    I have created a table in Tableau with all known offers outstanding, per Rivals and 24/7. I grouped them by projected position for the Huskies, based on common sense. I included the three verbal commitments as well. There was one QB/Athlete that I removed from the list since he seems intent on playing QB and UW is done at that position.





    2019 Offers and Verbals by Projected Position (Sorted by 247 Composite Grade

    Pete really does hate WA
    It almost certainly has to do with evaluation timetables. And UW does have to get in the game earlier with out of state kids, particularly those outside of California and the PNW.

    But one does see how it could create the perception of a bias against locals.

    The other thing that I find amusing is the fact Petersen likes to make those snarky comments about recruiting star rankings being garbage, yet at least 42 of his 56 early offers are guys that carry 4- or 5-star early rankings. And most of the remainder are high 3-stars.
    Pete is full of shit on recruiting rankings. He had to be at Boise state and when you form an attitude that hard and publicly mock the obvious truth, it's hard to turn that shit around even when it is clear that you are wrong. You won't have to crane your neck in our society to see examples of this everywhere.

    If every college coach could have their first choice there would only be like 100 players selected total.

    There's a difference between there being a strong correlation between rankings and performance and a PERFECT correlation and Pete is as guilty as anyone at trying to poison our society with the notion than a non-perfect correlation is basically the same thing as no correlation.
    The top 1% or so of players are so easy to identify even Eklund could do it. I do give Petersen some real credit for being able to identify and project long term potential a lot better than most coaches.

    But the narrative that recruiting rankings are meaningless is reflexive BS.

    There's definitely plenty of "noise" in the data and unseen variables but the correlation is there.

    Heh, this stuff is way more reliable than economic data I do work with and we make way more important decisions based on that.

    How much free time do you have on hand?
    A significant amount. It is good to be comfortably retired.
    I though u were still flying shit around. Make more dawg sense now that u in ur basement now
    You might be mixing me up with somebody else. I haven't flown much since Archangel retired after Iran-Contra.
    It is hard with multiple posters gender identifying as attack helicopters.
    Totally.

    I'll take recruiting rankings over the official index of leading economic indicators all day, every day.
