The esteemed TSIO hosts postulated early in this recruiting season that this could be a disappointing class for us thanks to the strengths of the class not lining up with our strengths (geographic and recruiters). 17 commits in, this might not be a monster class, but it is looking likely very good, with a shot at better if a few notables hop on bored down the stretch.

Obviously, some things have changed since their warning, perhaps most notably the hires of Matt Lubick and Scott Huff, who between them have brought in almost half of the real BRB, YO caliber talent in this class.

But the other chinteresting development, and the one I want to dig into just a bit here, is where this class is coming from. OTOH, traditionally Washington (like everyone else in the conference) has gotten at least 60% of its kids from California, roughly 30% from Washington and filled in 10% from Hawaii, Oregon, and the occasional kid from somewhere else.

This class looks different. A lot different. Of the 17 commits, here's where they come from:

Washington - 4 (Sirmon, Culp, Ale, Liu)
California - 3 (Newton, Osborne, Spiker)
Oregon - 2 (Bynum, Lowe)
Utah - 2 (Taimani, Tafisi)
Arizona - 2 (Mele, Hampton)
Hawaii - 1 (Zion)
Idaho - 1 Yankoff
Tennessee - 1 (Sirmon 2)
Texas - 1 (Curne)

As it currently stands, Washington recruits account for 23.5% of the class and California recruits account for only 17.6% (!). Combined, our two primary states make up 40.1% of the class.

81% of the time (probably more) that would be a death sentence for UW. But somehow we? have successfully expanded the footprint to put together a strong class despite a below average year for us in state and a WAY below average year for us in California. With no research to back this up I'd venture this is by far the fewest kids we've ever pulled from Cali, even if we finish with Tremblay, Irving and Tuliapupu (we won't).

While I would expect us? to do much better in Cali moving forward, the rise of the WAC states in UW recruiting is really fascinating, and seems to be more likely a trend than a blip. Arizona has become a state we consistently pluck a kid from under Pete, Utah had a historic class this year but we've now gotten 3 kids from there in 2 years, and Hawaii appears to be a priority state next class.

I don't know how much of this has to do with increasing talent from those states (particularly Utah and Arizona) and how much has to do with Petersen prioritizing them more/better than previous UW coaches, but it appears our recruiting footprint is expanding, and not just into the much discussed Texas.

Maybe hiring a coach who knew the WAC recruiting base wasn't so bad after all.

Fupdate

Washington - 4 (Sirmon, Culp, Ale, Liu)
California - 3 (Newton, Osborne, Spiker)
Oregon - 2 (Bynum, Lowe)
Utah - 2 (Taimani, Tafisi)
Arizona - 2 (Mele, Hampton)
Hawaii - 1 (Zion)
Idaho - 1 Yankoff
Tennessee - 1 (Sirmon 2)
Texas - 1 (Curne)
Nevada - 1 (Kaho)

Washington at 22.2%, Cali at 16.7%

Final fupdate:

Washington - 5 (Sirmon, Culp, Ale, Liu, Gordon)
California - 5 (Newton, Osborne, Spiker, Irvin, Tuli)
Oregon - 2 (Bynum, Lowe)
Utah - 2 (Taimani, Tafisi)
Arizona - 2 (Mele, Hampton)
Hawaii - 1 (Zion)
Idaho - 1 Yankoff
Tennessee - 1 (Sirmon 2)
Texas - 1 (Curne)
Nevada - 1 (Kaho)

Washington and Cali both at 23.8%, for a total of 47.6% of the class from our two core states.

I highly doubt we've ever gone below 50% aggregate from those two states before. Chinteresting shit.

Notable - our first three commits for 2019 are all Washington (2) and Cali (1), and it appears we have a strong start on a number of other Cali kids (Ngata, Criddel, Austin Jones, Sean Dollars). We also seem to be hitting Hawaii a lot harder for 2019 than ever in the Pete era.

This next class could look a lot more like a DJ or even RN class geographically.

Im beyond excited to see what Peterman can do with this class

You guys missed the simple fix to the Martin problem... you were almost there though. You mentioned we got to get in on the barber's but you didn't say how to do it. We were clearly third to Oregon and A&M for one reason. The barber community networks and knows eachother and they know who you is gonna take care of your hair before your big game.


At Oregon Barbers know you can get this legit Barbershop INSIDE OU's locker room:



At Texas A&M:
Again that is inside their football facility.


AT uw you get the Ruth Robbins of haircare:

Simple fix is build a barbershop in the sports complex and hire a team barber.

UW has/had a barbershop in their facility, not sure if it is still there though.

Listening now, @Tequilla with the sneaky Challenge TJ Lavin reference. Bravo sir, bravo.

Let's drop Gregory get a boss recruiter/developer for our? bucks and get top 5 class next year you hardcore hussies. Let's dare to dream before NSD and the mass suicide. I choose fruit punch as my out flavor.

@Dennis_DeYoung or @CokeGreaterThanPepsi moving forward do you think because Harris will be recruiting DB’s will Lake have have more time to be the lead recruiter on Buck type players?

Plz for the love of god make it happen. Gregory still has to go tho.

We need a fuck for buck asap

You guys being optimistic about Faatui is scary, but in a good way.

Also I'm pretty sure Cota does go to Medford. Jaramillo went to Oswego.
