    Hatchett wants to make his decision before he begins his senior season at Ferndale, and is considering the possibility of graduating in December and enrolling in college early.

    “We’ve talked a lot about cutting it down to a top five or top three, depending how I’m feeling over the next little bit or so,” Hatchett said. “Hopefully we can slow lots of it down, so I really know that those are the schools I want to pursue the most.

    “I’m not sure if we’ll release it publicly, but I’ll for sure just know these are the three to five schools I’m keeping in contact with the most and want to focus on.”

    Washington is a good bet to make that list, whether it’s three or five or public or private. Part of Huff’s urging, Hatchett said, is “about how it would be really cool for my little brothers to come see me play every week, and my family and my friends.” Bill and Jana met as students at Western Washington, and decided they’d prefer to stay in the greater Whatcom County area, if possible. Bill landed a job with the Ferndale Police Department, where he’s worked nearly 20 years and is an operations lieutenant. Jana, a human-resources professional, worked for two years in the Seattle area after graduating from college, but was able to move back north and work from home. They moved from Bellingham to Ferndale in 2012, seeking more of a small-town feel. The family is tight-knit, and the boys are active, always running off to a practice or game for one sport or another.

    “That’s definitely a big appeal with me with the University of Washington,” Hatchett said. “Just being an hour and a half down the road, so anyone from here can go down on Saturday and watch me play.”

    Huffman, as plugged into the Pacific Northwest recruiting scene as anybody, forecast Hatchett to UW back in December 2017, and still believes the Huskies are the favorite to land him.

    “I think he’s really developed a good relationship with Scott Huff,” Huffman said. “I think this in-state class in 2020 and 2021 has a lot of potential to really be good for the Huskies. I have a hard time seeing him leaving Washington when it’s all said and done.”
    The Oklahoma thing was always overblown. Both of his parents went to college in western Washington, he's lived in western Washington his entire life, yeah he has some family in Oklahoma but he's a northwest kid. He isn't an Arizona Kelee Ringo.
