The Fisching Report Recruiting Thread Sponsored by The Fisch Bowl

I unfortunately just don't see it happening with recruiting. I really feel like we're going to be getting the same class DeBoer would have got now, with maybe a few of the "are they really four star?" guys he might have passed on to boost the ranking a bit.
agreed
 
I always thought the Ballmer stuff and using Amazon/MSFT money to buy a class was a long shot at best, but by the time this cycle ends I do think they will be around 20 or so.
People that actually watch tape closely (I don't) thought DeBoer's #32 class was a top 25 class. We're never not going to try and outscout people or rely on taking some guys like Wayne where we let some other school overpay for them first and then they're ready to come back and work.
 
i forgot we picked Wayne back up

This roster is so much better than it's being given credit for
My problem is that people are acting like 5-7 or 6-6 isn't even a question.
So after we roll through our soft ooc schedule we only win 2 games? Northwestern, Indiana, UCLA. Iowa is a shittier version of Utah and doesn't have a cake divional schedule anymore. Everyone seems to think USC is soft. Rutgers is better lately but..
It's schedule that practically gifts 7+ wins. These B1G teams don't have as much skill talent as the incoming Pac schools.

Yeah, Wayne was a nice little forgotten pickup. I forgot about the DEs/OLBs from Arizona too. I think the spring portal was disappointing so everyone kind of forgot DeBoer actually had some decent pick ups in winter who stayed and a few nice pieces came from Arizona, beyond Coleman and Prysock, who are also being forgotten a bit.
DeBoer's recruiting was underrated and I think he saw through some of the overrating of four star guys, especially out west. It's gonna suck if Austin Mack specifically ends up being great.
 
thatcher went the sister wives route citing coaching stability. Fag.
I was wondering about that and thinking that you must be legally retarded if you believe that Whittingham is going to stay in that limp dick conference for much longer.
Maybe not having to get his ass kicked by Washington and Oregon anymore has reinvigorated him?
 
Seems like we're at a crossroads right now of WDWHA under Fisch - if he pulls 3 better or equal four-star LBs it's true and a guy like Thatcher was a WDWHA guy. Him not putting UW's hat on the table tells me he may have been dropped and bitter.
I only want to see them taking guys with multiple quality Big 10 and SEC offers/visits.

There will be more WDWHA under Fisch. Fisch already has more offers out in this year than any year under DeBoer, Lake, or Petersen.
We have 20+ offers out to LBs and we're probably only taking 2.

I wonder what this recruiting strategy is… air mail offers but not all of them are committable?
I wish I knew what I was talking about.
 
Well I have to tell myself there's no way they're losing a guy to SMU (where he is currently Criscoballed to). Looks like he's on an official visit to Oklahoma so maybe he's committing and shutting it down.
A few things now point to them knowing how they're filling out the LB position, but we've also been here before and ended up having to take Will Latu.

SMU has oil money
