Is it realistic for us to be able to sign top 15 classes (top 10 by 247 rating average) every year?

Yes - We are likely to sign top 3 players at almost every position in the West this year, why couldn't we continue that and improve on it?

I'm Not Sure - I bought into the bullshit that recruiting wasn't important on HH during the Sark era (b/c it wasn't) and I have a hard time updating my beliefs, plus I watch the NFL a lot and they seem to be able to just replace players via free agency and I expect the same model to happen here even though I have no idea how that would work.

    Answer key:

    No - IQ of 12. You should light yourself on fire and take a rocket into the sun.
    Yes - IQ of 115+. Good, you can stay. You understand that there are no excuses for shitty classes. We need good players, period.
    I'm Not Sure - IQ of 115 or below. In order for this species to survive, we can only have the cream of the crop. Kill yourself.

    There is literally an answer 'not sure'. I'm going to suggest an IP ban.

    Fine, you peer pressured me to vote for the "I'm not sure" option. Please let the record show that my vote was under duress.

    Can't take years off either

    Need to stack top 15 classes and league titles like cord wood to get to the top of the nation

    And it's a long way

    To the top

    If you want to rock and roll

    Race GETS IT.

    We still let Bob Gregory recruit LBs to play behind Malloe’s DT’s and in front of Lakes secondary.

    We launched Chris Strausser, CFB’s best tactical and development OL coach, for Huff. We traded Pete’s bosom buddy, Brent Pease, for unproven Matt Lubick and we keep a RB coach who prefers working beef over upgrading Kamari Pleasant and our new power back, Sean McGrew.

    Considering my sub 116 IQ, I’m obviously missing something...

    Your standards are too low Dennis ... Top 10 is the floor IMO going forward

    But not for the reason you stated. Pete doesn't let guys go so our classes are smaller. Which is why we do better on the composite ranking than the regular. And why Sark classes looked better on paper (cause he always had room for 26 recruits).

    Jesus Christ. Top 15 overall, top 10 average recruit rating. You think we can’t do that?

    I’m shaking and about to vomit.
    Every single year? We SHOULD be able to do that, yes. But the way Pete is, he wants to build him team on the BBKs of the world, and is arrogant enough to think he can win with them.

    HTH

    I don't think Pete WANTS to have scrappy white guys, I think it was what he could get at Boise

    You act like he could come in here after a decade plus of shit and bring in top ten classes. Its hard

    Well now he his and I am pretty sure he is as unhappy with having our bend and then bend some more defense as we? are

    He can do it and there is no reason to expect anything else unless you are hondoFS

    This.

    Next year we are already top 2-5 for basically every good player on the West Coast. Does anyone think that for some reason recruiting will be worse?

    The Doog is so strong in people, they just cannot fucking let it go. Let it go.
    The question was "is it realistic".... With Pete, he will never consistently recruit top 15 classes. I think we should, but that's not who he is. He loves the try hard white guy that is underrated.

    So, I think it's probably a bit premature to talk about 2022... but in 2019, 2020 and 2021 we have a good shot to end up top 15.

    Is there a reason that's going to change?

    I know Pete has as soft spot for try hards... but I don't see one try-hard in this year's commits:

    Drew - probably the closest
    Cam - no
    Taj - no
    Nate - hell no
    Julius - no
    Troy - F no
    Corey - no
    Pa'ama - F no
    Ngalu - second closest?
    Tuitele - fuck no
    Bandes - no
    Trice - the opposite
    Ah You - close, but he's fast and 6-2
    Tuputala - the opposite
    KamFab - fuck no
    Turner - Jesus no
    Cam - he had a 3 hour commit announcement
