UW weekend report

PrintThe Husky basketball team attempts to pick up a split on the road today in Salt Lake City against the Utah. The Utes were thought to be the worst team in the conference until they knocked off WSU on Thursday. The Huskies who are struggling on the road could use a confidence building win to move to 3-1 in conference play.
A side note to game is a homecoming for Husky sharp shooter CJ Wallace who grew up in the area. Now that Utah has joined the Pac 12 he gets an unexpected trip back home each year to play in front of family and friends. Percy Allen of the Seattle Times wrote a story on that for this mornings edition.
Alamo Dome Review
Paul Swaney of Stadium Journey does reviews of stadiums across the country. This is that they think of the Alamo Bowl. He has a few interesting photos from the game. My impression of course is from in front of the TV screen but I have been in quote a few domes and find most of them pretty similar.
Recruiting
RB Tairen Owens has de-committed from Washington and has accepted an offer to become a UCLA Bruin. Owens was very close to former UW CB coach Demetrice Martin. So this was a defection that was probably pretty well anticipated.
Zach Banner caused a bit of a stir when a King 5 report came out yesterday saying that he was down to USC and Oklahoma. He clarified later that UW is still very much in the mix and that he will still choose between those three schools. The inside skinny is that he is leaning toward leaving home and if he does LA is the probable destination.
Sark recently visited Hawaiii and Samoa. We know of at least a couple of kids that we have excellent shots at from those two locations.
Sark is taking over recruiting in the South Sound for the rest of the year which means it his job to salvage something from the carnage that has gone on down there. In hindsight he probably should have jumped on the problem in July.
How do you end up getting offered a permanent job on a coaching staff if your a GA? If you are Donte Williams the formula may involve closing on a couple California defensive backs. He is pretty close to the kids at Poly so it will be interesting to see if he can make up for at least a couple of those UCLA/Martin defections.

Recruiting thougts:
I like to believe a lot of this recruiting stuff cycles. The Martin defections have hurt and were pretty much expected. We lost out for the services of a great in state RB this year in Russell. However, was he starring playing time or the lack there of in the face? We know Calleir and Sankey are going to get all the touches out of the backfield next season and if Cooper comes back 100% ready to go then Russell potentially could be 4th on the depth chart. I’m left thinking Russel weighed the pros and cons and decided playing time for the Domers created less road blocks, that and a degree from the University of Notre Dame would be a highlight on his resume.
The best part of this though is that it opens up a great window for us next season to go hot and heavy for a bigtime RB recruit. I’m actually okay with Russell’s decision, currently we are heavy at RB and I’m sure he is very aware of that and I wish him all the luck going forward. Let’s all remember last season where we didn’t land any high profile QB prospects. This year (the following year) we sign two in the top 15- see the cycle?
However, the guys in state that will hurt the most are the O line guys. Banner and Brosteck has to be pushed to the front of the priority line. We always need O linemen and this year the overwhelming need is a corner. Richardson is graduating and Trufant will be a senior. We need corners.
The way I see it, we are okay in the following areas for this recruiting class: QB, RB, WR, TE, DE, LB, and Safety. We need O linemen, corners!
All I saw was purple
We did get Brown last year.
I’d call him relatively high-profile, although less so than Lindquist and Miles.
Depends on perspective
From a player’s perspective it could seem like a loaded position. From a fan’s perspective you can never have too many gifted RBs.
All I saw was purple
We aren't heavy...but
…if Cooper comes back strong it will be plus. Johri Fogerson is coming back for one final year and he has the ability to provide quality depth if he can stay healthy.

Dezden Petty
could be our inside power back if he has a quick step.
as much as i love Coop, an acl repair takes 12-16 months for lateral quickness. anything from him would be a bonus,
Have you seen the video of Brandon Wilson ? (Calvary Baptist Louisiana)
Serious speed and skills…and “0” stars? Do you or anyone know who is in charge of the Louisiana region for recruiting? May be evidence of our new coaches positive affects in recruiting?
no stars = not evaluated yet
Given his film and his relative lack of major offers, have to wonder if there isn’t something that was scaring off other teams…
still...
…there are 5 FBS schools in Louisiana, and it doesn’t appear as if any of them have offered him. LSU? Sure, they have bigger fish to pursue. But it seems a bit odd that none among Tulane, Louisiana Tech, Louisiana Monroe or Louisiana Lafayette would have offered a kid in their back yard.
Timing of the Holt firing?
Would we have benefitted if Sark would have fired Holt immediately following the season? Tennessee didn’t go bowling this year that I am aware of, and if they did, they finished up before we did.
If we had fired Holt following the Apple Cup and replace him with Wilcox quickly we could’’ve had a remarkable run thru December and Janurary in terms of buidling up this class. I’ve come to the realization that not firing Holt after the Apple Cup and then dismissing him after the defensive beat down Alamo Bowl has really hurt this class. What does it say about the vision for this program? I will admit, I wasn’t onboard yet for firing Holt. I thought coach needed one more year to turn it around. I was in the minority thinking of things and I willing to say I was wrong. Holt needed to go because the bottom line is that the kids didn’t trust his schemes. Knowing that Holt’s defense (as young as it was) held the infamous title of worst statistical defense in the history of the program, Sark should’ve fired his buddy moment’s after the season ended. That would’ve sent a strong message to all involved that the defensive performance was not acceptable by Husky standards. Allowing Holt to coach the bowl game tells me that Sark’s initial plan was to retain Holt for another season, which I was onboard with personally. But moments after the bowl game and serving up 67 points, we finally come to the conclusion that Holt must go. I think the timing of firing Holt has darn near killed the offseason momentum. For future reference: keep the buddy side of the equation out of the office.
All I saw was purple
yes to all of the above crazi, i respect the honesty of your post...
…hopefully the lessons of this messy debacle of a season will help Sark become a better Head Coach and return UW to an elite level and Rose Bowls again. GO HUSKIES!

Sark has never fired anyone before.
I can’t blame him for his reluctance to getting used to the idea, particularly in as much as he values continuity for good logical reasons. IMO, he made the right call, promptly, at the right time. There are, as Crazi says, painful consequences that come with massive staff turnover. It is, ultimately, a very public admission of failure. Stage one reboot. No way to avoid that. I can’t see how a three week head start on it brightens the view much. Whoever you hire is not going to coach the bowl game.
True, but...
The DC in waiting has a chance to hire his assistants and the new DC is not in rush mode trying to secure some weighty D guys. As it stands we are in rush mode heading down the wire.
All I saw was purple
This is true
I just think Sark has a lot more respect for Holt and his family and firing him was hard. I don’t think he wanted it on his conscious with the bowl game coming up. These guys are friends outside of work and it’s the first person Sark had to fire! That’s rough. I saw an interview with Sark, he seemed really hurt that the word got out of Holt’s firing before he could announce his firing, said it was hard on their families.
Debacle of a season?
What are you talking about?
I think he is talking about the coach situation along with the recruiting
I still think it was a pretty successful year. I hoped for more but what can you do.
Cyler Miles and Banner
Watching this kid in the East West Army game, he is physically mature, pretty quick footed and his mechanics looks solid .
Zach Banner looks like a mountain in pads… I want mountains with pads on this team

Miles
After watching Cyler Miles take apart the East defense, how could a lot of these in state kids not want to play for this kid as their QB? Miles looked polished (as polished could look from a 17 year old). From what I saw, Miles is the best QB prospect I’ve seen commit to UDub since Mark Brunell. Locker ins’t in that room because he was a wing T guy with unmatached athletism, but no where near where MIles appears to be. He looks very much ready! WOOF!
All I saw was purple
And Banner
looked very friendly and supportive of Miles. They looked good together as team mates!!!
MUSH!
Expect to Win!!!
USAA GAME - Impression 1
Zach Banner looks impressive but he gave up an sack while I was watching. The guy that was sacked is Cyler Miles who is a UW commit who has looked pretty goood today when he has had some protection.
UW Dawg Pound - SBN Seattle
USAA GAME - Impression 2
Cyler Miles has tossed a couple of TD passes in the first half. The mechanics on the last one was a little interesting. West leads 21-6 late in the second quarter. The addition of Miles and Lindquist means that the Huskies are absolutely loaded at quarterback.

so Sark taking south sound
takes this away from Coz.
if anyone has gone to practices and watched the OL drills it is nothing to attend with a young child. he has very flowery language, he’s old school. if he brings that into a recruits home i could see that turning people off.
Coz wasn't responsible for south sound...
It was coach Cox.

If their is some way we can secure these 3 guys, I am happy with the class. We need O linemen and corners.

Miles is very impressive
quick release and a soft touch.
good at swings,intermediates and the long ball.
also spreading it around to multiple receivers.
going to give Lindquist a run
McCarthy to Cal, Tupoi is a monster.
Ellis McCarthy to Califronia
That makes it two years in a row that Cal has picked up the best DL on the west coast.

A couple thoughts and questions
I really think that Sark is going to have to re think how he breaks up recruiting territories. I think we need to dedicate one coach to the state of WA along with Sark to close on the in state talent. I think we saw this year what happens when you have a coach in coach Cox who cannot relate to players and is not a good recruiter. I think the days of Lakes players going to UW just because they are from Lakes is over. We need to re dedicate ourselves and re think how we are going to recruit for the 2013 year.
With that said I do not think the instate recruiting is as bad as we think. I cannot think off the top of my head what the results of this are but if you take all the top in state players over the past 3 years, how many has sark got? I would guess that he is at about 60-70% which is not bad at all in this day and age where technology of fbook, twitter, skype and games being on TV make it easier to go away for college. The problem is that the in state kids were top heavy in the first 2 years instead of being balanced over the years.
Just my thoughts.
in Sark's first couples years he had a high school coaches clinic
don’t remember hearing about it last year.
there definitely need some PR here.
if there were resources/culture to develop hs talent ala Texas that would be part of the long-term plan.
It's definitely not good
In my opinion, when it comes to in-state kids. You want to sign kids who you really want. To my knowledge, that didn’t happen this season for us. The thing that Oregon and other NW schools don’t have is a built-in recruiting base to work from. We have to secure kids in state that we want, that is what Sark means by putting a fence around the state. We aren’t going to get everybody, but we sure as hell need to secure the kids we want the most.
I personally think Sark needs to be the closer for all in state kids we definitely want to see become Dawgs.
All I saw was purple
Trainwreck
That is what this recruiting class is turning into – also jesus, how the hell is Cal getting such good classes year in and year out.
Roast Duck is a delicacy.
I disagree that this year's class is turning into a trainwreck.
by Carl Shinyama on Jan 7, 2012 1:38 PM PST up reply actions
I agree
anytime you get two elite Qb’s I think the class if okay. We have a better chance at winning with a great Qb then a great Safety. You can have a great defense but without a Qb you cannot win.. IE the 2012 Seahawks. But you as long as you have a great Qb you always have a chance to win. You saw this with the COlts and Manning, Baylor and RG3…. the list goes on and on. We will be alright.. don’t worry dawg fans.
i would call it a trainwreck
this is the best in-state class we’ve had in years, and the only coveted recruit we land is lindquist. garnett, russell, dozier, williams, smith, and probably banner all gone out of state. this was an excellent opportunity to build up the future of the program and the coaching staff totally whiffed. i would grade their recruiting efforts about a D this year- if we can get banner and a couple db’s i would give it a C
I think you're insulting the result of the class and using the choices of this year's in-state class as an indictment of the coaching staff.
Recent evidence suggests that UW was going to have an uphill climb securing the majority of their in-state recruits regardless.
by Carl Shinyama on Jan 7, 2012 3:54 PM PST up reply actions
Disagree
I think what he is saying is that the in state kids we targeted aren’t signing with us. You have to get the in state kids- it’s a built in resource available to us and we wiffed on almost all of them.
The trainwreck applies to the in state kids we aren’t getting.
All I saw was purple
Crazi
You are thinking still in early 90’s thinking. Some kids want to get away for college. This year the top in state kids wanted to get away.. that simple. I truly believe that these top in state recruits wanted to get away and no matter what Sark did they did not want to go to college at the UW. Can’t fault them for that.. some just want to get away.
I don't disagree that getting the top in-state kids were a priority.
But using the fact that not getting the majority of them as an indictment of the coaching staff’s ability to recruit, when the fact is, they can (and have) recruit extremely well and close the deal on those recruits, coupled with recent evidence that suggested that UW was facing an uphill battle on securing them appears to be a bit of an overstatement.
But this year’s class is not a trainwreck, and with some of the talent that UW has acquired in this year’s class (assuming they don’t sign with someone else on LOI day), I think it’s rather insulting to the coaching staff and the recruits. Granted, I’m one of the few who are excited about this class, but I believe that my sentiments have their merits.

Well . . . .
half of this staff is on fire. The other half got fired!
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."

hard to see how you come to that conclusion.
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.
@chrislandon
Me Too...
Check out Kendyl Taylor,Ryan McDaniel,Banks,Turpin etc highlights! Keith Price plays the single most critical,important position on the team…He’s “pretty good”..No? Cyler,Jeff and Co. will keep this most important spot solid for years! Now, get some push at the finish and sign them up! Coach them up! and watch the Dogs move up a game or 3 in wins and bowl game! Look up….
I understand the "trainwreck" perception...
It really is a crappy feeling watching such a rare class in state just dry up and disappear like a fog…leaving only the hope of Banner to “save” it. And I don’t hold my breath on that happening either. But, this is reality and it isn’t going to change the fact that Sark made the biggest moves/decisions needed in his short career as top dawg…dump the D-Coordinator and get a much better group to bring “fun” back into defensive fundamentals…and take over and fix in state recruiting before it got worse! (believe it or not…it could get worse!) So all in all, it’s still gonna be alright if they take care of business from now till Feb 1 and beyond.
Good News
Both of our QB commits won MVP honors at their respective All American games:
Jeff Lindquist – MVP Semper Fi Bowl
Cyler Miles – MVP US Army All American Bowl
Not bad for the future of our program at the most important position on the field. GO DAWGS.

with the Simone brothers...
the Cougs do have a small in-road to Skyline as well. We obviously have several Skyline players, too, but, sheesh. The thought of Max playing at WSU is downright terrifying.
I saw that he made that comment about depth.
I’m a bit surprised that somebody who is suppose to be one of the top QB’s in his class is so worried about competition. Like they told Emtman, “If you are afraid of competition . . . . . go to Pullman”.
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
"Legends are made on the shores of Lake Washington"
Just incredible.
Says an awful lot about what HS QB’s think of Sark.
K, stepping away from the ledge
Your guys’ optimism is starting to rub off on me a little about the recruiting this year. I really need some good news soon from Dawgland!

Keep you in a good mood
Having one sub par class is correctable.. not ideal by any means but it can be okay. Last year was a strong class and most everyone was redshirted which will help balance out the numbers for this year. As long as next years class is strong we will be able to offset this one perceived down year. The problem is if this happens two years in a row. With a new DC and Sirmon on the road recruiting along with Sark and company.. we will be okay. I just do not think that Mills and Cox could relate to players. I think Sark will be re energized and I look for big things to happen!!
We have some nice looking redshirt freshman. Have no fear.. Keith Price is hear!
sorry crazi
Crazi I don’t think you could have fired holt after the season you still had the bowl game and it would be unfair to put a whole new defensive game plan in three weeks that is if Wilcox could be hired in two to three days if not Sark fired three martin left who would call the defensive plays?.
Sark will fix this my guess the coaches that were fired recruiting not just coaching played a big part. Sark understands this which is why he is going hard after Lupoi it may not show up this year but give this staff when complete a whole year to recruit by this time next year UW will be pulling in the recruits
Keeping Holt through the end of the season was as much about sending a message to the next DC
as it was about completing this season on the field.
Please proofread your posts and use punctuation.
And now, for my very elaborate and college-educated plan!'
Hhmm . . .
brings up more good things about Lindquist and Miles, I’d rather have players who look forward to competition, than players who are scared of it.

if no QB's leave
We are fine without a QB commit for the 2013,14 classes. Now ideally this doesn’t happen, but Price for 2 years, Montana, last years commit (forgot his name DAMMIT), Lindquist and Miles. Don’t need another QB commit for 2 classes.

Agreed.
One per class is always the goal. If you get two in one year, and have depth at QB, then I don’t mind not taking a QB next year.

One class would probably be OK
Two is really stretching it. You always want a couple young guys around for depth/scout team purposes.
these kids get to play in a pro football stadium and have access to the locker rooms
Seahawks locker rooms? Come on recruits. Think about it. Then the next year you play in a redesigned stadium at UW. Ummm. Not a hard choice at all.
Yeah I don't get that
This isn’t like Cal playing in front of McCovey Cove a baseball park restructured as a lousey home field venute. We are talking about playing or redshirting in an NFL stadium for the first year. Then I would do just about anything to be on that field when the curtain goes up on the new state of the art Husky Stadium. Running out of that tunnel wouild be a momement in which I would want documented.
All I saw was purple
Defense coming soon
I won’t pretend I was hip to Justin Wilcox. Everything you can find on him is an upgrade. The biggest part of husky history is defense. Sark may actually be able to sell more to a defensive player than just playing time. Bellotti was quoted as saying "He was going to take those two if he coached again".
Balance...I think it's all coming together?
Sark’s got it figured out correctly. Get some competent,creative young stud defensive coaches to bring the other side of the ball together with an already top producing Offense led by a 2012 Heisman candidate at QB…achieve enough defense that the “scales” at least begin to “tip” by this fall…and hopefully the momentum of the movement towards exellence wins a couple games or so? The O should be able to win 7-8 games with mediocre D? So, I’m thinking an “average” to better D will couple with an explosive Price led O for 8-10 wins! (Dreaming big!) Realistic? I think so….any thoughts?
Brandon Wilson? Anyone seen this guys video?
Dawgmen just posted that he’s new on the radar with an offer and ready to go! You should watch this dude! He has serious skills…speed…and lots of it! How did he get this far without a single “star” by the the recruiting “experts”? Crazy I say! Could he be evidence of the new coaches impact in recruiting? Let’s hope he wants to be a Dawg!?

End of his Sophmore season was considered one of the best in LA, but he had some injuries, the guy in the video said same thing about his Junior year, missed most of it so not a lot of video on him.

Some rumblings over at DM about that as well.
I just have such a hard time putting any stock into it, but hey, you never do know…
I wonder if that's what Condotta was referring to tonight when he said:
There’s two main areas of potential news for UW right now-coaching hires and recruiting. But there’s not a whole lot of substantive news on either front this morning (though there is surely lots going on behind the scenes).
Granted, he also included recruiting as being the other half of the subject, so it’s possible that there was a lot more behind the scenes on that front rather than the coaching front.
It certainly leaves one wondering though..

Brostek
Shane’s recruiting process has been an enigma for me. He has 2 offers and has made one visit (Colorado). He could not have made an official visit if his grades weren’t right so its not that. I wonder if there is an ongoing debate concerning where we would like him to play – OG vs. DT? NO idea here.
How do you know he has only had one visit?
I am sure he has been to UW on at least one unofficial and you can probably bet that he will be here in January.

John – just gleening my info from Scout and Rivals:
Scout shows 1 “official” visit to Colorado on 11/11/2011. Rivals says he went to Colorado on 11/11/2011 and to Oregon on 11/18/2011. ESPN says he only has 1 offer – from Washington!!
I have a hunch we might be looking at Shane as a DT. He is highly regarded on the defensive side of the ball and even lined up at LB some.
CB Bryan Harper
From CB Byran Harper regarding his recruitment:
“…I decommitted from Washington and I haven’t heard from them since…”
Duh, you think?
Sark doesn't come back for seconds
Fortunately i think we are going to pick up 2-3 really good cornerbacks despite the defections.
