I love the way we offer pretty much every player on the west coast a schollie filling up our classes before all the big time recruits commit. Result? A bunch of 7-6 caliber players with maybe 1 or 2 really worth a damn and a handful of D4 studs.
Sark's recruiting, especially on the line-of-scrimmage does need to get better and that must come from not only winning more games, but also consistently winning UW's fair share of games against those schools Sark is competing against for the best recruits, namely Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, USC, and UCLA. See how that works in a competitive World....... recruiting in college ball is a tough game.
I'm less concerned with Sark's recruiting classes than I am for how well his staff is developing those recruits. The magnitude of improvement in the Husky defense last season under a completely new defensive staff is indicative of what I believe has been Sark's bigger problem....... the quality of his staff of assistants and how he's managed them. With the coaching changes this past Winter on offense, Sark's staff has now been almost completely turned over since he first arrived at Montlake.
Let us hope Sark's offensive changes payoff as well as the defensive staff changes have thus far.
