    Here's his full junior hudl: https://www.hudl.com/video/3/6571914/5a0a414d4df52f115896782b

    Kid is a baller. Really fast twitch. Would be a great DB for us, but could also play slot WR. I really like him as a DB, tho.

    Doesn’t look like he’s even trying and he moves really well. I like him a lot.

    Looks a legit slot. I like that he may be a decent return man. If he can return punts I hope we offer

    Also Wiltfong CB'd him to UW. I really like him, I would take him as an athlete and test him at WR & CB.

    I think the issue with this kid is two-fold:

    1) We have convinced ourselves that in-state players suck unless they are basically DDY3s.
    2) It's not really clear where he fits. He doesn't look like the kind of corners we use... he's like either a slot defender or slot receiver.

    It would be huge if a kid from Union/Camas got a UW offer. First time I think.

    He's like a DDY 2.8.

    I know that's not really a thing, but he's a much more athletic version of Aaron Fuller and about 3 feet taller than Myles Bryant, so I'm not sure what the downside is here.

    In my mind you give the in-state kids a very slight bump up on the recruiting board. By definition they're more likely to commit, so why expend 3X the energy getting essentially the same kid from California. The recruiting model should always be to use the PNW to get about a half a dozen layups, and fill the remainder of the class from other parts of the west coast. If we put together 5 straight NY6/playoff appearances, then maybe we can start being more selective and radically altering our tried and true recruiting strategy.

    I basically agree with this, though I think he's a very solid 2. His frame is not that big, but I agree he's way better than Myles Bryant and Aaron Fuller.

    I think we are going to end up taking 4-5 DBs this year and I could easily see him as one of those guys (or possibly a slot guy on O).

    I also agree that ties have to go to in-state players.

    This kid, Fabiculanan, Criddell, Asa Turner (who may end up at SAM anyway)... these are all guys I think we will do really well with.

    I think he's a cornerback, and he's the same height and weight as Criddell and Chris Steele so I don't necessarily buy he's a slot cornerback. But it's also an incredibly deep year for 6'1"/6'2" cornerbacks on the West Coast. Deep to the point where every Pac-12 team is going to be dooging or quooking or cuoging about whom they get.

    In-state players are definitely a quandary that the staff has to figure out

    You and I have similar but slightly nuanced differences of opinions here
