This is an interesting point that I had considered raising.
At the moment, I think UW has 11 starters that would be considered either wholly or partially Sark recruits (that's using the typical rule of splitting responsibility for a coaches' first class upon taking a job during an off season). And of course last year there were many more.

At least according to the recruiting services, Petersen has only been an okay recruiter. From 247sports:
SeasonÂ Â Class RankÂ Â Â Â Coach
2010Â Â Â Â Â 19thÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Sark
2011Â Â Â Â Â 24thÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Sark
2012Â Â Â Â Â 24thÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Sark
2013Â Â Â Â Â 18thÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Sark
2014Â Â Â Â Â 38thÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Sark/Petersen
2015Â Â Â Â Â 26thÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Petersen
2016Â Â Â Â Â 29thÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Petersen
2017Â Â Â Â Â 22ndÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Petersen

I had actually thought the service rankings had fallen off more than that, but perhaps it depends which service one looks at. By this measure, Petersen's recruiting has been at least slightly worse than Sark's. Of course this is a limited measure and it certainly appears Petersen can get more out of the guys he does bring in, but the talent level in Seattle will be something to keep an eye on.

Interestingly -- maybe only my faulty recall -- but UW and Stanford have clashed more of late on the recruiting trail. Ben Burr-Kirven, current brawler in the middle for the UW defense, was a fringe Stanford recruit. Salvon Ahmed and Elijah Molden were highly-ranked recruits who chose UW over Stanford. On the other side, Stanford got Foster Sarrell and Conor Wedington from Washington, so it's not been an unfair fight at all. But this seems to be much more recruiting conflict than under the Sark regime.
