Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

I have finally figured out what the problem is with our BUCK recruiting!

    Ok, I can dig this but the only solution that comes to mind is doing exactly what Pete won’t do, what whoregon does, and offer every 4-5 ⭐️ Buck prospect.
    I’m going to pretend I know how Pete thinks and I do the same thing when I’m recruiting sales people. I live in the armpit of FL and no one with real sales chops wants to live here. I’m not going to find the perfect sales rep much as Pete knows kwat sux at recruiting this position and they aren’t going to land the perfect recruit. As such, I find people who I can work with who are strong in my areas of weakness and weak in areas of my strengths. Essentially OKG’s who possess at least one of the multitude of skills needed to perform.
    Fuck... if we could just get one mutha fucker to terrorize the Qb’s in ‘19. Secondary is lights out but few (1 or 2) turnovers because of no edge rush and occasional interior pressure. I want to see more blitzes
    Thinking only MORE winning (cfp) appearance fixes this as we know Pete’s loyal to a fault. Guess we’ll see.

    Kids don't find the buck position description sexy at all.

    Who wants to play a position where "you have to hold the edge and funnel the action inside so your dline and linebackers and secondary can make plays"?

    That part of your primary responsibilities are to limit the big play ability if the opposition quarterback?

    Big sexy buck prospects want to destroy the qb not play disciplined with a purpose.

    3 years from now we'll have a much easier time attracting buck prospects when our tuiteles and bandes and heimulis and to'oto'oos are maturing and rounding into form.

    At that point prospects will overcome their reluctance and play for a destructive defense.

    I really don't think this is a problem at all. Elite pass rushers are confident enough that they'll get sacks in any system. There are just very few good buck prospects and we suck at recruiting them.

    How is the door to door book sales these days?

    Kikaha lead the nation in sacks I believe from that position. I doubt it’s the issue.

    We need open tryouts for bucks. The rowing team has almost a hundred athletes that are the perfect size. One of them probably has some speed in him.

    They might have the frame, but we will need to put weight on them. Fuck, I am actually concerning this as an viable option

    Would you rather have 10 sacks from the strong safety position with Taylor Rapp or 4 sacks from the BUCK position?

    Carlos Johnson should have been sat down by Petersen and Romar2.0 before transferring. Kid doesn't have the right skillset and attitude for a basketball player. But it would have been perfect for buck.
