If it was about academics they would have been at uw as fresman. Oregon will always be a running powerhouse because the community and the school care.
People change in college. Their priorities may no longer be the same.

On a lighter note - Centro was in attendance wearing UW gear!
What will he do in 2019 when UW becomes an adidas school? I mean I guess he could claim it's a uniform of his employer and he has to wear it but I can't imagine that will please Nike.

Any money given to a foreign athlete is money not given to a US athlete. Instead of developing our own, these schools are in the business of developing athletes from other nations.
Before some of you throw out the typical BS of “maybe the Americans should get better” or “these coaches are in the business to win”, please remember that the undertrained and uncoached in HS here could develop while in college. Instead we give scholarships to some Kip guy who never even heard of the school he is going to.
I laugh at posts like this. If it was just a matter of "Developing" our own, then why recruit at all. Just go out and have the 300 pount offiensive linenman on the football team run for 2 hours a day and he'll be a world beater?
The reason why teams recruit the likes of Cheserek is he a difference maker. Talent is the difference maker.
It's kind of like the one and dones in college basketball. YOu can complain about it and be irrelevent. That's the path Mike K almost took at Duke. Then he got smart and joined the system.
