Drivel?? Too funny. It's only drivel to the myopic.
Actually, your coach is a very good one, that's clear to see - he has had success at every step of his career. Unfortunately he either fails to recognize the value of or refuses to provide much emphasis or expertise towards recruiting at the highest level of college football in which he now finds himself.
That's Washington's Achilles Heel right now. I get why you don't want to accept it either with the transfer portal being everyone's fav Santa these days. But you cannot solve all your problems through the portal. I do look forward to seeing UW try, however.
BTW I think I'll "drivel" some butter on my popcorn as I sit back and enjoy watching UW's recruiting efforts.... 🍿
Especially at places like Ohio state, ND, Texas, USC, LSU where every commit gets an extra star just because they're being recruited by a big name school . But all you can do is go by the data available.
Funny thing is Lan Danning still got rid of a large number of Mario's guys. That's one main reason why the defense you are seeing in 2023 (#10 scoring D, #16 total D) is not the quack defense of 2022 (#74 and #71 respectively).
With the current #6 class in the nation adding a few more key additions (at LBer and safety notably) for 2024, those D numbers may improve again.
Larry Coker, won a natty his first year.
No one else close
UW coach is 5 star. I ain't hating!
Thatyif the rankings are accurate, which they aren't. Too many overhyped guys.

Where is UW on that list?
Coaching matters.
