR because he wants to avoid the physical nature of RB and doesn't want to get his hands dirty playing D. That kind of attitude at UW will just get you passed by some other elite kid willing to do more.

    Astute.

    if he is better than Lowe bring him on at wr regardless.

    Also they have catered to guys wanting to play a position other than where the staff saw them before so I find it a bit doogish to have that thought. Just recruit him to the Chico position assuming he is the elite talent he seems to be and hope he comes. Everyone on defense is recruited as a buck. This is not a new or complicated dilemma.

    It's damn near impossible to be soft on a team full of savages. We got starters flying down the field on special teams trying to kill somebody. Anybody that gets brought into this culture is going to have to be tough or get eaten alive.

    Tre'Shaun plays physical on defense. No doubt in my mind he would adjust to the physicality at RB and it doesn't hurt that Socha will bulk him up to 210+ pounds rather quickly if he puts the work in.

    I don't care what position he plays for UW. Just get his fucking signature.

    This guy understands.

    only 19% of the time,
    the other 81% is questionable
    the o/u is 5

    I can't wait until Oregon's amazing recruits jump ship.
    yep kids from florida with sec offers are gonna stick after Oregon goes 6-6. sure...

    Bullshit! Our duck friends on this bored have assured us that there is 0% chance of that happening and Taggart is nothing like Sark
    People forget taggart took over an 0-12 team, and have no idea the damage Helfrich did

    Get fucking Tre'Shaun. BONEM

    Bi-Polar @Dennis_DeYoung is the best DDY!! Allegedly he was a YUGE duck fan growing up and doesn't give a fuck about Oregon, but still BONEM.

    All kidding aside, I agree with this sentiment. I don't really care if Tre'Shaun is good or not; but no 4 Star Kid in WA should be going to fucking Oregon. It's the symbolism that matters here- i.e., if a snake comes in your backyard, you gotta cut its fucking head off. We can lower the OKG standards somewhat for in-state kids.
    I agree but if the kid is a big enough douche/clown to actually sign there, then I'll be ok with it. We gonna stomp on their nutz multiple times over his career. Also Taggart is horny AF for all his Flurrida guys so I'm not sure Tre will see the field for a few years

    You mean those Florida kids who will definitely turn down SEC offers after the Ducks go 3-7 in conference and hold true to their early commitments to live in Eugene, Oregon for 4 years?

    Agree with the fence part, but tightened the rest up a bit.

    Coker and DDY pood about it all the time: You want 4-star guys competing against other 4-star guys for PT. Let the cream rise to the top. If you have to reach in recruiting, reach for a high-ceiling guy. In pursuit of big goals, JAGs can't help you.

    If Tre'Shaun plays WR, he'll compete for PT against Ty and Ozzie and Spiker. He he plays RB, he'll compete against Salvon and McGrew. (Pleasant is a JAG. He threw two blocks. Fuck off.) If he plays DB, he'll compete against Rapp and Elijah and hopefully Kyler Gordon. The guys who win those kinds of competitions will match up against Bammer or tOSU or anybody.

    Locker room culture matters. But can anybody honestly say they've seen something to indicate Tre'Shaun would be detrimental to that? (See Victor, Azeem.) If Pete didn't believe in Tre'Shaun, he wouldn't have offered him. If he buys in, he'll earn PT and be a fucking monster. If not, he'll sit on the bench or get couched.

    Agree on everything but Pleasant. But you've nailed the larger point with TreShaun.

    To the point about Tre'Shaun buying in and proof ... he chose Oregon and the #WillieKnows hype machine over UW as a Seattle kid ...

    When you combine how toxic those same Seattle area schools are in the world of AAU hoops and that's a lot of circumstantial evidence that there's a lot of "me first" behavior in those schools/programs ...

    Choosing Oregon would suggest that there's some truth there ...

    Evidence that he's willing to be OKG would be staying home ...

    I'm right on this one until I'm not

    This is basically the point I was trying to make by saying perhaps we can lower the OKG standards a bit for 4 and 5 star in state kids- i.e., if they decide to stay home and play for Pete, this implies, at least, some level of OKGness and a willingness to buy in.
