Even if you’re not a big believer in recruiting rankings, you can see that the last couple recruiting classes to enter Husky Stadium have largely featured bigger, faster, stronger, and more accomplished freshmen than those who have donned the purple and gold in many years.

Instead of hoping to win the day with veteran guile, craftiness, or other things that probably don’t exist, the main challenge will be to identify with talented young players will be able to step up to the plate while making the fewest mistakes.
