Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Just received email from a former Husky player

I had asked him if he was happy like I am with the Petersen hire...
"No. This ain't Boise st. Look at the guys he's already bringing in for official visits. All guys he recruited at Boise st."

1/2 the coaching staff is already out the door, and the other 1/2 is recruiting for SC.
Petersen's staff is influx ...
The fuck he supposed to do? He's got about a month and a half to close deals ... and he is about 13 months behind the rest of the coaches.
What should he be doing ...
Going on a two week golf vacation ... prepping for the BSU bowl game?
Lets let it play out...
It will be interesting to see who we get ... Or maybe it won't be ... In that case it will be interesting to see why it wasn't interesting.
Either way abundance.
It is possible to get a stellar recruiting class out of the gate. Pete Carroll did it when he took over. Dumbass Bob Toledo said some stupid shit about defense not mattering as much as offense in his program, so Pete Carroll copied the quote and mailed it out to all of UCLA's defensive commits and elite recruits. Carroll ended up getting most of the So. Cal studs that year except Matt Ware.
Petersen is in a tough spot. He's not a recruiting wizz. All the kids he was recruiting were Boise State quality. The last coach had pretty clearly checked out of recruiting for this season.
Let him get guys he likes in for this class. It wasn't going to be great even if Sark stayed. If recruiting doesn't get better next year there's reason to be concerned.
This is such typical Seattle loser crying. Sark and Ty get tons of free passes but winners like Carroll and Petersen get shit on.
UCLA and USC are in the same city.
Bob Toledo was an idiot.
Recruiting to SC is a lil different than recruiting to Washington ... when you consider "stellar players"
Again ...
Would you rather have Coach Pete going on a well deserved 2 week golf vacation ...
Or would you rather he show up after his bowl game?

That said, I do not expect Coach Petersen to "win the off season." I don't think he gives a shit where F3 and company rank players. He is just going to go out and try to land the best folks he thinks he can develop and win with. Last I checked he was putting players into the NFL at a bigger clip than Montlake has of late. But I also remember the smaller, slower, weaker team that he brought into Husky Stadium in September. Hopefully the Washington/P12 brand will open a few more doors of guys falling through the cracks in the next month and a half for Petersen. Fans expecting big ***** are going to be disappointed. Fans like me who don't follow recruiting anymore won't know shit about this class for a few years.
You must be new here.
Seemed to have worked out OK.
As I said before, I can cite other examples.
Nick Saban at LSU. First thing he did was build a fence around the state of Louisiana.
Dennis Erickson at Oregon State. Landed elite JUCOs who went on to the NFL.
Nick Saban was not a national championship winning coach when he came over from Michigan State. One of the first things he did was get Marquise Hill to commit to LSU over Michigan. Erickson did have a national brand when he took over for Riley at OSU, but so does Chris Petersen.
I'm excited about petersen for a number of reasons, but recruiting is one area that has me concerned.
Some people here may not worry about having crappy recruiting classes, but believe it or not bringing in good players matters.
