Jimmy Lake had an in-home with Julius today. Tosh is dropping by tonight. Helton and some assistants will be in-home Tuesday night. Should make a decision by the end of the week.

I remember Papa Irving raving about the UW coaches in the Summer. Has this all been a ploy for USC attention?

It really is frustrating that these high end players don’t realize how low risk of a decision UW is. The worst case scenario is you go 9-4 under Pete.

They will get good coaching. The program is organized. The coaches care about the players and stay on them. The rules are consistent. Other schools are playing Victor and keeping Peters on the team. UW is a good school. Pete puts guys in the NFL. Fan base could be better, but is best in the PAC 12. Seattle is a real city.

I know that last paragraph is doogish, but it’s true. Kids are dumb and that’s fine, but parents and high school coaches should understand and consider some of this, especially the ones not getting money under the table. I can’t fault kids and their families for that.

The problem is parents let kids make their own decisions which is fucking dumb. These kids at this age are borderline retarded.

I bet 95% of this board was retarded at 17.
Christ, please leave the pick up analogies to DDY.

I mean, I get why a kid from California would go to USC. But having said that, I don't get why a kid would go to USC. Or certainly why they would let themselves be waitlisted or slow-played by USC. YOU are doing THEM the favor. It's like no coaching happens there. If USC tells a DB they have to wait and see if they are going to offer, the guy should tell them to fuck off and go elsewhere.

Just consider the last five years of NFL drafts. USC has had ONE 1st-rounder, a 3rd-rounder, a 4th-rounder and two 6th-round picks. And their lone 1st-round pick, Adoree Jackson, was taken that high primarily because he's an amazing punt returner.

Meanwhile, Washington in that same timeframe has two 1st-rounders and three 2nd-rounders. Two starting corners and one starting safety in the NFL. Do you think Washington has OUTRECRUITED USC over the past eight years? Or are they actually COACHING their players to get better?

USC has a QB coaching WRs who is the OC but isn't allowed to call plays or design the offense. WTF? Just listed to an NFL pre-draft podcast today where the scout said he looked at Porter Gustin and Nwosu from USC and while he liked their athleticism, they looked like they hadn't been taught any passrushing moves at all, just tried to run around guys. USC in a nutshell.
 
Okay, that got longwinded. The recruiting classes that made up those five NFL drafts were essentially 2009-2014. OF the CB's and S's recruited by each school for those years:

USC:
5-stars: 3
4-stars: 11
Top 100 overall: 5

Note: Adoree Jackson was ranked the #7 player in the country, went 1st round. T.J. McDonald was ranked the #32 player in the country, went 3rd round. So basically the only guys who went in day one or two of the draft for USC were guys considered 1st-round talents before they even showed up on campus.

UW:
5-stars: Zero
4-stars: 5
Top 100 overall: 1 (Budda Baker)

1st-rounders Desmond Trufant and Marcus Peters were ranked #877 and #489 overall. 2nd-rounders Kevin King and Sidney Jones were ranked #571 overall and NA. Sidney Jones was so little thought of he was ranked the 94th-best CB in the country.

Seriously, why would somebody trust their career development to USC?

You're missing the boat.

My brother in law was a Hackett recruit that played under Pete, and had a cup of Joe in the league.

There are USC advantages that the UW will never be able to touch. This extends far beyond football.

That is WHY.

HTH
 
I'd like to know about these USC advantages. Are we talking escorts and blow? Are we talking about shady ones like coffee cups full of cash? Or potentially real non-shady ones like alumni connections providing career opportunities, etc.?
 
All of the above. Clearest case of abundance, ever.

USC is what it is. When they get the right coach, we are truly fucked.

Just the home town. Like our fence around the state. USC is ingrained in the community. It's a dream

Pussy, money, weed!
 
Kevin King signed a contract worth $7.1 million. Budda Baker, $6.8 million. Sidney Jones, even after his injury, $6.1 million.

They can buy all the pussy & weed they want with that money. Somehow, "hanging out in LA" as an incentive pales in comparison....

If I’m reading his cryptic poast correctly I think he’s saying that his Bro-in-law went to Starbucks after he got drafted. BFD if you ask me.

Not really ... they can only take so many kids per year ... now that we've got Petersen for the long haul and results to match ... eventually we'll get close to them in recruiting (not surpass) but we'll outcoach and outdevelop the kids and the NFL will come calling more often.

USC will always get the lion's share of talent but there's lots leftover ... my question is whether Petersen needs to dip into the gangster pool like Don James did to get over the top or whether he can still fulfill the Boise St-plus-plus in-the-pac-12, OKG model.

(that hurt to type out)

Why do you hate Marcus Peters?
 
Been out of it for a while, but can update the following...
ND is out of it. He was set to sign early with them but now they are fourth & moved on.
UW jumped back into it. The family wants him on West Coast, & they are still fighting with USC.
Bama is interesting because they want him & he is interested, but I just don’t see him leaving the West Coast without some typical Bama shannanigans.
I still think if USC wants him & sweet talks him he ends up there. Then a tie between UW & Bama.

Confucius say woe onto Notre Dame's dilapidation. Donors make monuments more splendid than the actual dormitories and facilities, and counted the old men of their descent dearer than the names of their current players. Tired, broken coaches sit in aged halls musing on recruiting or in high-called towers asking questions of the priests.
