The only way Bob Gregory will get a recruit to sign is if Lake, Malloe, and/or Pete are doing all the heavy lifting for him. Gregory is as useless as tits on a nun. Shit can this fucking idiot. And 86 Bhonerpha while you're at it.
The only thing Gregory needs to be canned from is Special Teams
The lbs have been good borderline great with okay recruiting, and according to the rankings we have gone nowhere but up
Damn near every LB on the roster is now a 4 star. The ones that arent are 3 stars everyone offerend, which to me is the same as a 4 star (Jackskn Sirmon, Ah You). The fact Ulofoshio getting PT is a possibility means he is out performing good recruits. He looked like a thumper on special teams all last season as a frosh
BBK, Victor, Keishawn, all solid players outperforming star rankings. Bartlett was okay, Beavers decent when healthy. I think the current recruits we have are going to be a lot better (Hammer, Calvert, Tafisi, etc.)
If Gregory recruits even a bit better and gets all 4 stars this group will always be great, maybe even "elite"
In a list of the top 5 reasons why UW is not elite, lbs are not there. Not even top 10
lol.
Gregory's such a stellar recruiter that Jake Wambaugh and Kyler Manu were getting serious minutes all last year. Look at our depth chart... we're a Wellington injury away from being up shits creek.
"not in the top 10 reasons UW isn't elite"... lulz. ILB is probably the number one question mark on the defense this year. We also haven't had an outside pass rush in three years. But, yeah... not in the top 10. Christ.
Wambaugh and Manu getting minutes was a product of Beavers and Wellington injuries.
Again, LB is behind every offensive position group going into next season and also DL as far as concern.
Units that Im more concerned about than LB:
QB
WR
OL
RB
D LINE
BUCK
SPECIAL TEAMS
All worry me more than ILBs
Anyone who has watched any Husky Football the past 3 years would come to the same conclusion. Sorry you don't.
Holy shit.
You're more concerned about the DL... A position where we have Levi (a potential All American), and two studs that redshirted while still getting 4 games experience - one of which (Taimani) the coaches raved about all spring, plus perhaps the best DL class the program's ever signed. And you're more concerned about that group than ILB. That's complete fucking nonsense.
Wellington is the only ILB with any game experience at all... and he's never made it through a season without being hurt. Because Greggy was so terrible at recruiting the only upperclass depth we have behind him is Kyler fucking Manu. All our talent is in our freshman classes. I'm not sure what we have with Sirmon and Tafisi... hopefully they'll be good but none of us know. I really like the freshman class.... I think Hammers and Calvert will be all conference down the road. But a team that has playoff aspirations relying on a bunch of true freshman at ILB is not exactly ideal. But you're more worried about the DL?? Jesus fucking christ.
We're not relying on true Freshman. Ariel Ngata is a RS Sophomore. Sirmon, Tafisi, and Ulofoshio are RS Freshman. Calvert will play as a true Freshman because he proved himself to be a quick study as a true Freshman this Spring. He's going to be special. We already know they're good players just like we already know Dom Hampton and Kyler Gordan and Taki Taimani and Laiatu Latu are good players. Talent is talent. It doesn't fucking matter that they haven't played yet. Talent wins games the vast majority of the time. When you stack talent and increase the competition level, whoever rises to the top will always be really good no matter what their experience level is. That's why recruiting is everything. Experience only matters for mediocre programs who haven't recruited as well as UW the past few years.
Ballz and PGOS make for an amazing special needs tag team.
