Seriously, I mentioned this way back when the Poly Bowl was first announced. Having a guy like Danny repping purple is really, really important.

Shelton is an honorary captain there ... y'know, we got guys/targets like Tanner McKee, Tuli Letuligasenoa, Chris Murray, Tennessee Pututau, Merlin (Vato) Robertson, Penei Sewell, Isaac Taylor-Stuart, Solomon Tuliaupupu ... and other committed guys like Hufanga etc ...
we have our own players like Ale, Tafisi, Zion, Kaho, Gordon, Taimani there ...
this is extra recruiting during a dead period (iirc). Important shit.
When 1st round draft pick, Danny Shelton, walks around with a cool boombox bag and expensive sunglasses ... kids pay attention.
I said "it sure helps with recruiting when you're first round Poly DT with a big personality is guesting at a major function like the Poly Bowl ... "
... and no one said a fucking peep!
I'm not going to bother dig up that comment, fuck that shit. But I better get a shout out DDY!
DDY, check the link. Danny walking around rubbing shoulders with recruits looking that way and presenting that way ... has a ton of weight. If he is allowed to say "I loved my time at Washington ... and Coach Pete runs a fucking awesome program and you will know you've made the right choice ..." kids will listen. More than 100 Malloe's could influence.
