    I may be in the minority here, but I'm Ngatas worried about not signing this kid simply because the WR position is not as valuable as the OL/DL and QB positions. Look at what winning rosters focus most on and it ain't WR. Clempson isn't beating Bama for the championship without the beastly D-line they had and Watson at QB. The WR who caught the winning TD was a try-hard, white slot receiver.

    That being said, it's still a fuck up to not pick Ngata in when UW was the favorite in the not-too-distant past.

    Their wrs were winning 50/50 balls that whole second half vs Bama fwiw and our wrs do not look like that.

    I do kInd of agree with you in that not bother me as much in that wr is one of the easiest positions to get high level talent at. But this was set up for success and the staff failed.

    I think WR (and the passing game in general) is underrated on this bored. You need stud receivers.

    That said our WR class was full without Ngata and we have six stud underclass receivers already plus a good not great one coming in. Losing Ngata hurts because he's great. I can't think of a position it would hurt less at save maybe QB.

    It’s beyond the single recruit and single position. It’s an indication of what our coach is capable of. What his ceiling is. This is a massive signal of what the program will be capable of.

    Before Ngata to Clemson, if you asked me “Will Petersen ever win a CFB playoff game at UW” my answer would have been yes.

    After this, I don’t think he will.

    With no WRs set to graduate after 2018 and then bringing in Davis next year, barring any couch sales the 2019 roster will have 12 scholarship WRs. I'm pretty sure that's the most we've carried during the CP era and that's creeping into Slick Rick/Sark territory.

    2019 Srs
    Baccellia
    Fuller
    McClatcher
    Pounds

    2019 Jrs
    Chincredible
    Jones

    2019 Sophs
    Bynum
    Cook
    Lowe
    Osborne
    Spiker

    2019 Frosh
    Davis

    We will graduate all our midget WRs after next year and then hopefully bring in a monster WR class. Of course still want Ngata but crying over passing on Delgado and Pittman is unnecessary.

    Would not shock me if 2 of the 4 2019 Sr's left after this year as I expect the Opera Singer and Pounds to largely get passed on the depth chart …

    If Jones is as good as people think he could be he could leave after 2019 …

    There's no guarantee who in the 2019 Soph region will be contributors … I'm not 100% convinced that Lowe doesn't get moved to RB at some point

    2020 recruiting looks fucktastic at the moment

    So, in other words, you could be looking at the 2020 and 2021 season as being very, very thin

    Most of you aren't very good at the projection game.
