Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Which schools have provided UW the most talent over the past 20-30 years? Which schools have been most consistent in sending kids to UW that are ready to buy in and perform?
Which schools send kids over and over again that never pan out?
Don’t know the answers myself but have a hunch on some of the local schools some might mention. I’d like the take to include local schools but equally interested in hearing more about schools in CA, CO, OR, AZ, NV, HI if any stand out.

Schools I’m surprised to not see at a cursory glance: Lakes, Ferndale, O’Dea, Lynden (adding because their moms are the kind I’d like to fuck), Puyallup, Skyline.
Didn’t realize Federal Way had 3 kids, that’s my surprise inclusion.
Upland (CA) - Joe Mathis (2013), Cameron Davis (2018), Taj Davis (2018)
Menlo Atherton (CA) - Daneil Heimuli (2019), Noa Ngalu (2019), Soane Faasolo (2023)
Lakes - Reggie Williams, Kavario, Jermaine 'Lasik' Kearse, the Potoa'e brothers, Anthony Russo.
Leif Johnson, Paul Arnold and Nate Williams. All 3 were RBs but only Johnson played RB his whole time at UW.
I forgot about Everrett Thompson or Thomas who was part of Ty's great 2007 class I think. He started at DE under Sark but was nothing special.
I feel like O'Dea has been the most consistent pipeline of at least the King County schools and maybe even Western Washington although Puyallup probably gets some credit.
Gaskin, Race Porter, Meesh Powell, Prentice, a handful of other walkons that havent cracked the depth, and bonus points for St. Ruperake for more recent era.
The Benn Bros, Ben Riva, Ty Eriks, Quinton Richardson (god help us all), and I’m sure others without digging deeper from a little bit further back. No idea on the earlier 90s.
Their corners have struggled here but they have one next year with an offer that looks physical on tape.
We? also missed a few guys thanks to Ty.
Essentially, because we had a bunch of assistants who were already recruiting at other schools, our footprint looks different in the first year. We're already seeing a shift back to WA, CA, and AZ in 2024
