Coach Pete on now

Wasn't able to listen but depth is getting better, the staff is creating a balanced roster, and the players are now in Year 2 of the process.

I hadn't realized it but did anyone else realize that the only WR left from the Sloppy Steve's 2012 is Jaydon Mickens? Kendyl Taylor transferred down to Northern Arizona and Dewayne Washington is at RB.

Couple that with John Ross being injured (and mostly playing CB last year), Darrell Daniels moving to TE, and Stringfellow being String and leaving (anyone who was paying attention to recruiting knew he was a head-case even in high school).

We are fortunate that the staff was able to get Pettis and Lenius (massively high-ceiling) in 2014 and then snag Renfro (Michigan State wanted him badly) and Chico (beating out UCLA).

Even better, the staff is making great inroads for the 2016 class in a big year for WRs on the West Coast....which is kind of the general theme of this staff is that things are slowly getting better on the depth, talent, and balance front.

Someone has to play WR. Those guys might be pretty good, but I wouldn't call us fortunate to have them. It should be expected that we have some good players at every position.

You should be thankful that Petersen hit the ground running and worked hard to get a very good transition class besides enjoying the FREE PUB that came with coaching in the Rose Bowl, doing limited recruiting for the new job, and then scrambling to take fliers on guys that either sucked or weren't getting into school under any condition like Siete y Seis liked to do.

C'mon Roaddie, you're better than that.

Should we have expected Petersen to sit around and do nothing? Petersen did his job. Nothing more, nothing less. Pettis had no other Pac 12 offers. We all expect him to be better than Sark so the comparison is pointless. They were both good gets, but neither is Reggie Williams. Lenius made one single note worthy play last year.

Because of his brothers success at Boise, Pettis would have followed Petermaus wherever he went. Probably why no one else offered.

I agree with your point RD, just adding some color for you and tequila to accurately put these men on a flat bed truck and compare their suitability for work.
 
How many college players are Reggie Williams?

Did I miss where Lenius or Pettis were compared to Reggie Williams?

Maybe a better question would be will Lenius/Pettis compared to Kasen Williams? Who is the next best WR in the Siete y Seis tenure?
 
And no, we shouldn't crown Petersen for doing his job. But on the other hand, we shouldn't be remiss to give him credit for having a solid transition class that has a good chance of speeding up the turnaround by 1/2 a season or more.

If you're going to post a pic of taking the gloves off, at least get some heavyweights in the picture not some hand slapping huggers (Finnish dudes aren't good fighters)

So why the fuck are you paying attention to the basement dwelling people that inhabit this bored???

The only acceptable answer is that this is what you do in between trips to the table and lines of blow.

I love the Dawgs! WOOOF!!!
 
Ccp deserves no praise for Lenius until he does anything.

In fact, ccp sucked his entire first year. I saw little creativity on offense and the worst offense since the years of Ty. A recruiting class on par with what uw always recruits to whenever a coach tries and a team that sucked on the field.
 
Pretty obvious Salk didn't want to talk about UW, one of the worst interviews I have heard. You get a coach in studio and do that for an interview.... Just awful.

Did Salk ask Coach Pete about the Red Sox?
 
That's the fun thing about sports, projecting how guys will do after seeing them play their first year. Lenius was a late bloomer the staff monitored and then jumped on when he had a good senior year in limited time:

gohuskies.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=209397299&DB_OEM_ID=30200

So yeah, I guess I'm going out on a limb and giving CCP some praise for getting this guy after seeing him more in the latter half of the 2014 season. Based on watching him last year, he'll probably never be a 4.4 guy but he has great size (6'5" 217 lbs), good speed, and it's pretty clear he was an under-the-radar guy whose best football is ahead of him as his learning curve steepens.

He moved from Canada and played 1 year of football before arriving at UW.

@BallSacked watched him in HS since there were some Bruins on his team and can provide more info.

Yeah I saw his team beat Serra in the playoffs two years ago. Serra had I believe 3 5 star players and another 6 or so players that are in the pac12 now. Serra is a trooj feeder school so actually most of them were Trojans, 1 or 2 Bruins, and an actual duck. Chaminade had Jojo McIntosh, the Lee brothers, Brad Kayaa, Bar Milo and a few more. So there was close to two dozen pac12 level players on the field that night.

Lenius stood out to athletically because he was the tallest guy on the field and could run and jump really well. It just was clear he wasn't much more than a jump ball outlet for Kayaa to throw to. Lenius didn't move to the U.S. until fall of his senior year. If he played ball in SoCal all 4 years he would have been much more heralded and recruited, quite honestly. Reminds me a bit of ex-Bruin Joe Fauria.

At the time I hoped UCLA would offer, but they were chasing Bryce Dixon the 5star tight end from Ventura. He went to SC, smacked a girl up and has since sold the couch. Good times.
