It's really sad to see how far the UW Athletic Department has fallen and the shroud of secrecy that they are allowed to operate in
You can point to a number of different items that Jen has presided over in terms of just her hiring activity that is just flat out disastrous on an ADs resume
I haven't seen any evidence that Jen and UW wasn't completely caught with their pants down at the LA school leaving and having literally zero Plan B's outside of the Big 10
The NIL stuff ha largely been a joke the entire time ... but you have tons of people running interference and trying to say those being critical don't know what they are talking about (just look at the results)
And on top of it all, Jen backdoored her way to the AD seat by talking behind Pool Boy's back at how he was managing the budget ... now Jen presides over a world where there is literally zero chance for her to not run the ICA's funding into the ground barring a life vest from the Big10
Why would there be any evidence? It's publicly known that UW and Oregon had no clue what was going on.
As to NIL, we brought back every eligible starter from an 11-2 team, including Rome.
0% chance that happens with terrible NIL.
They want proven players and there's more Petersen shit to the program than there is Tedford. It just is what it is. But that approach has brought a season that was much more fun than any of Petersen's seasons.
Traditional High School recruiting is fucking dead and boring anyways. Who wants to be some CFB cuck fan that's creaming over a high school class one year and then cheering it on the next after they're all transferring and being replaced by the next class. Oregon and Texas A&M are paste eating dumb fuck schools.
This is a response that not even Billy Madison would be proud of
Sorry there isn't a bunch of tbs busts for you to jerk off to.
Could always pop in that Michigan TCU tape..
This is a horrendous try hard post … which is saying something for you
I have long been on record of not watching HS tape until after a player has signed with UW on Signing Day
HS recruiting matters because it is still the most direct way to add talent to your roster and there are a lot of positive reasons to do so starting with getting them embedded within your culture, systems, and development. Moreover, while there is a speculative element to any NIL funds paid it’s at a fraction of what it is to go after any top line players in the portal (to which UW isn’t competitive at that level if NIL either)
When you talk about the NIL being effective for keeping players in school for this coming year, which players specifically are you talking about? Also, in the context of those players, pay close attention to how many of those players were recruited to UW out of HS versus those that came to UW via the portal. When you examine those %’s you’ll get a sense for why HS recruiting will always matter.
Finally, I know that you in particular (and there are others as well) love to rip on TCU because you think they are so inferior to UW. You may not know this, but TCU this academic year is the only program in the CFP era to make the CFP, the NCAA Tournament, and the College World Series[/i][/b] all in the same year. I’d consider that a fairly impressive accomplishment.
IF UW isn’t able to get into the B10 and is stuck in a bastardized version of the P10, then you can take it to the bank that TCU will have a stronger athletic department in the sports that really move the needle than UW as long as UW is not in one of the B2 conferences
