Must be such a relief for local coaches

Was obvious that many loathed Sark and his snake oil. But at the same time, you know they'd prefer kids to stay home and close to their programs. Must have been hard to have to let so many studs go out of state.

Now, you can genuinely see that guys like Miller are confident in Pete and in encouraging kids to stay close to home. Given this year & last year, think we are seeing the new norm: Washington kids are going to UW, no questions asked.

That includes Skinny, book it.
 
From here on out I can see the Huskies getting the majority of the top in-state kids. Oregon, being Oregon, is going to get some of them as well. That's been happening for awhile, this year included. But it really does feel like a corner in program prestige and stability has been turned and UW will once again be the first option for most of the blue chippers. It hasn't been that way for awhile.

I just want the best players. I don't care if they are from Mars!!!!1!

If Peterman is going to recruit players from Mars, he should do it soon because Mars will be engulfed by the sun in a few billion years.

I wouldn't say prestige... Stability yes. It has more to do with Peterman's pedigree than UW suddenly being a prestigious school for kids born in 1998.
 
@doogville‌ You have some insight on Skinny? What makes you think he's gonna de-commit? Georgia coaches have said that he is helping more in the recruiting process than any other player they've had in a while. He seems locked in on the Bulldogs if he's doing all that.

 
It also helps that Leach is at Wazzu who abandoned recruiting the NW faster than he abandons a kid with a concussion in the electrical closet.

When was wazzu ever pulling away anyone uw wanted?
 
If we want to continue to get the best players from in state, we have to win. Sark did a really good job in state his first two years too. It took a little bit for everyone to realize he was a used car salesman. He also pitched players on doing something special and building a champion, but got stuck at 7-6.

Nothing more than the common sense that a commit by a junior from WA to play in Georgia isn't worth the paper it isn't printed on.

Pete has plenty of time to continue to build that relationship and has shown he can close with kids who were initially sure they wanted to leave the state.

You're worried Pete has the same ceiling as Sark? That's an actual thing you've spent a second thinking about?

Sark sucked at in and out of state recruiting. He recruited to website message boards and never developed an executable comprehensive strategy. Most coaches knew he was a used car salesman long before he took the Washington job.

Wipe your chin. Sark is gone and he ain't coming back.

 
I hate to say it but if I'm Eason, I'm at least going to wait until spring ball to see how the offense changes now that Magna Carta and Browning are in the house. We have to remember that Richt is in his ear about how he can make him into 2nd coming of Matthew Stafford and another 1st pick in the draft.

It also doesn't look like Georgia will take a QB in the 2015 class so Richt also could've promised Eason that he wouldn't take one if Eason holds to his pledge as well.

idk, if "Skinny" doesn't de-commit soon I don't see it happening. Rarely do you see QBs flip late in the game...

ALL the tea leaves show Skinny leaving the state. Would love the be wrong, but don't think I am.

What in state player other than Heaps did Sark miss on his first two years? I'll be waiting. It was year 3 when he missed Garnett, Banner, Russell, Williams, etc. that's not an opinion, it's a fact. Go look it up.

You aren't telling me anything I don't know regarding Sark's recruiting. I actually follow this stuff and know what I am talking about.

You never have any fucking clue what you are posting about. Unfortunately, there are more posters like you now that snuck through the gates.

Recruits want to win. If Petersen doesn't have it going by year three, there will inevitably be in state recruits that go elsewhere. I like Petersen and think he will do well, but every post doesn't have to suck him off.
