We? have only been nationally relevant and good for 1 year. Before that, Sark brought some sizzle to the program - he was a shit coach but did enough and talked enough that the idiot media (Hi Herbie!) bought into him.NEsnake12 said:
Also think of it this way... nothing about UW was cool in any way, shape, or form when these kids were growing up. We've only been an elite program again for 1 year. Hell I graduated high school in 2013 and barely knew shit about UW football because they were so irrelevant.jhfstyle24 said:
Exactly. These kids were growing up in a world where UW sucked. The recruits of today were 9 or so when we? went 0-12. UW being good is pretty new to them.WeakarmCobra said:Being a shit program for 15 years does not help.
Meanwhile... USC is USC. And when you look at a team like Oregon, despite how easy it is for us to laugh about their 100000 uniform combinations, that kind of stuff is EXACTLY what middle school age kids find cool and edgy. The class of 2018 was in middle school and early high school while Oregon was dominant from 2010-14, which makes those kids (like Tre'Shaun) fall in love with Oregon and dream about playing for Oregon when they grow up... not UW.
And like @Mad_Son said... kids are really stupid. It's harder for them to think about a college choice logically and get over their biases for USC and Oregon and others like that. So even though UW may be a better option, and a lot of kids like Elijah Molden see that, many are still drawn to those schools that were popular and cool while they grew up.
Those 7th, 8th and 9th graders started paying attention to UW because of the sizzle. They're idiot kids and couldn't recite much about the program at the time because they were out doing idiot kid stuff.
