Hatchett is a guy we would have been a centerpiece OL recruit over the entire time I've followed recruiting (2001 I think). Instead hes a notch below the three (yes 3) amazingly talented guys at the head of the class and is almost forgettable. The thing is that hes a great prospect in his own right.
The fifth OL commit, who's name I can't even remember, is a better looking tackle than 99% of the OL prospects signed at UW going back to RN.
If this OL group stays together, the WR trio stays together, Smalls stays onboard, and we get two good DL, I wouldn't argue against this being UWs best class in the time period.

Every guy we got this year is better than the year before except Fautanu who might be the best of the bunch. If Huff can’t get it done this year, fire him, because the talent is there and we can’t squander it.
"I've already been down there so many times, this was more about me doing a little recruiting and also getting the chance to spend time with guys who I will be playing with," Hatchett told Dawgman.com. "We had a great time just hanging out and continuing to form the bond you want with your teammates.
"Jaxson Kirkland was my host and (Samueal Peacock's host) was Henry Bainivalu and (Gaard Memmelaar's) host was Cole Norgaard, so the whole group spent a lot of time together and just hung out and ate a lot of food. I think I gained about 10 pounds with all the food they gave us."
"Sav'ell (Smalls) was there with us and so was Carson (Bruener) and Sam (Peacock) and Sawyer (Racanelli) and we got the chance to talk a lot of football and even if we didn't have a lot in common or we were on the other side of the ball, we still were able to have stuff to talk about, like teams we played, stuff like that, so it was fun."
"It really started to hit me how close we are to the end when they handed us our letters (of intent) and went through all of the stuff," Hatchett said. "Three or four years ago, I could never have imagined I would be here now and it's just exciting to know it's almost done and then that's when the hard work really gets started."
Hatchett is one of six in-state prospects that are committed to the Huskies.

1) it looks to me like Hatchett went to Colorado to watch his o-line commit buddy...that is looking like serious culture we're getting.
2) Roger has blood on his jersey and a smile on his face
Best OL class I’ve seen at UW since I started following any of this.
