We should take this fucker over KPatt and move Draco to TE. This kid is special man but his potential gets kind of unlocked by being developed under Pete.


Which means we’ll never take him.......

sad thing, we no longer recruit kids like kevin king. he would never get offered today by UW. Even though he is fucking beast. Too developmental

This is one of DDY's dumber complaints, so I shouldn't be surprised you're plagiarisming it.

There are some things to complain about with our recruiting right now, but DB recruiting is not one of them.

In Jimmy Lake I Trust.

This isn’t about DB or Jimmy Lake. This is about Pete’s recruiting limiting the opportunities given to at-risk, underprivileged black athletes behind the cloak of “OKG” when in reality Budda Baker, Kevin King, and Keishawn Bierria, some of the kids who were the least OKG coming out of high school, turned out to be, not only the most successful players on the field, but the most charismatic leaders in the community off the field. Every single one of us thinks the Sark recruits that got to play under Pete is what our ceiling should look like.



Most character issue players commit bad violations because they are surrounded by people that condone and enable their behavior. Pete and his coaches do not. That has trickled down to the players holding each other countable and forming bonds so powerful that Myles gaskin doesn’t only say he supports Jake but also says that he’s an amazing quarterback. Think of how strong that bond must be for such a smart guy like Myles to publicly state something so delusional. Of course you’re going to get bad apples like Kentrell Love, Sr. Azeem, Camilo Eifler, but did any of those players leave a black eye on how people view the integrity of UDUB? Hell no. There is absolutely zero difference in Kentrell Love leaving the team, and Amandre Williams from Tahoma leaving? If those are the only 3 bad apples think about all the players who could’ve easily been that way if not for Pete. I support Marcus peters being kicked off the team because he had to build this culture. But now that the culture has been instilled, I have a really hard time believing that Jack Jones would’ve robbed a Panda Express at gun point after spending a year being mentored by the DB’s of 2016. Not only mentored but also motivated after seeing all those kids from tough backgrounds get drafted in high in the NFL draft.



That’s what this is all about. UDUB football scholarships are lottery tickets. Pete should feel the most accomplished seeing Budda Baker be a stud in the NFL awhile his brother was in jail and has now tragically been killed thinking that could’ve been Budda if not for “Built for Life”. He should feel the most rewarded getting the next version of jack jones and putting him in a room full of coaches who are gonna be like parents he never had, and a room full of brothers that love him so much they won’t let him cheat on his own success. Pete wanted to kick Azeem off the team before his first violation only a couple months after the fiesta bowl. Was it to save him for the next year that he probably wouldn’t do much in because of the injury? No because he knew where his life would go without being on this team. Then the first violation came and Pete would’ve done it if not for KB stepping in. That’s why KB is the goat. Neither would be recruited by Pete today.



Instead of focusing on kids who are already built for life and will work hard because their support system has already instilled great values in them, he should recruit the best athlete who NEED to be built for life and starving for someone to give that to them along with a lottery like opportunity they are so desperate for, they have no choice but to work hard.

I wouldn't lump Budda into the group of kids Pete wouldn't recruit considering he flipped him from Oregon, but still.

I get this.

But pounding the table for "we would never take Kevin King at this point" is dumb when every DB we take turns to gold.

I disagree with the idea we wouldn't take Budda BTW. He would still be a Husky. But again, DB is tits.

The Bierria complaint is much more spot on, but doesn't sound as potent because Bierria struggled as a senior. Saying "we'd never take Kevin King" is inflammatory because who tf doesn't love Kevin King? But the reality is we are getting kids just as good, if not better on a regular basis at that position with the current strategy so who cares?

Other positions (like LB), not so much.

Agree with everything youre saying about UW continuing to be good but it’s not about position or even names, its more to a point of an overall strategy not actively recruiting kids “like” Kevin King, not King as the player but rather as the personal and their surroundings. Even this year Austin Jones, whos from the same area as Kevin and went to the same high school as Kevin, we dropped him despite being 1000 times the prospect Kevin was, and didn’t recruit Jevon Holland last year at a position of need. It’s not about positional fit we’re talking about not limiting ourselves.

I’m all in for hating dropping Austin Jones. Best back in America. Will finish second in the Heisman at Stanford rather easily.

I don’t think we droooed him because he wasn’t OKG enough though, do you? I mean he had Stanford #1 throughout the process. If anything he was too OKG.

I thought we just got beat for Holland, I don’t remember dropping him. But yeah he was my favorite corner last year besides Dom.

I think @LaMichael_Corleone would point out that the fact people associate (joking or not) the pinnacle of OKG as having admission/interest in Stanford is part of the larger problem/conversation here. That the inherent aspects of privilege and nature v. nurture that seem to be applied to the types of guys we’re recruiting now and how that projects on the program itself.

I have interacted with Kevin a lot ... always came off as a great guy to me. Yes, he has swag. But he’s also a great example of how OKGs can come from any walk of life
