Well, 'anyone has ever said this' is a pretty broad statement. And, on this board, it has been said.
The story, as I've heard it a million times, is that Oregon wasn't recruiting him and there was some family or family friend connection, or some other thing like that, at UW that somehow got Herbert in front of the staff and that led to a visit by Herbert and his parents. And it goes that once Oregon realized that Herbert was generating interest they started paying attention and eventually offered him. When he visited Washington he wasn't being recruited by Oregon … or anybody else in P5 as I recall. Could be wrong about that part, but I don't think so. So, yeah, I'm sure at some point they were high on Washington, especially since home town wasn't giving him the time of day.I have no idea about Mariota's recruitment.

I could swear I’ve seen an interview with Herbert where he said he was ready to sign with UW until Oregon stepped in.

Herbert was made to be a duck

Herbert - UW history lesson provided by the Spokesman Review.

Could Justin Herbert have ended up a Husky?
“There’s no doubt,” Mark Herbert said, “that had they continued on the path, that we’d have welcomed that (scholarship offer) in a heartbeat. It was really heading in that direction. … They were the only ones, the only big school talking to us.”

For the record I was on Doogman I think at the time and confounded why they weren't recruiting Herbert more. No one decent was signing since Cobra Jack started as a true freshman in 2015 so why not take a guy with big time potential. Instead they took Bridge fucking Gadd. Just the worst QB name ever.

It's been said a million times.
