Duck fans flipping out about this St. Taggart Day Massacre. A bunch of kids I've never heard of committed.
Any UW targets other than Jaramillo?

Yeah those coaches will kill it in recruiting. It's a monster recruiting staff. Jaramillo is the only one we were in on with the guys they got. They'll be doing a lot of national recruiting with that staff.

Mario can flat out recroot. Know it now.
And he's dreamy as fuck ... taps into that other side of me you know what I mean? I know J does.
I know, I know. Shit poaster; shit poast.

There are three types of coaches who can recrute: (1) the ballz to the wallz recrooters who can't coach their way out of wet paper bag - they looze in spight of the fact they have the best players on the field. Ron Zook is the best all-time example of this coach, and Mora comes to mind too - doods who just can't fucking do anything with the oversupply of talent they get; (2) the ballz to the wallz recrooters who are mildy decent coaches, and though they will give up a game or two each year because they'll shit the bed on play-calling or whatever it is you need a good coach for, but they're good enough to let their horses dictate game outcome most days; and (3) the dream coach - both in ample supplies. Pete Carroll; Jimmy Johnson; Lou Holtz; Urban Meyer; Nick Saban; etc. I would have put Mack Brown somewhere between (1) and (2). Not (3) for sure.
Too early to tell where Peterman is in this category. Clearly, in all seriousness, a great coach. Whether he is a long-term top-line recruiter or not remains to be seen. His job and platform at Boise in recruiting terms was completely different from running the show at Washington. There, he benefited from the "well he's at Boise State so he can't compete with ..." No such slack at Montlake.

Five, 4-star kids from a scrimmage in April is definitely new waters for us. I would imagine they can do pretty well at an actual football game during football season.
The biggest thing I took away from the Spring Gayme is Leavitt had all the guys on defense going to where they were supposed to be. Brady Hoke and his 7-gap front with 7 guys that at most would only have 5 gaps covered every play was a little tiresome.

I remember when Sark pulled this off 4 years ago. I think 3 of the 8 guys actually signed with UW, and only 1 of them (Qualls) lasted past the 1st year.

Qualls and Lavon.

I think Sark was such an unbelievable dufus and cock sucker and moron and shit show that anybody should have to first PROVE they are his equal before it's assumed.
Kinda like assuming a QB from Notre Dame will be the next Joe Montana before he's had a chance to prove it, only on the other side of the spectrum. In each case, it's statistically unlikely anybody will be the next Joe Montana or the next Steve Sarkisian.
People that bad don't just fall out of the sky every day you know. He was a speshul kind of dipshit - the sort that doesn't come around every day.
I really don't know that much about Taggart. He reminds me of the Dallas Carter coach in Friday Night Lights - complete with Lolly Pop.
But like I said - the one guy I do know about is Cristobal. People bring him on staff to recruit because he can.

It's nice. Hopefully these kids stick. 5 4-stars in 24 hours is kind of unprecedented for us? even when we? were good.
One thing I've heard is that this is part of the reason Taggart cleaned house, was because the old staff, and everyone connected with all that program continuity approached recruiting with a "aw shucks we're little Oregon, and we're just happy to be a hat on the table" attitude. Taggart's approach is that Oregon is a blue-chip program with blue-chip facilities, blue-chip donor support, and blue-chip coffee cups.
Taggart brought 30 4* and 5* guys to Eugene for the Spring gayme, on unofficial visits. That in itself impresses me. Now he got almost a quarter of them to commit, same day, impresses me even moar. I know Leavit and Cristobal can coach. So, this has me feeling pretty happy.
