    I told you guys the Kingsbury hire fucked our chances with him. You know a kid's not coming here when even I'm not feeling optimistic about our chances. He gone. All USC. 5-star WR to SC. Business as usual. UW needs to put up numbers on offense to get a WR of that caliber. Our #1 receiver (Aaron Fuller) was 7th in receiving yards compared to the rest of the conference's receivers. Our next WR's after that were #27 (Baccellia) and #29 (Jones). Our passing game was trash this season. The Cal and Utah games were offensive abortions. What do you expect? The air raid at USC is way more appealing for a WR recruit than what our offense has done the past two seasons.

    I am sad now. Please cheer me up with some good recruiting news.

    Well. this is true.

    passing game last two seasons has been awful. and the good recruits who come here don't get any playing time.

    You can advertise the number one defense in the pac, you can advertise "death row", to pretty much any defensive player.

    What does the offense have to advertise? Huff has been doing a pretty nice job, I like Cam Davis but he wasn't our top guy, QB recruiting has been AMAZING, Spiker and Osborne came here (inspired by Ross and Pettis) as the memory of Ross and Pettis fade, what will be the pitch to get wide receivers here? Is the "play with Jacob Eason" thing not working? We can only get one three star receiver now?

    I was born in 1994. I will never ever believe we are getting a big time recruit. We’re fucked. We’re fucked now and we’ll always be fucked.


    That being said, I have been forced to watch way too much Aaron Fuller film this year to give up on this kid. He’s going to USC or Oregon but just let me doog while McDuffie commits and he comes to a Rose bowl practice. Until then let me cut my wrists in peace.

    No Ngata, no Ford, no McCoy, do we give Lubick another chance with Johnny Wilson or is it time to move on....

    I don’t mean to be a dick but is that a serious question?

    I don't disagree but what happens when USC goes 8-5 and ends up in the Sun Bowl? Helton will be fired and Kingsbury will be gone as well. Recruits know this. Look at their 2019 schedule. I think Helton gets fired at the end of September. Some will however choose to commit and many more will not. I think we land Ford.

    Eason can make throws Browning couldn't on his best day. UW doing absolutely everything on the Ford and McCoy recruiting front knowing Eason is almost certainly the starter
