I had a goal as a little kid to go to Stanford because of the educational side ... knowing what Stanford offered never changed in my mind
Other things did change in my mind over the next 10+ years ... UW was the only school I officially applied to for undergrad
In the end, choices and decisions get made based on what best matches goals and desires moving forward
There's no question that Fozzy would have been a difficult turn ... but not an impossible one. He became impossible when we were unable to offer him a compelling enough story on why he and his family should view UW as the better fit today and going forward
Im just really glad you posted this, I would have never thought!! AMAZING!
Looks like Ty Jones seems pretty solid, for now. Tweeted a bunch of UW stuff (Guessing he just got done with his in home with Bush). We're still gonna have to keep this guy, though. Lots of teams are gonna try to get him... ND, Ohio St.

Any thoughts on Davis coming?

If Davis was just visiting UW, I'd feel really good about our chances; especially since he's already visited Ohio St. But if he's visiting the LA schools too, we have zero chance.

Well let's see what happens if he visits. Not likely, but if he comes, UW takes their best shot.

We've done very well with highly regarded OL recruits. I'm sure it'll go well.

There are some companies that are able to hire based on the "best and brightest" where they take from only a select number of schools ... that's their culture and probably their best bet going forward to make sure that they are getting like minded people. To each their own. Fortunately there are more than a few different companies out there.
I can definitely say that part of the reason that I ended up at TCU for grad school was because I went to the University of Washington for undergrad. As TCU was building up their MBA program, they specifically targeted the non-traditional MBA student by looking at taking students that would be in 5-7 years the students that would be populating many of the more elite MBA programs and getting them into their program earlier. They were right place and right time for a number of us in the program ...
The thing is that schools whether or undergrad or grad programs are all about fitting into what it is that you're looking for going forward. From an educational standpoint, what I learned going through the Foster School of Business at UW prepared me very well for what I saw at TCU in the MBA program. What Foster didn't prepare me well for in advancing into the business world were the soft skills necessary to being successful whether it was managing relationships, working in teams in a professional environment, networking, etc. TCU's MBA program put us in those positions on a constant basis that exposed areas where we were weak and gave us plenty of opportunities to improve upon them. Other programs have very different focuses and they fit a certain student.
The reality is that what an undergrad degree gives you is a foundation to build on as you start your career in whatever field that you are in. It doesn't matter what school you come from you're not walking out of that program and going into the business world (as anything really other than an entrepreneur) where you're going to by far know better what to do than anybody around you. You just can't. It's impossible. But the decisions that you make regarding school, degree, etc. do provide you opportunities if you play your cards well to get your foot in the door, networking opportunities, and further educational opportunities. But there are successful people that come from every school with numerous different degrees ... so in the end it matters, but not THAT much.
