This really was a great thread.
We have seen these type of recruits from @TTJ post already paying dividends. In Pete's first transition class he took the best guys he had committed at Boise (Gaines, Pettis, Sample, Dissly, Jaylen Johnson, etc) and simply brought them to UW. He added Budda, McGary, and Sidney Jones, JoJo McIntosh and built the core of this team in a transition class of a mediocre program.
It shows his eye for talent and evaluation. It's arguably his best skill as a coach. It's hard to say that though because it goes hand in hand with player development.
They were not heralded recruits but he didn't have time to get a bunch of those guys. That class was fucking huge to getting this thing rolling and worthy of a thread of its own.
It's harder to tell for the past two classes because it's too early to judge a lot of guys, but some lower ranked recruits like Beavers, BBK, Harris, and Fuller are already paying dividends.
