Let's see here:
1. Our veteran WR's are JAGs and that's easy for any WR recruit to see
2. We only have one WR in this class and will only take a maximum of two
3. We have the best QB depth chart in the nation
4. Bush is a stud recruiter
5. Petersen is the best head coach in the conference. Helton is meh. Cristobal is all talk and a loser.
6. John Ross and Dante Pettis
It's an easy sell. Out of Ngata, Ford, and McCoy I have to believe at least one of them is smart enough to pick UW.
We don't have the best QB depth chart in the country. These recruits don't care who the 2nd and 3rd string QB's are.
Clemson will get elite WR recruits because of their past history with WR's, the elite status they have reached, and Trevor Lawrence. They don't care about back up QB's.
Yes we do. Who's is better?
Never said Clemson wasn't a great option for Ngata.
No we don't. Locker, Montana, and Heaps would have also been considered the best QB depth chart in the CPI try at one point. Same for Price, Miles, Lindquist, and Williams.
One amazing, proven QB like Vince Young, Cam Newton, Mayfield, etc is better than any hypothetical QB depth based on their high school rankings.
I'm excited for Eason. Even he worries me that he'll play somewhat well, be nothing special, and still leave early and be picked in the first two rounds.
The rest are meh. And I was a big Yankoff guy. Trevor Lawrence wouldn't be behind Jake Haener. It doesn't mean Yankoff and Simeon suck, but I doubt either amount to anything special.
