I love Malloe and think he's a great coach but honest question, when is the last time he won a major recruiting battle?
Sir Mells, 2022 3* DT, Henderson (Liberty), NV (Considering options)

- Start date

Two cycles ago with Tuitele and Bandes which were major battles and huge wins. None last year. None this year though I'm a huge fan of the DT's he grabbed. Those dudes can play.

It's really strange with Malloe. He either gets absofuckinglutely nothing or he gets every worthwhile DT in the footprint. There's really no in between until JTT heads to Oregon.
Just sticking to rankings and other offers, Malloe cleaned up with consecutive classes bookended by nothing. 2017 was... crickets. 2018 was Letuligasenoa, Taimani, Bynum, and Nasili-Liu. 2019 was Tuitele, Bandes, Paama, Ngalu. 2020 was... crickets.
I completely stopped paying attention to recruiting outside of the in-state five-star guys for this cycle, but sounds like the gang here are pretty stoked on the two DTs for 21 also. Not sure how much of a battle either of them were to get to UW, but you can't possibly say Letuligasenoa, Tuitele, and Bandes weren't big time victories, and I believe every one of the rest had P5 offers as well.
Malloe's problem is that JTT exists. If he didn't, everyone would be pretty stoked on him right now. Missing the number one overall player right in your backyard, though... It's understandable why that would taint his recent record.

Malloe has signed plenty of defensive linemen others want. Getting kids out of Utah while Utah is actually a good program is worthwhile.
He does also seem to strike out every few years. It’s a weird deal. But this last cycle he signed two prospects that would be considered good for the west coast. I am sure other schools didn’t stop recruiting them and they did not seem to ever be in doubt. He has also helped with other front 7 prospects.

Ballz scouting report
UW is not beating anybody without a stud NT like this who can stop the run. This kid is built like a refrigerator. He’s going to be a tank in the middle. Not a sexy pickup. But a good one. Nice to see Ikaika can recruit D-lineman who aren’t Poly.

In the 2017 class Malloe had Marlon T committed for almost a year and if the early signing period existed back then he probably would be a Husky (unless he lost a ton of weight and needed to move to LA to be closer to his family in Oregon). He got Ali Gaye in the boat but would have needed to put in a Tosh like effort to get him eligible. The year after he almost landed Togiai before closing with Taki and Tuli.
Overall I'd say he's money with Poly recruits unless he's going up against LJ or has to deal with shenanigans from the family.

He should have a good class this year. Burrell to UW is looking pretty good.
More than anything, we need a really strong defensive class this year. Last couple years the offensive class has been way better.

Our secondary is gonna be razor thin soon without some difference makers.

Isn't Burrell a PK recruit?
We're not there yet, but could be in the next couple years. KamFab, Esteen, and Covington intrigue me and we could see a guy like Cam Williams, Asa, Hampton, or Irvin suddenly "get it" but yeah, we need a major haul at db this year. Gordon should be serviceable as a Molden replacement but may only stick around 1 more year. McDuffie will be gone after next year.

I expect some of those guys to step up. But we are used to having all American type level players back there. Not all of them were but usually have a couple that are close to that level and people waiting in the Wings. I don’t have confidence in Harris to recruit or develop those guys. Don’t know anything about brown yet. At the end of the day this is lakes specialty and needs to figure it out.

He's not a great athlete, but he's strong and can shed blocks. Not any worse than Tuli, for what that's worth. If he has better length than Tuli and can shed blocks at the next level, he'll be a good pickup.
Who among us hasn’t tried to slide into the DMs of a high school boy?
I was only 14 for the first part of my sophomore football season. He's probably 15 years old in those highlights and is hauling around about 6 inches (height you fucks) and 150lbs more than most of us were at that age. A kid that age is going to look a bit awkward and slow at that size even if he's getting the best S&C training in the world.
I'm not going to judge his athleticism to seriously until he's at least a junior.

Yeah, I was actually thinking the same after posting.
