This is true but playing time can account for something. The power house schools usually have kids waiting 2 to 3yrs to start cause of how stacked they are. Washington which does have talent but not on those levels can afford to give a kid a shot in his second year. I like our recruiting on the west coast and Hawaii but too me it's not enough to compete against the Bamas and OSU of the worlds year in and year out.
That's a good point. Although we are a tier below the Bamas, OSUs of the world, we can sell them on the fact that we're the next best thing and they will actually get playing time. Also I'm probably coming from a biased perspective, but if I were a recruit I'd rather go to a program where I can help elevate them and be a part of something special as opposed to going to Alabama and just helping them retain their dominance.
That's an excellent point. There's only a select few who get drafted R1. Go to a school (Washington) and elevate that program to pac champs/playoff team and you become a house hold name with the school and probably got yourself a bigger payday come draft time.
It's looking like both JT Tuimoloau and Emeka Egbuka are headed to Ohio St. Tuioloau refuses to talk with UW coaches as is Egbuka.
Reliable sources.Where did you hear this? Also what was the reason?
I can't imagine they'd "refuse" to talk to UW coaches unless they're not offering the "benefit$" of other schools.
In J.T.'s case it could be that if he was present at the alleged r*pe of that girl, perhaps maybe they're not talking to him. Ayden Hector and D.J. Rogers were also present and UW didn't recruit Hector heavily and never offered Rogers.
Reliable sources.
