I like our recruits. I wouldn't trade them for Oregon's 4 star recruit list. Every single recruit on the list of every school still needs to lift weights and develop into a P5 player. Just cause you are a 4 star doesn't mean you are guaranteed to play. Our kids are smart, have a work ethic, are mature and are solid athletes. Wilcox is recruiting just fine; he's getting what he wants. If you have time watch the Youtube video where Mike Pawlawski interviews Wilcox and Wilcox tells Pawlawski what they look for in recruits. Great athletes always help, but if they don't have a work ethic, aren't smart, don't apply themselves at school, are not coachable or are immature, then athleticism counts for little. Both Oregon and USC have had far superior talent to us over the years, but we have managed to beat both of them, Oregon more recently than USC. I expect more wins as we go forward. ;-)
I'm sure he'll be good, but UW is recruiting worse than we are right now. He won't have any tools around him at this rate.
