Good call.One more and we can assume it’s Shumpert and his bros
Why do you hate Washington?This one caught me by surprise. I think one of the players is from Texas because a coach tweeted about getting a big time player from a big time state.
Wasn't there a defensive end from Florida or Louisiana that was high on the Cougs?This one caught me by surprise. I think one of the players is from Texas because a coach tweeted about getting a big time player from a big time state.

Yes, that is who I was thinking about. Thanks. I honestly have no idea. Perhaps Patu, the linebacker from California?Yes. Jamarion Peterson from LA. I don't think he's committing at this time.
My gut on this says one of the commits is a linebacker and the other is a receiver. By missing out on a couple of WR's and an instate LB, I think they are letting some recruits know they need to commit or we'll move on.

Not mine. Watch the film. I'm assuming you're talking about the CCSF linebacker.Gonna guess it’s the linebacker who we offered for the first power 5 offer. Sure to ruffle the feathers.
Why do half the 3-5 star players from Washington State reject Washington State so much? I can't figure it out.Why do you hate Washington?

I would say this about the West Coast in general...
There are regions in the nation where kids jump on offers. You’ll see classes fill up fast.
The West Coast kids don’t make fast decisions. It looks like they wait and don’t decide until late.
I don’t know if that is because they are just slower in the process or they are unimpressed with their offers.
Coffee cups of cash. And 18 years of being told by a bunch of goons that couldn't get into WSU that the school is second rate, nomatter how many wins, bowl games, All-Americans, college graduates and NFL draft picks WSU produces.
Getting stomped in the AC year in and year out doesn't help either. I mean a complete no-show for 7 of the years CML was here. It begs the question of whether or not in-state recruiting can be directly correlated to AC success. I seem to remember some pretty decent Seattle kids being recruited by CMP during the 90's after going 3-3 from 92 to 97.

Looks like it could be them. A couple nice gets if so.Jayvhian Gipson is announcing tomorrow at 5 local time. That's #1.
Jaden Hicks was crystal balled by Blair Angelo with a high degree of confidence. He's a safety with an handful of power 5 offers.
If it's these two, I'd be pleased.
Doba and his staff were highly criticized for going to Texas. People are going to complain. If it is not one thing, they will find something else to bitch about. I would rather win. If Doba had won more, people would have complained about his clothes, or his shoes, or his hair... If they are good players and want to be Cougars, that is all that matters. Yet, there will be many that still disagree.This is why I never had any problem with WSU going after CA & Fla kids. You don't have to overcome decades of negative recruiting to win kids down there. Guys like Tracy Ford, Furness & Puckett were full of crap with their complaints about it. I guarantee you Ford has never once advocated a kid go to WSU if that kid had other comparable offers, even if the kid was tailor made for the Air Raid.

nah, I was ready for a change. Love, love, love Doba - a true Coug through and through, but you could see the program deteriorating from within.If Doba had stayed in 2008 and won that AC as well, I don't think he would have been subject to the wrath of the fans. No way this fan base turns on a coach who went 4-2 in the AC.
Screw Washington for recruiting—using the number of NFL players as a metric for talent production, the state flat out blows. And more often than not, the really highly rated players end up flopping—look at Max Browne, Jake Heaps, and to a lesser extent Jacob Eason as exhibits 1, 2, and 3. Cali, Texas, and Florida produce the most pros, which is where we should be focusing.This is why I never had any problem with WSU going after CA & Fla kids.

My post really wasn't about Doba. My post was about we should recruit where we can get the best players to come to Pullman. It really is not an efficient use of resources to go all out in the state of Washington. I know by some people that Leach gets knocked for not recruiting Washington, but he did get several offensive lineman in our state. You ask and then move on if it isn't going to happen. It isn't worth spending time here if players have a negative attitude toward WSU. Who can forget DeVante Downs? He tripped to WSU and was sent home early because all he did was trash WSU on his visitThe midnight run through Texas scooping up anyone that might qualify, after missing out on the plan A guys and having no plan B seemed like the problem to me.
I see nuance in most things, but this is really simple.
- Ford and WA coaches are trying to get Power 5 rides for players who otherwise would be going to the Mountain West or Big Sky.
- Furness and Puckett simply are, if not idiots in the literal sense, what I charitably might term low- to moderate-information fans who have a traditional media outlet.
- The further you get from Seattle, the more WSU becomes a solid research university in a cool, albeit rural, college town with a pretty solid Power 5 football program and good facilities, with that program having been pretty good recently (won the Alamo Bowl, went 11-2, and finished in the top 10 a couple years ago). The closer you get to Seattle, it becomes what has been described in this thread.
