    As much as it sucks, the reality is we're only getting this kid if Oregon gets somebody else. It doesn't appear that we are writing checks to high school kids. Oregon is so they're going to get who they want.

    Doubt it. I think UW only writes checks once they contribute and not promising funds upfront.

    Probably why we're having more success in the portal

    But there have been reports to the contrary. I don't really know what to believe. What is obvious is that UW doesn't shell out enough to hang with the big boys.
