I’m actually pretty solid that this kid chooses UW. Cancelled his visit to Oklahoma after visiting Seattle and moved up his choice by a couple weeks. I think he’s a Dawg.
Of the guys who have visited or are scheduled to visit who either aren't committed somewhere else or haven't reaffirmed their commitment to the other school here who seems still on the board, ordered in size of fisch. Would love to know who DSD thinks we get:
5* DE Tristian Givens - Columbus, GA - Probably A&M or Tennessee
5* CB Brandon Arrington - Spring Valley, CA - Probably Oregon, USC, A&M, or Bama
4* CB Davon Benjamin - Westlake Village, CA - Probably Oregon, Texas or Miami
4* S Salesi Moa - Ogden, UT - Probably Michigan, Utah or Tennessee
4* DE Landon Barnes - Duncanville, TX - Probably Ohio State or Georgia
4* WR Vance Spafford - Mission Viejo, CA - Probably Miami or Georgia but think we have a decent shot
4* WR Mason James - Norman, OK - think he commits tomorrow
4* RB Brian Bonner - Valencia, CA - Seemed like us for a while now seems like UCLA
4* DE Samu Moala - Lawndale, CA - Probably A&M or UCLA
4* WR Daniel Odom - Bellflower, CA - Committed to Oklahoma, weird recruitment who knows
4* WR Madden Williams - Bellflower, CA - Committed to A&M, weird same as Odom
4* DE David Schwerzel - Seattle O'Dea - Seems like we have a great shot but so does UCLA, Stanford, and maybe Notre Dame
4* CB Jeron Jones - Mission Viejo, CA - Probably commits soon
4* DT T.I. Umu-Cais - Englewood, CO - Seems like a battle with Stanford, UCLA, and North Carolina
3* DE Fameitau Siale - Seattle O'Dea - Feels like a commit soon though could go to Michigan State
3* T Aaron Thomas - Phoenix, AZ - Seemed like he was a possible commit, visited ages ago and seems to have disappeared. Probably Ohio State or A&M now.
3* TE Landen Miree - Cincinnati, OH - Odd recruit from Cincy seemed like might be a silent commit at one point now seems like we only take 2* TEs from Oregon.
3* LB Wassie Lugolobi - Sammamish Eastside Catholic - Former commit, then committed to Standeford now is visiting and seems 50/50
3* LB Ezaya Tokio - Oceanside, CA - Long, skinny LB seems like we have a great shot or UCLA
3* TE Kai Wesley - Orem, UT - 6'7 TE in our category of guy who should have already committed but probably met PooPoo
3* G Pulelei'ite Primus - Midland, TX - We're struggling with IOL this year and the only guy really left on the board but have barely heard anything about him
It's slightly concerning that we have no true DL committed for this class (the Yang kid is projected as a guard and is probably not a P5-level recruit anyway) and don't really seem to be in on anyone of note. Last years DL recruiting was pretty meh too
DT is high on the list of concerns in recent years. I think they're gonna try hard to get Umu-Cais, but bet he's a guy other schools go after later as DT recruits run out. If they get the O'Dea DEs sounds like one, if not both, could slide to DT.
Remember when we had a run of Qualls, Vea, Gaines, Onwuzurike? Those were the days.
My only hope on Yang is that they saw him up close at a UW camp and offered really early and took his commit really early. The Odea kids will both slide inside IF they choose UW. They’re built similar to Levi coming out of HS. Listed as DE on the recruit sites but destined to play DL. Kafusi is not a good recruiter. He misses on every decent recruit he pursues, even his nephew/cousin or whatever Bott was to him. The big DL from Colorado won’t choose UW either. I’ve seen enough the last two years to know that with Kafusi as lead on him you can bank on that. Screen shot it if you want.
Paopao and Kaufusi can't seem to recruit their ways out of paper sacks in a tsunami. Paopao is at least at a position where I feel like underrated recruits frequently pan out. I thought Kaufusi was going to help us with Utah Poly guys? Is he on Colman-Brusa's recruitment at least?
With Mason James committed, let's hope they can also flip one of the committed 4* WRs. They whiffed on closing last year with Olugbode and Marsh and I think one other highly-rated WR.
I still maintain that this shit doesn't matter nearly as much since Petersen's last classes barely cleared this, but it's undeniable how big the upgrade is in recruiting/selling the school and the coaches are still talking a big game of development that should show signs this year.

Looks like we are in a battle with Georgia for this hard hitting safety

Once the poly kids started committing to the SEC, it was over for football out west.
Ta'amu and Shelton too. Even Sarkisian managed to get some dudes, including Qualls.
Edit...I think Ty actually recruited Alameda Ta'amu. Ty!

Journos always hype him and PaoPao up. It’s like they’re compensating for something…
Hopefully Kafusi turns into a Malloe situation, where he gets his reads down and starts plowing. Ikaika seemed crappy at first.
Did the kid from GA just commit?
Not sure. I’ll say … no.
I missed all of this. That’s extremely encouraging.
🤔

@theknowledge nailed it.
Woof! Mason James #chokelahoma
