180-190 pounds as high school juniors translates well to a 210 pound college back.

I really like Austin Jones, but I think when all is said and done, it's going to be hard to recruit a kid who's coach is an all-time husky.

Nobody seems to struggle recruiting legacy ducks away from Oregon.

Not sure that's really evidence of us getting a guy uw wants.

I think so much of recruiting is picking your battles well. I didn't like the way Cristobal did that in January, making offers to guys who were all but signed to other schools. Hopefully he can take a step back and be more calculated about it in a full cycle.

For what it's worth, Jones really likes Oregon and came on an unofficial visit during the fall.

We'll get a pretty good idea on who the staff is targeting soon.

All we got to do is start winning again and then recruiting will get better and we ll b able to close better. It will be though to win this year with our depth issues at certain positions and not being close to 85 scholarship players.

One thing that could work in our favor is that UW already picked up a RB in the class and he's pretty good. Plus NorCal is Mastro's region of expertise.

Yea, I saw that and it gives me an ounce of hope. However, I still easily imagine the coach guiding toward anything not-Oregon even if it doesn't mean uw.

Just saying not all coaches steer their kids towards their alma mater or away from their rivals.

I pretty badly want you to be right. And the fact that uw didn't wait to offer other RBs gives an indication that he may be headed elsewhere.
