Maybe this Throckmorton kid will turn into a nice OL ... but let's be honest, he's a middle of the pack OL (by rankings) that Sark would have ended up defaulting into at the end after he whiffed on all of the other top OL he made late runs at after remembering that you need to recruit the OL.

Even better IMO that Oregon is taking these kind of middle of the pack OL so early in the recruiting process ... Helfrich is no Chip Kelly.
 
It's a shame Petersen let Throckmorton get away. I had talked to a former UW assistant while on the Sarkisian coaching staff and he assured me he was going to get him and every other recruit they were going after.

I'm not saying Petersen can't recruit with the big boys so don't go twisting. Just said he hasn't proven he can recruit on this stage yet. I mean look at Dan Hawkins for an example.

My silence on Urban Myer speaks volumes though.

Meh....kind of sounds like bias. Oregon, Michigan and Miami offered an in-state OL and we didn't get him. Oregon also got the other OL too who had a few good offers. I'm not worried about Oregon but I'd be worried about losing in-state lineman.

This. If Sark didn't get this guy a lot would be crying over it and bashing Sark. This doesn't change my opinion of Peterman at all, but the wdwha shit is stupid. It's never okay to lose an in state lineman with those offers.

It's only the second tier programs that convince themselves that losing in state lineman is okay and sometimes unavoidable.
 
Offers from Michigan and Miami (and Oregon) are impressive. But Petersen and staff make their own evals and are very deliberate with their offers.

I know nothing about Throckmorton. But I'm LIPO-ing this.
 
The pirate is doing some fine TBS too. Just landed a 4 star LB who had committed to Cal and is eligible now. Plus this class has three 4* guys which is quite a bit for WSU.

I think under the Pirate they are going to be like what Oregon State was under Reiley. Make consistent second tier bowls.
 
The best part of the Pirate's current recruiting good fortune will be the coog meltdowns in January when all these guys start committing to the schools they will really attend

Those are always the best when they get a false sense of hope that a 4 star is theirs until he isn't.

You get great Coog pressing such as that Bishop Sankey article where they claimed he'll be playing at Eastern in a year.

And of course the coogs will rep their team like they are in the same tier with Alabama. UW will "suck" too even though they will have a better record every year and beat the Coogs almost every year.

What I'm saying is let it play out.

If we end up getting a sub par OL class, then losing Throckmorton will be a bigger issue than it is right now.

Petersen's resume suggests that there's no reason to worry until there's a reason to worry.

I think we've been so conditioned with such poor in-state recruiting in the last few years to worry about every person that we lose. But let's see who Petersen's going to get before we complain about guys like Throckmorton and Lemieux.

I'm hearing next year is a bumper crop. I'm not all that worried about Thockmorton. I barely even follow recruiting. I'm not going to act like this a good thing like you are though.

It's way too early in Peterman's time here to worry about one recruit. The reason Sark was bashed was because he lost the majority of worthy in state recruits. Losing a guy here and there is probably inevitable, but save the wdwha, it's great Oregon got him bullshit.
