Fuck Peterman. I want stars.
It's a proven formula: more stars = more wins.
Yeah, you have to develop them and call a good game and get some good game strategery but overall, the regression line shows a tight fit between stars and titles.
Let the Mountain West take the OKGs. I want killers.
Nice false dichotomy you have there.
Given like 6 weeks to work with Petersen pulled in a much better class than he ever had at Boise. He had way more 4 stars than he ever had, fewer 2 stars, and pulled easily his highest rated recruit ever. The idea that he's going to recruit the same caliber of athlete he did at Boise was debunked in the time it takes Vanilla to implement next day site changes.
Yes, classes full of stars are usually better than classes that aren't. But there's also lowly rated guys who have plenty of talent. The Seahawks just finished loudly proclaiming what happens when you can outscout and outdevelop everybody else, and wouldn't you know it, Petersen has consistently displayed the ability to both scout well and develop well. Now he's at a place where he's already displayed the ability to beat other schools out for guys he couldn't get at Boise. UW may never have top 10 classes under Petersen (though I'm not convinced this is true), but we should always have above average classes that play way up thanks to superior scouting and development.
why do you hate stars my sweet caroline?
I thought we were historically on the same page with this one.
I want stars. Simple as that. Is it that hard to do? I'll give him a pass this year. 6 weeks isn't a lot of time, even if you are a big name like he is.
but next year, I want stars. not getting that at boise state is understandable. now he has the name, the facilities, the conference platform, the cool shiny new unis, the green non-homo turf, the whole package.
no excuses. I want to out-star the conference.
