Interesting...please expand on that.If Cooper doesn't start this year, I am not dure he ever will.

Interesting. How well Cooper leads will determine his fate.If Cooper doesn't start this year, I am not dure he ever will.
We should all be hoping for Cooper or Cruz. I’d love to have a stellar freshman with hype for the next 4 years. Until we have some stability. The media will pick us close to last in the North and we won’t see top 25 pre-season polls. Which all means that we’ll have to wait until conference play to break into the top 25. Not good if we want to make a run and gain interest from prospects.
I agree with your post for the most part but want to point out one thing. ESPN already pegged us as #13 heading into next year. Hard to believe that the media and polls don’t follow suit.Until we have some stability. The media will pick us close to last in the North and we won’t see top 25 pre-season polls.
Especially when the Pac 12 media comes out picking us our usual #5 in the North. Maybe the preseason hype pushes us to #4 over Cal this year.You are correct on the internet!
I used to not care about pre season rankings. They matter. Coaches dont just recruit in season. They recruit year round. Being able to talk about hope and having a top team coming back ranked highly matters. Its one more line of BS to tell kids that seperates you from the other teams in your conference.
It wouldn't matter if some rag predicted WSU at 55th in the nation. So, how do preseason rankings matter when some predicted WSU below Oregon State this year?Especially when the Pac 12 media comes out picking us our usual #5 in the North. Maybe the preseason hype pushes us to #4 over Cal this year.
In general I haven't really cared. I figured they undervalue Leach coupled with plenty of teams in the Pac 12 won't living up to their hype. Therefore we will end up much higher than expectations. However, you are correct. Pre-season rankings do matter.

In the grand scheme I was saying I really don't care until the end of the year. In recruiting I agree with Biggs that preseason hype does matter. I guess we will see whether finishing Top 10 and these early preseason Top 25 rankings have an impact with recruiting as things play out.It wouldn't matter if some rag predicted WSU at 55th in the nation.

Mik...is that you??Cruz is an absolute stud. Once he lands on campus things are going to get even more interesting. He should have been rated a sure fire 4 Star, and close to being a 5 Star IMO.
Unless the NCAA gives him another year, it's not going to be Gubrud. He's played his 4 years...and too much in 2018 to qualify for the new redshirt rule. And I don't see anything to suggest that he's likely to get that extra year. Interesting idea though.Gage Gubrud....WSU football twitter just followed him...LOL
I do think it will be another grad transfer. Then Cooper or Cruz will take over the following year.

The kid from Buffalo looked interesting, but since he's going pro I'm expecting we'll go with what's on the roster. Hard to see lightning striking twice anyway.
I don't think Cruz gets the reins immediately. Leach doesn't play freshman QBs unless he doesn't have a choice. Tinsley probably has a slight edge, and Leach's historical preference for upperclassmen favors him or Gordon. I expect Cooper to push hard though, and since Tinsley & Gordon weren't able to separate last fall we might see a short leash in the non-conference games.
Assuming he doesn't finish spring ahead of Cooper, Neville won't be on the roster next fall. With a freshman in front of him and a highly touted one coming in, the writing on the wall says he's not going to play here.
If you had to make a guess now, who do you think it'll be?
Agee with Loyal. This is about my feeling too. Would be pleasing if Cooper could surpass the two seniors but I do not expect that to happen. Cruz will redshirt.50% Tinsley
35% Gordon
15% Cooper
0% Cruz, Neville, Bledsoe, Hurts, any other TBD QB.
