    eklund says the visit was good with him. biggins is gonna come out with a story. still sounds like he's all UW

    He finally got him.
    "It was a great visit, I liked it there a lot," Spiker said. "I flew in Thursday and out on Sunday so I was on campus all day Friday and Saturday. Friday I did the campus tour, saw the dorms and the football facilities. Everything was brand new and it was really nice. I haven't been to a lot of schools so don't have a lot to compare UW to, but it was really nice.

    "The coaches are great there and I felt very comfortable. It's a real family atmosphere and the coaches are really easy to talk with. They gave me a lot of great insight about the school and the football program and I feel really good about Washington, it would be a really good fit for me."

    Head Coach Chris Petersen made a very good impression on not just Spiker but his family as well.

    "My mom and sister came up with me and they loved him," Spiker said. "They both said Coach Petersen reminded them of my grandfather, just a real nice, genuine guy. We talked a little on Friday but Saturday is when we sat down and really talked football. We watched video of the offense and went over my fit in their scheme.

    "They threw 40 touchdowns to just receivers last year and they showed me how the move guys around and get them open. They feel l can play inside or outside and compared my role to how they use Dante Pettis but also think I could do some of the same things they did with John Ross III."
    Grandfather? He gone.














    In all serious, sounds like he'll still be ours.
    "Bush Hamdan was really recruiting me hard for a while now and we had a good relationship," Spiker said. "It's not a deal breaker at all that he's not there any more, I know they'll bring in a new WR coach who will be just as good, but I just want to meet him first and see how we connect.

    *SNIP*

    "I think there's still a good chance I'll make an early commitment, probably sometime in the summer. My main focus right now is my academics and getting everything in order there so I really haven't talked to that many schools. I talk to Washington more than anyone and that's a big reason why they're on top right now but I'll play things out a little more and then go from there."

    SCs in on every five star receiver, unless they take 7 I'm not worried about them ending with Spiker, even if they take a commit early.

    FML! Ektard on his blog saying Coach Lubick is on bigger WR targets. Manuel Allen and Amon-Ra St Brown...... Chase Williams still hasn't been contacted and their ok with Spiker looking around. FML!

    8 new crystal balls on 247 for UW since 3-07. Sounds like Ektard is right on the money again.

    have you seen the crystal balls? ektard being ektard. It's 10 for UW, 0 for everyone else, and UW is the only "warm" school.

    I would rather have Spiker/Williams than St. Brown/Allen. Not an Allen fan.

    Chase Williams > Manuel Allen Chase will be the next punt returner too.
    If he has the speed, Spiker will be a first round pick, eventually.
