Something is up for sure. Oregon dethroned them as the top recruiting draw in the West. I don't know how much of that is cause and how much is effect.Something has been up at USC. Even when they were mediocre under Kiffin and Sark they still recruited and had talent. They haven't recruited the way they used to in years and being mediocre for so long has caught up with them. Unfortunately, Oregon has capitalized on it and UW hasn't really done shit other than basically be USCesque outside of 2022-23 and even then, we still recruited like we were Cal.If SC has a breakout, playoff season this year the media and talking heads will forget that the last two years of Riley ever happened. Hype train refueled...I'll just be a doog here and say that everything smells like yeah, Riley could break out this year now that it's year 2 of a decent DC and corrected some mistakes here and there, but it looks like they're really desperate now that it's clear that him, Jen, and possibly Musselman are looking like busts. Go throw another 15 mil on players to justify your 12+ mil coach that is winning 7-8 games.Wonder if Tafa still takes his official visits. I think "we" got the kiss of death of I think Doogman saying his mom told them she would choose him to go to UW right now.
I assume USC is throwing a lot of cash at recruits to commit and generate some program momentum. I'm not saying that in a doog way like we're better than that or shouldn't be doing that.
Huh? Oregon doesn't have a single class ranked higher than USC by 247 in any of those years and a lot of times it's not even close. Getting De'Anthony Thomas away from USC gets a lot of clout. From what I remember, Oregon's recruiting under Chip was kind of underwhelming given their brand and amount of success at the time and his hatred of recruiting got called out. They did pull some nice big pieces though. It's not a coincidence their recruiting has taken major steps forward since public bags became legal.Oregon was beating USC in recruiting under Chip. It's not a recent thing. It's not luck either
USC has been ultra soft against Oregon yeah but you said they were beating USC in recruiting which is just not true in the TBS rankings. Chip and Helfrich taking lower rated try hard guys who really helped carry their water over the years was an underrated aspect of the program though.8-3 since 07
On field results beat recruiting championships
Huh
Which is why I'm not buying the Fisch recruiting deal until he can get results on the field
I don't care if DeBoer couldn't recruit. He could win
I said Oregon was beating USC in recruitingYou've moved these goal posts here so many times you might as well throw them in that river like Vandy at this point.
I think Rankings absolutism is dumb too, depending on who's doing the ranking, but we were definitely not beating Oregon in recruiting on any level during the DeBoer years which is why their fans couldn't even shut the fuck up as a group of 500 people watching their team play Liberty.If they are beating them on the field they are beating them in recruiting
Same goes for the Dawgs
They were better than both Oregon and USC in 22 and 23
