    No one is really trying to sell you Kalepo. Most are simply attacking the statement you said you think his offer will get pulled when there is 0 history of Petersen’s recruiting that support the claim he pulls offers because he does not think the kid is good anymore. If you meant to say you think he SHOULD get his offer pulled then that’s completely different because that is just your opinion.

    First time for everything and I'd venture to say Pete has never been this close to smelling a Natty and that will trump any sense of loyalty to a kid or concern over optics. I've had the pleasure of briefly speaking with the man twice, once at BSU and once at UW. He's a nice guy, but all business.

    I am not saying it will 100% get pulled, I am saying that if his season continues to roll the way it has, I am not sure how they don't pull the offer and I am betting they would. Kid needs to kick it into high gear. All the stars and FSP training in the world cannot save you on Friday nights when the pads come on.

    This will surely bring a torrent of hate but I am predicting if this kid has a few more games like he has had the last few weeks he is going to get his offer pulled. That's some trash film, I don't care how big and mobile he is. You cannot really coach effort/ motor and I see none. His film last year was better but to be honest not much better.

    Wasn't that the dig on his uncle, Danny Shelton - his HS tape was trash, he took plays/games off, etc.?

    Danny turned out ju-u-u-ust fine.
    Hi

    LEAVE

    fuck off

    Danny played Hawaii in high school

    Didn’t the staff have him at their camp where they could evaluate him against rising seniors and other talented juniors? If so, they would have had at least an opportunity to evaluate him under their own conditions. He still has more than a year to grow before he’s close to enrolling at UW (assuming winter quarter’19 at the earliest).

    I do think Pete’s trying to win that Natty and is all bidness. No doubt. I don’t think he’ll comprise his values or process to get there though.

    Projection and ceiling are nice but with a plethora of kids who have both high ceilings and are wiping floors every Friday night why bother with a kid who is so meh?

    WTF are you talking about?

    I recommend you leave the recruiting to Pete here
