Waited too long.

 

[FireCohen]

Are we really not taking his commitment? Why not?

 

[HuskyClaws]

I believe the thought is that he was recruited as a safety and that Turner and Williams took his spot.

Weird. He does not look like a safety on film to me. CB or WR.

There could be world where we be better off without him

Considering we’ve struck out on all our WR targets shouldn’t we be going after this guy? In state kid, athletic, could switch to DB if we somehow flip/land some other guys out of nowhere.

I don’t really see a good reason not to take him.

Lubic needs to be fired now

We don't need another receiver in the class. Sure we'll take a 5* monster if we can get them but Chase isn't that.

If we take Chase anywhere it will be at CB.

STOp. If we learned anything from Malloe it's not to overrate anything that happens in one class where we have only one or two schollies at a position. If Lubick strikes out next year sure send him door ass out. If we had fired Malloe when everyone wanted him gone (including me) we would have done ourselves a massive disservice.

LIFPO on Lubick.

Agree with dnc Lipo at least even the current recruiting cycle before calling for heads.

There are only 2 guys left on our WR board and neither of them is likely coming to UW. We only have two classes of WRs who are worth a shit on our roster. What’s the logic in taking only one receiver?

Chase isn’t a Baccellia, Chin or Fuller. He brings the average talent level of that position group up and adds a body to a position where we are already thin.

There is room for one more CB. My guess is Mykal Wright and/or McDuffie get the first crack at that spot.

The logic is you don't have a single receiver graduating and not likely to have much in the way of couch sales at the position (would love to be wrong on this part). Not to mention you have too many schollies dedicated to the position as it is.

As DDY has relentlessly pointed out we have virtually as many WR as OL on scholarship. That's a massive problem. We dedicated 6 schollies over the last two classes to fix the issues at WR and another in this class. If those 7 can't get it done then there's something wrong that's not going to be fixed by adding Darien Chase.

Good call on Wright would be a hell of flip.

I don't disagree but this also seems like a situation of "as long as we get X number of good receivers in the next class then it doesn't matter that we only sign one guy in this class."

Chase is on par athletically with the guys we have recruited at that position in the last two classes, has position flexibility and is a slam dunk as far as the effort needed to get his commitment. If he was a JAG I would be OK! with passing on him but he seems like a very good prospect.

I guess I am sort of defaulting to "take the athletic, in-state kid at a position of need."

I just don't think it's a position of need, otherwise agree.

I won't be at all upset if they take Chase. I don't want them to take another receiver unless he's a clear cut #1 guy, which none of those guys are coming here.
