Perhaps players have chosen to play football at Oregon this century because they considered an 0-12 season; losing 12 in a row to Oregon; not having a retard at coach like Ty Willingham.
For all his problems, Nick Cody was 5-0 against the Huskies.

Orgeron believed Kenny Rowe was gang affiliated . . . If Rowe was good enough, that wouldn’t have been a problem for Orgeron. A player from Long Beach Poly wasn’t going to Ole Miss. After all, Orgeron recruited at USC forever . .
This is pretty funny mocking Oregon players academis with the string of bums and criminals that have played for UW, particularly during the Neuheisel years.
Start with the number of players that Neuheisel and the Seattle legal system refused to discipline/prosecute as long as they were productive for the football program.

Oregon has done it’s share of shady shit as far as players too.
A podcast with Haie as a guest. Great!
Did anybody ask him when he’s going to pull a Hope Solo? Only question is whether Haie’s BAC will be higher than Solo’s when he stops “to take a nap” in a Walmart parking lot with his screaming twin boys in the back seat. Hope Solo’s BAC was .24. The betting odds favor Haie.

In your hypothetical a players only choice is to play for Washington around the Willingham years or play for Oregon? I obviously always want a talented instate player to play for UW and if they don't leave the Pac-12 or at least leave the region. The Vancouver area where I think Cody is from has always basically been Oregon so I get why it has always been hard to get players from there.
Slice it however you want but there's nothing funnier than a printed book saying a guy was too sketchy to recruit and he ends up at Oregon.
I'll never defend the bad eggs of the Neuheisel years and previous other than saying at least UW wanted to win at that point, and sure, Washington has had plenty more bad eggs since then. In UW's unfortunate defense they really put an effort into correcting that shit after it happened. I'll also defend Oregon and say the amount of shady player shit has gone way down, though I think a lot of that is just society overall. Now they just recruit the biggest douchebags on the planet.
