Zach Banner to USC
by John Berkowitz on Jan 30, 2012 3:24 PM PST
Email
PrintWe all wish Zach the best even though we are are all disappointed about his choice. I hope everything works out for him down their except when he is playing against the Huskies. If any of you guys are upset blame the coaches...not Zach...they completely blew it with this fine young man by taking him for granted until the last month of his recruitment.
This pretty much seals the deal on the most disappointing in state recruiting season in the history of Husky football. Like I said blame the coaches because they really screwed this up.

We are going to have to run the table to salvage this class with the recruits still on the board
Nothing short of a miracle.
We aren't running the table
It is what it is…it is the type of class that has the ability to ruin a promising young coaching career.

Or a chance for the new coaches to show what they can do.
Out of every failure is a chance to learn and evolve.

Agree
If Sark didn’t get the UW/WIAA Coaches/Players disconnect before – he heard it loud and clear after this class bolted the state.

It seems abit early to write off this whole class.
Although the instate recruiting sucked, I think it is way premature to say this is the type of class that gets a coach fired. For the first time in a decade, we have a class that for the most part can be redshirted. Add the fact that 18 kids did not play last year and you can see the depth being built. I think I will wait a few years to judge this class.

While very disappointed in the whiffs and defections…I’m not willing to downgrade any commit at this point until they prove themselves unworthy…
I'm stoked about this class
I think we got some good lunch pail guys in Dean/English/Eldrenkamp
I think we got a steal in RB Erich Wilson
Two STUD QB and what’s shaping up to be a nice WR class.
I think in three years we’re all going to be pleasantly surprised about how effective this class really is.
I'm still very stoked that that Eldrenkamp is Husky :)
I was very, very excited for the Huskies to get him
by Carl Shinyama on Jan 30, 2012 9:40 PM PST up reply actions
yeah, our OL class isn't bad actually
Obviously would have looked a lot better had Garnett & Banner joined up, but it’s not like Eldrenkamp, Dean and English are chopped liver. And if Brostek signs as expected, that’s a pretty good class.
Precisely.
Even without the addition of Banner or Garnett, I’m pretty content with their O-line class.
Should Brostek choose Washington, the Huskies will have two very powerful blockers in Eldrenkamp and Brostek. I would expect UW to be in good shape, especially in run-blocking.

Tough to compete with Compton!
USC is a great school with a proud tradition and I am sure Zach will do well there. It was only a few months ago I was leaving a disappointing Husky game down there and watched a guy jump out of a car, punch a man in the face, then punch a woman who yelled at him them jump back in his car. I am sure Zach won’t see this excitement daily while he is living down there, but I am sure he will enjoy living in Compton instead of Seattle.

It affected me, I want to break something
Now, all we hear is how Sark can’t keep the instate kids home. I can’t blame him, he tried by firing the D-staff and hiring a tremendous one (I hope). The perception won’t fade until a year from now depending on who he gets, looking ahead, so far all I’ve heard of around here as the epic recruit is Max from Skyline and I don’t see him coming with the QB’s we are getting. So the reputation could build as he only wants Cal kids. IMO

Maybe.
But he’s probably a 5-star guy next season. One of, if not the, top QB’s on the west coast. You can count the number of guys like that that ended up at WSU on one finger, and he grew up in Walla Walla.
A lot is going to change for Browne over the next year as his recruitment really picks up. And even at WSU, he’ll probably sit behind Halliday for two years.
Brown reminds me of Bledsoe

I see the comparison as QB's.
I don’t know much about Browne as a person. Seems like an intelligent enough kid. But Drew is one of the most humble athletes that you could ever hope to meet. I have no idea if Browne’s ego is going to want something bigger than Pullman can offer or not. I don’t mean that as any sort of knock whatsoever, it’s just the case for a lot of west side kids.
We’ll see.
we're a ways away from Browne signing - still time to sway him
Not sure which big-time programs he’s looking at, but I wonder how many of them have a clear path to early playing time?
how long until we offer Liufau?
I would like to believe the kid is high on Sark’s list. I think he’s getting overlooked a little here.
24 hour rule
Need it here. in other news, Sark has to develpop a new sound bite for kids that go out of state. How about FOOW!
That "sound bite" is a four letter word that starts with F . . . .
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
"Legends are made on the shores of Lake Washington"
source?
John do you have any facts,quotes, links to articles that say “UW took him for granted until the last month”. There is a clear difference between a recruit wanting to go some where else and the staff taking him for granted. We offered him early so he was on our radar from the get go. I think that he wanted to go to his favorite child hood school growing up and wanted to go to southern california and get away from the NW.
If we start losing top in state recruits to oregon, oregon st or wsu then we have a problem. That means they wanted to stay near family and friends. If we lose kids to stanford, notre dame, and USC I think it is just kids that want to experience another part of a country at a different school. Simple as that.

After LOI day...
We will review the mistakes the staff made in the eyes of the local recruits…I don’t have the time to detail it right now but the biggest complaint is that they spent a lot more energy in Cal than at home. All that being said …they solved a lot of the problems when they fired the defensive staff…lots of dead wood removed andvreplaced by aces.

I think every coach has a little bit of the state.
The one that was primarily responsible for the south Puget Sound (Banner, Garnett, and Dozier) is gone.
sounds good
But I truly feel that until we lose elite in state kids that the coaches identify that they want to another northwest school like Jonathan Stewert to Oregon, then the problem is not as big as people are making it seem. You guys act like going to Southern Cal for college does not appeal to a large amount of kids or that getting a degree from Stanford does not mean something to kids.
by DAWGFAN87 on Jan 30, 2012 4:35 PM PST via mobile up reply actions
those big-time schools have always been competition for the top in-state guys...
…and normally we still get them. ASJ and Kasen could have gone anywhere in the country. Locker could have gone anywhere. And on and on – most kids have an interest in looking outside their normal horizons. And in most cases, those kids can be convinced that staying home is the best option for them.
Rough year
This football season ended the exact opposite of the way I thought it would. In august I thought we’d be a 5-7 team with a chance to be 6-6 but then close on one of the best recruiting classes ever.
Boy how things change, huh?
This just took the air out of the room...
The aggressive young defensive coaching hires that made us all so hopeful seem like a full season ago.
Ugh.

I see the new coaching hires more long term than in the moment
They had less than a month to develop relationships with these guys, although Tosh already had some, but I would imagine it is a tough sell, even for him, to get California guys to come to Washington after they have already committed to that school. I am trying to stay calm here and let these new defensive guys play the long game.
Sark made the right moves to fix it..but
This was pretty preventable if he had gotten involved this Summer.

The future's bright
I’m just happy to see a young and energetic coaching staff. Guys that like to recruit and play a bit of aggressive defense.
This year was pretty poor for DT….hopefully we’re in on the ground floor for 2013. I hear we’re already planting a flag for Eddie Vanderdoes of NorCal.
Lets pray so...
They will have to coach the players we got first. I think if they can get this defense above average then the recruits will get in line.

they'll get in line either way...
…if history is any indication. These are significantly better recruiters than the guys they replaced, with the possible exception of Martin over Heyward (though not by much). Tosh may not be quite as successful here as he was at Cal, but his success there wasn’t strictly about Cal and his connections as an alum.
I always felt like
recruits were thinking “I don’t want to play defense for the UW”
The players didn’t look like they were having fun at all. The DB playing 10 yards off the line. So many times I heard about the lack of emotion coming from the Defense.
Sports mirrors real life in that there is always that exciting balance of risk/reward. Sure you’re going to get beat over the top but if you play aggressive you’re going to get Pick 6 as well.
I’m guessing that Wilcox/Sirmon (Sircox ??) will emphasize no freelancing, flow to the ball and know your assignments and actually let the kids play.
Lindquist, but that will be down the line a little bit.
But let’s wait and see where Shaq and Payton head first.
Legacies
It isn’t all on Sark…total management over twenty or so years.
One good thing the legacies sent a solid message to Scott Woodward this year that he won’t forget…maybe the next national championship reunion won’t be a wings and BYOB event.

What i am saying is that for every home game the Big W club headed up by Elliot Silvers offers free booze to the athletes who belong to this club along with 3 guests. It seems weird to me that for the Oregon game it would be “byob” like john suggested above. That is all.
Funny thing about this
(and this is a good lessen of all the complaining tha tis going on) If the Dawgs would have Beat the Ducks no one would have complained about the food, not enough time on the field, not enough access to the players etc. Winning cures all.
Wow. Even th Mechanical Engineering Dept
supplies their alumni with drinks at the annual Open House.
Well, the good news is:
I’ve never seen an Offense with a Center, QB, TE, RB and 7 WR’s – and a Defense with a NG, 2 DB’s and 8 Safeties!
Should be fun to watch – HA!! :-)

"...Reminds me of a CRN recruiting list..."
Yup!
I’m having a HARD time dealing with some the UW football fans today – those who say “no big deal/chill-out/next year”. I agree with John Berkowitz – this “in-state” recruiting class failure was of epic proportions. This class was – IMHO – a turning point class. Not only in recruiting but on-the-field results as well.
There is NO doubt that players like Josh Garnett, Zach Banner, Caleb Smith, Keivarae Russell, Cedric Dozier, Walker Williams, Dustin Stanton, Sawyer Powell, Caleb Saulo, B.J. Salmonson, Ryan Lewis, Jacob Tuivaiave, etc could have helped us win football games. Amazingly, there are some here we never even got around to offering.
I tell you, remember the names Jacob Tuivaiave a 6-4/250 OLB out of Washington HS, B.J. Salmonson a 6-5/270 OT out of Nooksack Valley HS – I’ve seen these kids play and I tell you – freakin they are ballers!

I've been trying to tell myself to chill out and relax...
and while I believe that Sark has already taken steps to fix the problem and can recover, that’s the problem…he’s got one more thing to recover from. Instead of landing a bunch of in-state blue chippers who could propel him onto the nation stage, he’s going to have to work to recover from missing out on those guys.
Another miss puts him on a serious hot seat, this miss doesn’t ruin him, but it will lengthen the programs turn around time by another couple of years.
it sucks to have missed out on so many great and good in state prospects
You never want to give away guys that you should have an advantage in landing. And yes, we are currently low on some areas of need – OT, DT and CB.
That said, let’s also not start flying the other direction and calling this class a disaster. Any class that lands Jeff Lindquist, Cyler Miles, Shaq Thompson, Jordan Payton, Kendyl Taylor, Ryan McDaniel, Shane Brostek and possibly Jaydon Mickens – that’s not a failure. Unbalanced maybe. A big miss on some guys that should have been shoe-ins, certainly. But we still stand to land a lot of really great players.

Yep. A lot of the problem with the class is perception.
It’s not that the guys that have committed are bad. It’s that the ones that have spurned the Dawgs are really good, and they should’ve been low-hanging fruit.

My ideal QB is 6’3 with wheels and a strong arm.

We did get the most important recuit out of Washington this year.

Look at the problems of Cal and UCLA without decent QB play.
With Lindquist and hopefully Cyler Miles, we are looking good at the most important position on the field. I would not trade them straight up for Banner and Garnett.

QB is the most important position on the field

We just lost our two most productive WR
There’s a part of me wondering if Williams, Smith, Johnson, Campbell, Bruns are ready to meet and exceed the production.
Offense sells tickets
Gotta admit even though we lost the Alamo Bowl I like to watch it for the incredible display of offensive wizardry put on by Price
Let’s face it the rulebook has made it really hard to play defense like we used to. We need a solid defense but offense is very important as well.
Could use another big time WR
If you look at our roster, here’s what we have:
Kevin Smith – hurt at the end of last year
Kasen Williams – stud
Cody Bruns – good depth, not starter quality
James Johnson – good when healthy, been really nicked up for two years in a row
DiAndre Campbell – hasn’t really seen the field yet
Jamaal Jones – hasn’t seen the field
Josh Perkins – hasn’t seen the field
And we just graduated two of the most productive WRs in UW history
Buzzkill
After this great news, starting to hear Jordan may be heading to UCLA, really? Color me shocked.

I think it's bad that...
Oregon State has more Washington players committed than the University of Washiington does.
We are all looking at the top 5 players who spread out across the country, but what Oregon State has done in WA is what we should REALLY be worried about. THey have taken the meat and potatoes of our class.
They do a good job of recruiting WA
We’ve got to decide how successful we want to be because playing on a national stage means a lot of WA kids that should be playing for UW won’t because we’re keeping CA pipelines open.
I am happy
with the kids we have – they wanted to be huskies – the instate kids that left will never be “Huskies” they acted in their own behalf which I think they should have. I want kids that want to be here – bleed purple and want to be a “Husky”. I think we all need to sit back and wait to LOI day and just be happy with the kids that sign that day they are the Huskies of the future.

oh come on
Most kids have a hard time picking a school out of the number of great choices they have. Most kids that end up becoming Huskies didn’t grow up thinking “I’m going to be a Husky no matter what!” Most kids develop their love for their school after they commit, and as they leave blood, sweat and tears behind on the playing field with their teammates.
Shaq Thompson is seriously considering a few schools, including Washington. If he doesn’t pick Washington, that means you didn’t really want him anyway? Really?

A guy who regularly posts about recruits in Hawai’i (and I’m pretty sure does some newspaper coverage of High School football over there) posted that he heard from players on the Hawaii team that Brostek told them he was going to be a Dawg while on his official visit this past weekend. I trust him more than some random Duck fan…don’t let the trolls get you down.
I'll still always be a fan of Zach Banner
he’s a very humble, respectful, and respectable young man. hopefully he’ll get earn the success he deserves both in college and in the NFL, and also after his playing days are over. Good luck Zach!
"Attending Washington State is great preparation for real life. It teaches you not to expect too much."
I like him a lot too
I just wish he’d decided Washington was the better place for him. I think we can place a lot of blame at the feet of Sark for not having the right guys in charge of South Sound recruiting efforts this year. I think Zach could have been convinced to stay home.
I also wonder if Sark utilized Romar as much as he should have in the effort…

out of the loop
were we really even in on Shaq prior to Lupoi’s defection?
yes
We were always his #2, and it was close. When Wilcox was hired, and especially after Tosh defected, that was enough for Shaq to re-think things.

It’s official: Shaq tells us the reasons for Washington are: “It’s where my heart is; second highest graduation rate in the Pac-12…”

SB Nation App
Hey John,
I guess this is just as good as any place to ask but is there any way to make fanshots viewable on the app? The Shaq Thompson fanshot is not viewable on the app and the only reason I saw it is because I viewed the mobile page.
