    No - WE HAVE SO MANY DISADVANTAGES, PETE AND OKGS, PLUS WE DON'T EVEN WANT TO!
    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).

    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?

    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.

    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
