Tosh Lupoi can recruit, but what happens once he gets the players. Can he coach? Cal has sucked in recent years and Tennessee has sucked even more. BFD.

Wwos, Tosh Lupoi is 29, so (they say) he just connects to the recruits and builds a relationship with them moreso than older coaches because the age difference isnt that big. He can come across like a peer at times. One of the things he’s known for is playing XBox with the guys he recruits.

When assistant coaches are referred to as ‘ace recruiters’ it just screams NCAA violations to me. What else are you possibly doing to convince these kids that ___ is where they want to be. It’s just creepy/stalker shit that makes me cringe.

Big reason they’ve been smallish has been because they’ve had to play kids too early. First couple years under Sark they played like 14 true freshman each year, and this year it went down to like 5 I think, and Sample is getting his year back. Finally starting to build some depth.

I agree, but they still seem to excel at getting skill players and the line recruits are not as strong. I am a long time fan and remember when every fatass line prospect from South Kitsap and every monster lineman came here.

Sark will got to BYU in 3 Years. Book it.

BYU isn’t going to hire a non-Mormon as head football coach. Will never happen.

Have to get better at getting bigger (size) at positions where small and fast is detrimental.

Washington will be good in two years, not next year. No talent on Defense. Nick Holt sucked, but Wilcox is overrated. Sark will got to BYU in 3 Years. Book it.

Haha. “The Big 10 should be better”. My face when…

lot of horrible teams in the Pac10

Only team I’d call horrible is Colorado.

Hopefully we can steal some of the recruits these new guys had at their old schools. Very exciting times. I bash Holt as much as the next guy, but he was a “hot” coordinator when he came here, too. Have to get better at getting bigger (size) at positions where small and fast is detrimental.

Are you retarded?

lot of horrible teams in the Pac10. Washington will probably be top 3 or top 4 in the conference for a long time.

UW’s schedule is rough

They did draw the best of the bunch in the league plus LSU. That’s a bit of a bitch. The 4 tough games are really tough.

If they can’t, something is terribly wrong as the Pac 12 blows next year.

UW’s schedule is rough. Their conference misses are UCLA and ASU, and have a stretch where they play @LSU, Portland State, Stanford, @Oregon, USC (might be the wrong order on those last 3, but the point remains). If they win every game they’re favored in (should be in all the rest), that’s only 8, more than that would be gravy.

They’re gonna lose one of those. Just as easy as you said they will win all 7, they’re gonna lose one of those.

I guess they could, but that offense should be pretty damn good next year. Agree that they could certainly slip up though. Still think 8-4 is where they finish.

Washington has 7 gimme wins next year

They’re gonna lose one of those. Just as easy as you said they will win all 7, they’re gonna lose one of those.

SEC, Big 12 and the Big 10 should be better all around than the Pac 12. Washington could very well be the 3rd best team in the conference next year, depending on what Stanford and Cal do.
