Sayin is more talented per every single analyst that looked at the players.

So much subjectivity. I said comparable talent. Sayin scored a 98 on 247 and Mack scored a 96. Give me a break. Sayin was QB3, Mack QB8. OMG the sky is falling! We swapped a 6-1, 195lb QB with a 98 score for a 6-6,225lb QB with a 96 score. We have to stop sugar-coating what a colossal disaster that is!

You don’t see the overall loss of players as a disaster at this point? I still think we can add players to help but as of now it is a mass exodus of very talented players.
Negative Nancy much?
We will be fine.

Upon looking Saban offered Mack too

98 and 96….that’s an enormous difference. Whatever will do?

Realist.
I’m not blaming the new staff. It’s just the current environment. This is new and something no program has had to deal with. It’s a tragedy taking punch after punch with no way to do anything about it.

I think we saw who he took though. Most offers aren't committable also. Not saying Mack is awful and shouldn't be here, just saying thay Sayin is going to be really really good and you want a guy that wanted to come cross country to play here. Of course, both guys seem to wanna play for a coach, not necessarily the school. Just upset about losing a guy I was excited about more than anything.

Washington has lost more than we have

I guarantee Saban would’ve taken Mack.
I was excited to see him too, but he decided to leave, so piss on him
I don't know.

Um, Mack is from Folsom CA, so he is coming from across the country to be here as well. Who he took? You realize they were in different classes, right?

He went to Washington first. You do understand Sayin was committed for a while and how recruiting quarterbacks goes, correct? They knew what they had in Sayin. Mack didn't want Alabama.

And Sayin doesn’t want Alabama either

Apparently not. I knew he was a big Saban guy. He made comments in the past about Saban, so this isn't some massive surprise, but with Saban still connected to the program I was surprised.
Mack wanted the BAMA offer but not the old BAMA system. With DeBoer, he got the best P5 offer and system that best suited him.
Sayin had that relationship with Saban and it hurt once Saban retired. New staff, new coordinator, new system and no relationship with coaches that don’t have a vested interest in you leads to a kid looking elsewhere. As a former walk on, I felt that when Coach Stallings and Coach Moore came in. They didn’t know me from Adam’s house cat and Coach Moore didn’t care to get to know me or my film, even though OL Coach Jimmy Fuller had recruited me and knew of my shoulder injury from my senior year. They didn’t have anything invested in me, so during the Spring, I was sent with Coach Oliver to “throw INTs to the DBs”.
Sayin very well may have found himself relegated to scout team QB, feeling like he was being punished. Hope the kid finds what he’s looking for.

I think he was talking about the Austin Mack thing or the Official Visits from all the UW guys.
