    We get DDY’s point. If these Seattle public schools were churning out a ton of PAC 12 guys, it would be a problem. It’s an overreaction because they don’t and probably never will.

    How many metro players are on UW? Not many.

    Something went on with Harrison’s recruitment. I wish we were getting him, but it’s obviously a strange case.

    Smalls is a big time recruit. We offered him as a freshman. He still has over a year until he commits and around two years until he signs. Things change in recruiting all the time

    Rational posts ruin threads.

    As long as we're winning, kids will want to play for us, especially local kids. In order for us to win, we have to take the best talent we can, and much of that is often out of state. I don't get the sense even for a second that Pete prefers out of state kids. If anything we probably give them a slight bump up our board.

    I'd much rather we win and have a couple local coaches bitch and moan than return to the dark decade of the '00s where we sucked, we couldn't get any west coast talent, but we offered white cornerbacks from West Seattle HS to make local coaches happy.

    If UW keeps winning 10- 12 games per year and continues to be a legit CFP contender, the elite in-state kids will come here. Winning football games trumps all this other fucking minutia.

    Fucking this.

    There's nothing wrong with a UW offer being exclusive.
