Nik Little (WR, Golden West College) to UW

I understand that we are depleted at WR, but why waste rides on kids who suck? I haven't watched the film, but I believe Dennis and the others. Let's be real, JC guys aren't available in June if they are any good. Same goes for the QB. I would rather just sign more players for the 16' class.

The only thing saving me from straight out suicide in reaction to this news is that... if I know this and you know this ("JC guys aren't available in June if they are any good"), then Pete must know this, right?

There are two theories at tension in my mind here:

1) Pete knows what he's doing and has been proven to evaluate/develop talent.
2) Human hubris knows no bounds and they are overconfident and convincing themselves they are doing something that is innovative or clever when they are really just being stupid.

I can't tell. But—on the info I have to go with (the film and the JC in the summer thing)—this guy is horrible.
 
Lot of arm chair QBs here on recruiting. Forgive me if I take Rick's Gilby's Ty's Sark's Petermen's evaluation over yours
 
Yeah, after looking into it a bit more, he was injured for most of his sophomore year and only played in 2 games. The highlight video in the OP is from his freshman year, and his film from the sophomore year looks somewhat better. For those curious:

I understand what you mean, finding WRs with higher talent levels and 5 years to play 4, but the Little will be playing this fall whereas '16 kids are still a year away. The point of taking these JUCOs now is that they'll be playing this year. And if he's only here for 2 years, then he frees up a scholarship for '17, so it's not like he's taking up too much space right now.
 
Gotta love attention to punctuation, it can save lives:

I read that he was projected to be one of the top JC WRs in the country before getting hurt. He'll be used in redzone situations as an extra body.

Also, Claypool ain't coming here. He's as far as an Oregon lean as you can get without being a commit
 
I gotta trust the coaches vs. trying to score pay dirt with Kyle Lewis (remember him?), Taylor Hindy, or Matthew Lyons, or Brett Williams, or....

Plus, what if Lenius gets hurt? We have no WR's over 6'1 besides him (Renfro is listed at 6'1 and 6'2 but I tend to go with the lower heights). I see this is as a depth move (like Tony Rodriguez) where there really no downside (3 years to play 2 they could be considered either part of the 2012 class or 2013 class).

13 guys (not including Miles) from the 2012 class are no longer on the roster and 6 guys are already gone from the 2013 class so it's not the worse thing in the world to bring in guys with experience to create more veteran depth for 2015.
 
Depth can sometimes be the difference between going 6-6 (give or take a win) and going 4-8. With Ross now sitting out the year and assuming Miles is a goner, WR and QB is where the Huskies have the youngest depth for 2015.

The season was already over.

It's also worth noting that the incoming WRs might not be ready to play this year. Keep in mind that playing WR is more than catching the ball, but also blocking and not getting killed after catching the ball in the middle of the field. Looking at weights alone, our 4 freshmen WRs arriving this fall are 165 (Baccellia), 166 (Pounds), 180 (McClatcher), and 185 (Renfro).

Flagged for implying that the season isn't over at 6-6
 
Uh, that was my way of agreeing with him. 4-8 is a dumpster fire and 6-6 isn't much better so how did you arrive at thinking that I was saying it's going to be a kick ass 2015(!!!!)?

wow he has the slowest get off I have ever seen with absolutely zero wiggle. Every ball caught is wildly contested. Im sure he has good hands and all but he will never be open. I really hope he is a walk-on. But if we are bashing the kids Im out
 
This will give us a 5 wide set of:

6'5" Lenius
6'4" Perkins
6'4" Daniels
6'5" Nik Little
6'5" Ajamu

Cover that in 1-1 coverage, you Pac-12 midget CBs!!!1!!@!!!!!!11!!!!!!!!!
