Here's the thing, doogs should be concerned about killing it this season. Lose 4 games (which is my prediction) and UW will drop off the planet in recruiting. Oregon has more room to maneuver. The name recognition alone is enough to pull in top 20 classes every year. Cristobal won't be expected to win more than 8 games this season. He does that, and recruiting will take care of itself in 2019. 2019 is the year. Oregon will be playing Auburn in neutral Texas. That will be the first real test of the Cristoballz era, and it could be the last if he doesn't take care of bidness and lead the ducks to a playoff berth. By that time you'll probably be back to Sarking it again.
LOL holy shit u really think UW loses 4 games this season? That's qoukin on another level my friend. Unless Jake Haener starts the majority of the season there's zero fucking chance we lose that many games with such a talented and experienced roster.
Even though your prediction of four losses is absolute dog shit, lets just say that actually does transpire. You think UW's recruiting will all the sudden tank just because of one semi down year?
The 2018 UW team, ranked preseason top 10 and the overwhelming favorite to win the conference, is made up of mostly players from the '14, '15, and '16 classes. UW lost 6 games in '14 and 6 again in '15. Yet those three classes were essentially top 25-30 classes littered with future NFL draft picks. Recruiting has really taken off over the past couple years with UW signing its first top 10 class under Petersen in 2018. The UW roster is getting closer and closer to the ideal ratio of at least 50% 4 and 5-star talent.
Unfortunately for you and other qouks one semi down year of 9-4 isn't going to suddenly stop UW's recruiting momentum or talent acquisition. The UW staff is actually full of adults who are completely committed to their jobs and are some of the top evaluators in the country. UW is once again back on top as the premiere program in the northwest and under Petersen will continue to develop players better than anyone else. UW is going to be competing for the Pac-12 Title and CFP on an annual basis while UO will be winning offseason natties and then will be lucky to go 7-6 or 8-5 every year under Cristoballz. Oregon is going to become the Tennessee of the Pac-12 conference.
