People forget that Jawann Oldhamm, carl Ervin and Eli carter committed to Seattle U from Cleveland HS. People forget that. -
If these high school coaches don’t start producing Scholarship offers to the schools the Kids want, the Good talent will start listening to other offers and their One-Year renewable coach contracts paying under 10k, might be in jeopardy.

Jesus Christ. This is so gay.

someone posted the stats that Pete offers about 70-75 guys per year so an offer actually means something. Bama offers about 275 kids per year so those ceremonial non-committable offers really make bitchy little high school coaches happy?
-
Unfortunately they do, those offers are 100% grade A bullshit and the coaches know it, the ADs at the high school know it but the idiot parents, admin, and younger players don’t know it.Meek said:so those ceremonial non-committable offers really make bitchy little high school coaches happy?
At the end of the year the coach gets to put how many different total scholarship offers his team had, total dollar worth of the scholarships and if he loses some games can still point to how many players are playing in college or received div 1 offers.
It’s fucked and meaningless and stupid but coaches and athletic directors use “I had 5 players with SEC offers” to protect themselves from parents and school admin that don’t understand what is actually going on.
Those positions are just as much political as they are competency driven, and a local school offering “your” players scholarships is just another round coaches use to promote and protect themselves.
Example; Under Sark or Ty they could say “I have 7-10 players with offers to UW” now they say they have 2-3... idiot parents and admin see the decrease and assume the coach must be doing something wrong. -

Yes, he was. His brother Patrick was also out of Garfield and was pretty good at UW.DerekJohnson said:

Not a lot of Seattle public school talent (excluding O’dea, Blanchet and Seattle Prep) that I’m aware of has made its way to UW football, although there were some really good players in the group. In addition to the Allen brothers from Garfield:
Roosevelt — mark Pattison, tom turnure and Hugh Millen (transfer after Lincoln HS closed)
Ingraham— James Clifford and Greg Lewis.
Franklin— Corey Dillon (I’m sure there are others I’m forgetting)
RB — Nate Robinson
Ballard — a TE in the 1990s whose name I forget.
Probably more but hardly a hotbed of talent historically but maybe that’s changed. -
Ta'amu, RB; Stanback, Garfield; Mario Bailey, Franklin...just a few more off the top off my head.
-
And Patrick Allen on my Garfield list went to Utah State, not UW. I don’t remember shit anymore.DawgWagonDan said:Ta'amu, RB; Stanback, Garfield; Mario Bailey, Franklin...just a few more off the top off my head.

Anthony Allen was old-time Garfield tuff ( >T-town tuff). The new era is 206 Hoops soft. Cowtowing to GHS and RB coaches is RomarFS.DerekJohnson said:

Just win. That overrides every perceived slight.
