Emeka Egbuka, 2021 5* WR, Steilacoom (Steilacoom HS), WA (Offered 10/20/18)

I'm still waiting for the other elite WRs on the roster that were make or break for the program to make an impact, with respect.

Interesting. How much better, if at all, do you think Egbuka will be than Puka, Jalen, Rome, etc....?

Would EE have a greater impact than a John Ross for instance? How do we rate this loss from a purely talent standpoint?
 
I dont see anything about the UW offense not to like if I'm a top receiver prospect.
1) staff willing to give reps and looks to young guys, even after costly drops
2) Other young WR making plenty of costly drops = plenty of opportunity
3) scheme has plenty of downfield passing but QB and receivers struggling to execute
4) Incoming QB excels at throwing the deep ball

He's going to tOSU. But still.

running the ball for 2 yards every 1st & 2nd down isn't ideal

This post reeks of not trusting the process.

First learn walk. Then learn fly. Thsts the process.

Seriously though, I've seen more receivers with more looks, including downfield looks, this year than I have at UW in a long time. Far fewer passes overall but the passing game has involved the depth chart better than it used to and the plays/routes aren't so boring. Most of the difference in total passes is probably due to the lack of bubble screens.

Nah the process is dogshit. We are consistently running the ball in situations we should be passing. When you run the ball on 2nd & 10, or 1st & 20, you are setting yourself up to fail. Good offenses don't play to get a 3rd & 5 every time, they try and score points.

The John Don/Lake offensive philosophy is to play not to lose, and its why we keep falling behind. There's a reason the offense looks better when we are forced to try and score.

The passing scheme is fine, guys are getting open, but the philosophy will always hold us back.

He is obviously a huge add to a great array of talent, and will get early playing time because of his talent and Sympatico with Sam.

Sounds like we agree. I was joking about the oroxeas, if that wasn't clear.

Need good RB’s to run the ball. Ones that break off chunks off yards and not 1-2 yard inside dives.

I'd think he is staying home given that spring practice is up in the air, UW has shown reasonable care and affection for how they are handling protocol for athletes, he is personally connected to the incoming QB that has the rare ability to throw the deep ball, and it's important to be able to be around family during these weird times.

I wish I could Doog with you on this, but I think he will look at an offense where the top receiver has 9 catches through four games and a team that just lost to a bad Stanford team and say thanks but no thanks, I’m going to a team I know can compete for Nattys and I know can get WRs the ball and unfortunately through 4 games fairly or unfairly that doesn’t look like UW.

I'd also hope he'd be smart enough to see that the current offense has a lid on it, and that "rare ability to throw the deep ball" coming in would remove that lid. Hopefully, he's also watched closely enough to know that the top receivers would all have 15 catches and multiple TDs if they caught more than they dropped...

Unfortunately the offense has had a lid on it since 2016
 
At this point I’d settle for Emeka to OU and JT to Alabama just so we don’t have to see this nightmare of a face.

I'm dooging for Jimmy. He's the guy for UW. There definitely aren't any horrifying red flags wide enough for the Titanic[/i] to sail through. No siree. Just want to cheer on the lads! Go Dwags!
