Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Foster Sarell to UW: Yes or No?
Call your shot here ...
YES.
The trajectory of the football program couldn't be better.
Small-town WA kid from a tight-knit family and community.
Pete and his staff seem to have done a brilliant job of engaging everyone close to Sarell to feel positive about the University of Washington and Husky Football.
Looking forward to watching the Fozzy Bear line up between Trey Adams and Coleman Shelton next fall.

He would have committed by now
Let him LEAVE!
The only thing we can probably comfortably say (reading the tea leaves and doing some observation/psychology) is this:
- Sarell was mostly likely gone 4-5 months ago.
- his internet net presence was all Stanford
- recent UW success under Petersen and a rough patch with Stanford helped open his mind back to UW
- Stanford has recovered to a good season
- anything can happen (usually good things when a recruit and family get an OV to UW with Petersen)
for example: see Elijah Molden. He was pretty much Stanford until he got an OV with UW and that did it.
We can only hope the same thing happens with Sarell. But wherever he goes good luck to him.
If pressed, I'd say our odds of getting Fozzy are about the same as UW beating Bama ...
Otherwise Stanford has too much going at the moment for them:
- Sarell has made fast friends with Stanford recruits the last year, that actually means alot. Has Sarell made any friends with UW recruits? I haven't heard any talk about it at all. Bad sign.
- if he goes Stanford he'll be blocking for potentially Mills, Parkinson and others. That's a pretty compelling group of recruits. The TBS'er in me is showing ...
I think it's clear that the ceiling is much higher with Petersen than Shaw at the moment, UW is trending and it's rolling forward, ain't gonna stop. Is it enough to overcome probable ingrained thinking and bias towards Stanford? I hope so.
