Watch his senior film and tell me he's not a top 50 player in the country...

He's ridiculous. I think he's another tier above Jaiden Woodbey who's a 5* guy.

Okay.
He’s not a top 50 guy. And he is not a tier above Woodbey.
He is a tier below Irvin.
He is a solid top 250 4 Star, not a top 100 guy.

Sounds like YDWHA

I don’t have a clue what that means...
But Gordon is not top 50.

you didnt want him anyways.

how does Gordon compare to SMFJ, Baker, Murphy Jr and/or King at this stage in terms of skillset and impact?

Now that it’s over I will put out some of the stories why I told you a few weeks ago Gordon was going to UW, despite the constant chatter about ND.

First, one of the guys who writes commitment stories & releases them nationally once a guy commits was informed to write it for Washington. That was told to him by multiple different people in the Gordon camp.

Second, despite the crap being put out there about him going to ND, he was never leaving home. Never. He always mentioned it to others & it was always his first concern.

Third, sources. I loved all the posts telling me that I was stupid because all I needed to do was follow Twitter traffic to know what a kid was doing. Lol. Guess what? Actually talking to people close to him or actually him is much, much better.

Fourth, and more towards the end (so the last week), is the early signing period & other DB’s. ND thought they were getting Irvin & Boykin informed Maryland he would not sign early & would wait until Feb to make his final decision. I asked a national recruiting analyst what this meant for ND in the end & he said “they will continue pushing for Julius Irvin and Noah Boykin, two players I have had ranked ahead of Gordon from the beginning.”
So it sounds ND was really after Irvin & would take the first of Boykin or Gordon.

Side story: we all knew the decision a couple days ago (and I even told you that) because ND told Kyler if he was choosing ND to let them know, not to do some stunt. He told them he was announcing on TV, so they told him “thank you very much for your consideration, we wish you all the best at the University of Washington.” So ND & UW already knew, as did most of us, thus I told you he was going to UW even though you all argued with me.

Salty AF

I’m not salty at all.
I told you from the beginning he was going to UW & never waivered.

I don’t get upset over what 17 year old kids decide with their future, especially when they decide to stay home & play for their team.

Markese Stepp plays at my old school & was a ND commit for 2 years. He didn’t pass admissions so ND cut him loose & he is now committed to ND’s hated rival USC. I still don’t care. Good for him.

Also a lot gayer. But, hey, do whatever floats your boat.

So interviewing a person that contacts you is more gay than stalking them on Twitter & Facebook?

I would kill myself if I had to interview these kids. So yes.

Not one of the experts but size wise the comps are going to be Murphy or maybe a little SMFJ. He appears to have at least some of Murphy's ball skills. His athleticism obviously pops off the tape.

I don't see why he couldn't be just as good as Murphy or at least almost as good as Murphy.

I LOVE him as a FS, but he’ll be a killer slot guy and could easily bounce outside too. I think he might be the most versatile DB we’ve had come in, I’d compare him more to Rapp than any other guy you listed.

I see a little bit of Joyner in his game.

Once the pain of this subsides I do hope you stick around and post. At least in our CFB and TBS boards.

Even though I personally haven’t been following some of the recruits UW is after I have seen their names & info over the past few weeks. I could probably find out more, but like I said the other day, Leroy Irvin ruled out UW a long time ago despite what the kid says. The dad is in charge of that situation.
