    It may have been the Athletic article that said Ford will not go where Bru McCoy goes. That pretty much rules out USC. Everything I see from him points more toward UW than UO, with the lone exception being early PT.

    His recruitment feels like Irvin's last year, where I was nervously optimistic about our chances for 3 months. History tells me to not expect good things in these situations, but I think we are probably favorites to land him.

    So I can't think of a WR of this level we've had under peterman. I don't think we have one currently on our roster either. If he has the playbook smarts, I could see PT next year. He is that good!
    John Ross was the best player in the conference in 2016, Ford has a ways to go before he gets to that level.

    He's much, much more refined coming in than Ross was though. But I'm hearing that adds nothing to his value.
    I just mentioned PT, not the best player in the conference... is that you ballz?
    "So I can't think of a WR of this level we've had under peterman."
    Maybe I choose my words wrong. I can't think of a higher rated game changing, polished, and potentially ready to play from go, receiver that we've landed under peterman.

    Ross did not come in at the level as a freshmen that ford will be at as a freshmen. He would not redshirt at udub.

    I don't disagree with any of that

    If Oregon had a chance with Ford, he would have visited this weekend. He isn’t, so it’s either USC or UW.

    What team do you like more between USC and UW? Is UW like your second team?

    I'm leaning more to USC. It doesn't matter how much of a dumpster fire that school is at times, they almost always manage to get the Cali kids they want. Even with that I was leaning UW until USC hired Kliff. The air raid offense at a high profile school is a wr's wet dream. I think it's too much for Ford to pass up. USC will also have an experienced QB. He wasn't great this year, but he should improve. We really don't know who UW's QB will be next year.
