5 star talent is great but typically comes with some baggage. These players have always been the best but being god given their work etI forget the magic ratio number of 4/5 stars it takes to win a natty if someone wants to link the article, but isn't Pete trending up and about to surpass it? Are we not about to be one of 15 schools that make the cut?
Petes 3 stars aren't limping into the NFL in the late rounds. They are generally going top two rounds. That's talent bitch.
You have to be a top 15 recruiter to have any kind of chance. Also if you are in that 11-15 group you better have a transcendant QB or you are fucked. Bama can win with shit QB's because they are good everywhere else. Petersen is trending us into that 10-15 level but after Eason we are going to have to hit homeruns with QB play because we have never been serious players for the 5 stars and that is unlikely to change. You might get one every 3 or 4 years but there are about 8 elite programs that battle it out for the studs.
So same as it ever was. And UW historically can get big time QBs. Eason, Yankoff, Sirmon, Morris, and most likely Huard are all in the pipeline. QB play is trending nicely.
It sucks that our good QB is really shitty when it matters. If this team had Mcsorely I would bet we'd have a chance to win it all. We're right there, even Grandpa Sankey can see it.
