Huffman said yesterday that he had sources who said Latu had been a silent commit to USC since July but he couldn’t confirm if that was true and that If it was true UW could end that with a good visit.AtomicDawg said:
Latu has wanted sc for a while. His parents or at least his mom has been a uw proponent since the in home. This is not that hard but eklund is super lazy and finds ways to make it difficult to do his job.bananasnblondes said:In Eklunds blog, hes actually admitting he had bad info on Latu and that Latu was all SC before his visit. Also says he believes Latu will sign with UW on the 19th and announce on the 30th.
I guess we'll know if it's announced that UW signed 21 players on the 19th and there are only 20 on the commit list -
How can somebody sign on the 19th and then announce on the 30th? Doesn't the news become public once he signs?bananasnblondes said:In Eklunds blog, hes actually admitting he had bad info on Latu and that Latu was all SC before his visit.

Only if UW wants it to. Someone could file a public records request but that’s gonna take longer than 11 days.Passion said:

ATBS(JBS!) I don’t see Pete as the kind of coach to play along with that shit. If he signs we’ll know IMO. -
Actually, my guess is that Pete would respect the wishes of the recruit and his family. If he wants to keep his signed LOI private until the Poly Bowl, I bet Pete would respect it.HillsboroDuck said:

But what the hell do I know. -
They can just email a picture of the signed LOI now as well so it would seem pretty easy to keep a signing under wraps.HillsboroDuck said:

This kids frame is fucking massive

You may be right in that he’d already have his LOI.Passion said:

I would usually agree with this 100% but as we recruit more and more high profile recruits I think he’s going to pick his battles on when to be a stiff ass dad like recruiter and when he’s going to have to playcate.
Here I see Pete not caring as long as he gets the LOI in. It would not be seen be other recruits as a cool move whatsoever to trample all over a kids announcement especially such a good kid like Latu who isn’t trying to make a commitment documentary video that is longer than the OJ 30 for 30. A lot of these kids pick a certain date for sentimental family reasons so I don’t see Pete saying fuck your announcement fall in line unless he wants to show other recruits how selfish he is. -
Not suggesting Pete would leak the information against Latus wishes, just saying he may tell him “if you sign with us you need to tell people by the day you sign, no secrets.”LaMichael_Corleone said:HillsboroDuck said:

Time will tell.
He’s obviously waited to WOOF in accordance with kids’ wishes so I could be wrong. -
Agree and “tell people” may just mean people Pete cares about, meaning coaches from other schools trying to recruit him. Pete couldn’t give a fuck about telling Huffman and Biggins where he’s going and probably wouldn’t mind recruits keeping more secrets from those guys. But Pete would absolutely care that Latu tells Johnny Nansen to stay away from him and his family because he already signed and it’s a done deal.HillsboroDuck said:
