Drama with Kalepo was inevitable. He’s too active and loves recruiting too much. He verballed before his junior year.

But fuck, that kid recruited like a motherfucker for the 2018 class.

He had some impact. I’m not sure exactly how bi of role he played in the commitments.

I bet he ends up at UW if Pete doesn’t drop him. I can’t fault him for looking around, but history has shown Pete doesn’t play this game.

Pete doesn't drop commitments. He just goes on the sliding scale for that position. Kalepo keeps his spot if and only if the position doesn't fill up. Nathan has made a very poor move with the unofficial to SC because he now has to look over his shoulder at what 5 or 6 recruits do for the 3 or 4 spots available. He had a guaranteed spot that is now a slippery slope. And SC will have much bigger targets than him. You can love being recruited but it can also come back and bite you in the ass.

Just to add you wouldn't think more than two OT's would be taken in the class. Rhyan, Buelow, Vimahi and Miller are still in the mixer. If two of them want to commit, I'm not sure how Nathan keeps his spot.

Im sure Huff/Pete have already had a nice chit chat with him.

Some of you guys are making way too big of a deal out of this whole LA trip. He went down there for the UA camp. Sure, if he took an unofficial on his own dime solely to check out USC I’d be concerned and expect Petersen to take action. He didn’t though. He went to USC w/ his cousin along with a boat load of other kids and of course they offered him bc he’s a rare freak at a rare position. Do I think that NK is their #1 Target at OT? Definitely not. Schools offer committed players all the time and this no exception. They’ve offered 15 offensive tackles so far and why not offer the cousin of a top local target (Tauanu’u)? If anything it speaks to Kalepo’s talent. If I was him I’d be pretty stoked too that they offered too.

Yes we all know the Marlon situation. They cucked us. But let’s not act like we aren’t chipping away at their prowess. Head to head we’ve been out recruiting them (see Kaho, Irvin & Tuli) and all of you who are freaking out over this is proof that they’re still living in UW’s head even though they really shouldn’t be.

USC will always get their studs but that hasn’t stopped them from epically underperforming for the past 30 years. We’re clearly getting under their skin and it’s only a matter of time before it shows up on the field. Relax. Clay Helton isn’t going anywhere. And neither is Kalepo.

Kalepo looked around with his cousin and a bunch of others ... He's a teenager whatever. We're trending up and that's what matters. The pieces will fall into place ... If you can't handle the ups and downs of recruiting then fuck off!

Hi Nathan. I know you'll read this. You are quickly losing your status as the Husky nation fan favorite recruit in this class. You're either a Dawg or you're not. Ain't no in-between. Best decide for yourself what you are soon before Coach Pete decides for you because you won't like his decision. Nut up son!

Nick Bolton says hi. They have a threshold of how much bullshit they can take from each recruit. Kalepo has a longer leash than Bolton did but he can definitely be dropped if this behavior continues. They can't just have him making a mockery of their no visit policy.

Nick Bolton fucking sucked. It's easy to drop a guy as an example when there's another 100 guys out there just like him. He was only committed to us in the first place because Gregory couldn't get laid in a whorehouse.
