Babushka's Recruiting Philosophy

[CFetters_Nacho_Lover]

To be fair, it must suck to recruit to OSU. Your best pitch is "Technically we are a Pac-12 school"

I don't know if he'd do that much better if he really tried.

Dennis Erickson seemed to do okay, so it's not impossible with the right guy

If Leach can get his guys in there at Western Moscow while being on the spectrum I don't really believe there's a school in the Pac12 that can't. It just takes the right guy.

@Babushka *might be better off differentiating himself in the recruiting game by doing things the old-fashioned way instead of trying to do what everyone else is doing. I mean, how sad would hype videos like what Oregon has on twitter be coming out of Corvallis?

No twisters, not saying what he's doing is going to work, but you do have to figure out some way to uniquely recruit a place like Oregon State if you ever hope to have any success besides middle of the PAC.

Actually, since I hate hype videos and all that recruiting bullshit, you'd think I would be applauding Babushka for his stance on social media. But he put me through so many angst-ridden Saturdays that I just can't stand him.

“Angst-Ridden Saturdays” would be a great book title.

Just saying.

What’s the point? Fetters will just take credit for it in a few years anyway.

Already on it.

Update, with a shout out to Peterman:

He addressed those concerns this week on both “The Bald Faced Truth” and “Dirt and Sprague,” indicating he needs to evolve.

That, however, isn’t the biggest issue for the Beavers.

In the modern recruiting world, high school kids are being offered earlier and earlier, and there’s a perception that struggling programs should offer first.

Under Smith, Oregon State has built a reputation for taking its time before offering scholarships to high school prospects – an approach used by Washington’s Chris Petersen.

And it has rubbed many recruits the wrong way, angering some of the program’s top targets.[/i]

Some of the program's top targets have been rubbed the wrong way (too gentle? Not yankoffed hard enough?) and are at risk of taking their talents to Weber State instate.

We can't all be village bicycle like Oregon.

This. Stars matter, but there are so many guys picked in the NFL draft that were basically ignored when they were recruits. It’s harder to win at WSU or OSU, but the right coach can win anywhere.

You can have winning records anywhere. But you can't consistently win Conference championships and NY6 bowls anywhere. That is reserved for about 8 programs.
