"What did he say? Fridge or shower?"
It's OK to admit you were listening, too.

I think you're talking about Daeshon Hall, not Mathis (he signed with UW but will bring down the average GPA of all incoming UW students by a whole point if he gets in). Yeah. The Hall story was interesting and one I forgot to mention. In January one of Scout's little girl interns posted that Hall was seriously looking at Texas A & M. Both Scott and Fetters said "haha, thanks for the update sweetie, but you don't have the "inside sources" we have. Hall is 100% to UW. Run along now" (she was blonde, btw). I asked Fetters about the Hall thing myself and he said "100% to UW, stop asking".DeepSeaZ said:I gave up on Doogman with the Jo Mathis crap they put out. It was clear he was not going to sign with UW. Someone asked where he stood with his recruitment and he said something to the affect of right now I am still going to UW. I called BS and Fetters called me on it saying he chooses to believe what the kid says. Fine, that is what he said. It's what they all say. But, it didn't take much to understand he was really saying bye bye.

Wow, just wow. I understand those guys have their differences with you, but what a fucking joke. I bet that one really hurt you, Derek. I guess I shouldn't be surprised by anything those guys say and/or do.DerekJohnson said:
Huh? Bill Fleenor told me on Facebook that Scott Eklund was a much better writer than myself.Mad_Son said:This pales in comparison to everything else they do, but they are also pretty poor writers.

We could talk about the dawgman guys' blunders all day, but let me add to this post. When Enewally was wavering, not only was he an idiot, but Scott said that Enewally was the worst D-1 prospect out of Gahr in years.bananasnblondes said:Eklund's reporting during the last recruiting cycle was absolutely awful, and showed that he has no journalistic integrity (if you can call him a journalist). In some cases, I believe he was simply making things up to make Husky fans happy. Let's take a trip back down memory lane, shall we:
Myles Jack: probably his biggest fuck up. Though Jack made it clear to everyone in the media that he was going to UCLA and was not looking around, Scott insisted in blog after blog not to believe what you hear, that he knew about the "inside goings on" of the situation and that he would switch to UW
Mattingly and the other kid they called "idiot": By far the low point of Dawgman. Again, Scott insisted for weeks that both of these kids were going to switch to UW and that they were essentiall "in the bag". When it didn't happen, Kim started calling them idiots and dragging them and their families through the mud publicly.
Nico Falah: Committed to USC early. Publicly claimed to be solid to USC. Scott says he was in the bag for UW. No dice.
Vanderdoes: Out of nowhere, Scott claimed him to be a UW lean a week before signing day. All other media said that UW was running a distant 4th or 5th.
Patrick Enewally: In a rare reverse-Eklund, Scott reported that Enewally had some "idiot-tendencies" and had burned all his bridges at UW. Magically, he ended up signing with UW on signing day.
One other thing about Eklund is that he is also a huge fan of the delete button any time someone questions where he is getting his information. While Kim at least engages and argues his side (as stupid as it usually is), Scott simply deletes the thread so no one else sees it.
I then pointed out to Scott that Josh Perkins was from Gahr and Enewally was a much higher rated recruit with a way better offer list than Perkins. I had a couple other examples of two star guys from Gahr that went Pac 12 and told Scott to stop making shit up only because it looked like Enewally wasn't coming to UW.
I was then kicked out of chat and banned for a day. Kim then had a post about abusing the staff. All I did was rightfully call Eklund out for his bullshit. Everyone has similar stories like this one. Those guys are a joke.

Their explanation for that fuck up (and many others) was, "Oh, you know how teenagers are, they change their mind all the time!" I guess they made enough money from that creepy 6 am recruiting party that accuracy is an afterthought.bananasnblondes said:

Kim's voice is a perfect pitch for creepy.tracker said:
The problem with the Dm.c staff is a complete and utter lack of any sense of what's appropriate and what's not. IMO this happens in large part because they really overvalue their own opinions, in short they're pretty arrogant. They have become an embarrassment to the UW in much the same way that KJR and the "Husky Honks" are an embarrassment. Completely unprofessional.
An example?
Kim's interview and attempt to be funny with Jo Mathis a month or so ago. . .Kim's first question:
"So JoJo, what's the first thing you do when you get up in the morning? Head to the refrigerator, or the shower?"
Weird, in a creepy sort of way. -
I'd also like to add that like one or two weeks ago it was either Kim or Eklund who said UW backed off Myles Jack at the last minute bc of "character issues."
That's like saying he backed off a pair of big tits, bc of "character issues."
