2021 Recruiting

[seahawksfan234]

I agree. If they were heavily leaning to staying home, there would at least be some other PAC schools listed there.
Malloe and Adams have done great jobs with recruiting, but its gonna be an uphill battle with both JT and him.
We got a new coach whose got a mountain of a task of repairing perceptions about where this program is headed after the disastrous performance during conference play last year.
Everyone is kind of left still wondering wtf happened last year and perceptions do matter. It maybe May, but still feels like were once again behind most of the other top teams of the p5 conference's when it comes to recruiting for the class.

We'll see how it goes, but right now, I`m not pleased with recruiting and this program.

I agree with everything you said and tbh I'm not pleased either with how things are currently looking.

I'm pretty conflicted because I have to ask myself how much of our lack of strong recruiting is the fault of the coaching staff.

We're coming off of an 8-5 season and even when the team was at its best under Petersen, we were still out matched by premier programs and that's what local kids have observed.

It's also worth noting that UW will never offer the side "perk$" of certain schools. Not trying to enter into conspiracy theory shit, but UW isn't the type of program that will have their donors offer "jobs" to recruits.

Not arguing with what you said, but I think there are a lot of factors outside the control of the coaches. I don't really know what the solution is aside from trying to identify underrated recruits and developing them to win. I don't realistically think UW will ever be the type of program who will bring in a top-5 recruiting class.

Coach Hop offered JT a BB scholly so that might help. Dual sports.

I think that his basketball scholarship offer shows that the Huskies know Ohio State is in the drivers seat. The scholarship doesn't really matter because he already has a full ride offer and if he wanted to play basketball, he could do that without an offer to join the team.

He wants to play BB and no other P5 school other than UW has made him that offer as of yet.

Hopefully that makes a difference.

I'm pretty cynical now when it comes to recruiting after starting a job in finance. Off the top of my head I can list off dozens of ways to get money to a recruit without raising any red flags or leaving a paper trail, especially if an alumni owns a business.

It's only a story when someone is stupid enough to get caught and even then, there are tons of ways to deny that any improper benefits were given to a student athlete.

I always figured that if improper benefits were given to a player, eventually the media would catch on to it. Unfortunately that's not the case.

Nice local get for the class. A TE you can lineup inside or outside and reported to be a ridiculous playmaker who catches all kinds of passes in heavy coverage.
Needs to work on blocking technique, but still should be one of those guys who can start playing immediately next year.

It's all about the wins that sway recruiting. UW has failed to capitalize on their lone playoff appearance, blew the Fiesta Bowl against Penn St and haven't done well against very good OOC teams. This home/home against Michigan is critical and in just a few short year Ohio St comes aboard with a home/home.

This isn't good. The 247 crystal ball just flipped in favor of Oregon. This guy was a Washington lean since last year.

Moliki Matavao, Liberty, Tight End

Did he make his announcement?

Actually is there any word about Washington's top guys on where they're going?

Shame

Washington made the top 4 for Ebuka but that's about it. Lake has lost this class.

My guess is these guys have questions on how the team transition from one coach to another. I'm not sure what else it could be but winning games and winning that major bowl game will sway the recruits back to our side.

Goes from a UW lean to committing to Oregon. That's a huge bummer.

 

[RegentDenali]

Incoming!!!!

 

[AlaskaGuy]

Incoming!!!!

Hopefully this isn't another of Lake's walk ons. Especially after Oregon landed Troy Franklin yesterday.
