So, this year is a comparatively weak year in-state, but the next two years following are insanely good.
Right now, we have two offers out in-state for 2019 and both kids are committed (Morris and Kalepo).
There are probably 5-10 guys on our radar who I could see 3-4 getting offers anywhere from now until December:
TE Quentin Moore (Inglemoor wherever the fuck that is): raw, but projected down the line looks like he could be good.
OL Aric Davison (Richland HS): Too small, but plays well.
OL Bailey Elder (Tacoma-Stadium): doesn't seem like we are recruiting him, but that could change once he picks up 3-4 P12 offers (which he will).
OL Cole Thomas (Seattle-Blanchet): I never count out guys who are huge. We could offer him in December if for some reason he has a great senior season and we are desperate.
OLB Justus Legg (Auburn-Riverside): Junior film was wack.
BUCK Orin Patu (Seattle-RB): I really like this kid, but he's going to have to put on 40+ pounds.
OLB AJ Vonphachanh (Chiawana): I like him, but I think he's like a true 3* kid.
LB/BUCK Alphonzo Tuputala (Fed Way HS): I really like this kid and think we will offer. Dude has good, quick feet and hits like a truck.
LB Jaymason Willingham (Steilacoom): Needs to learn how to play football, but he's gifted.
ATH Darien Chase (Vancouver-Union): The problem is, where do you put him? We aren't going to take him over any big time DB or WR. I like him, though.
ATH Dontae McMillan (Seattle-Sealth): Oregon offered him in their 'we are offering everyone' phase. I don't see us offering, but you never know.
I think the most likely guys we offer here are (in order): Patu, Elder, Moore (Chase and Tuputala used to be here, but because I only point out the times I'm right I want to point out that Eklund said we didn't offer Tuputala the day we did and I said we'd offer him a year before we did)
Shit REALLY picks up next year, though. Holy Christ. There are TEN guys who I think are going to be recruited by big time schools. There will be more that will pop out this year, too.
RB Sam Adams (EC): 3* Athletically gifted, not sure what position he plays, though.
RB Avery Morrow (Garfy): 3* Could end up as a 4, definitely a good athlete.
WR Gee Scott Jr. (EC): 4* Okay, whatever about his dad, but this kid is fantastic.
WR Ja'Lique Martin (Bellingham-Squalor): 3* Not sure how big time he will be, but he's pretty good.
TE D'Andre Rogers (EC): 4* Man. Among. Boys.
OL Geirean "Hi Bill" Hatchett (Lockerland): 5*
DT Jernias Tafia (EC): Don't totally know where to rate him because he's a Baby Huey. If he's really 6-4+ he will be a 4*.
OLB Sav'ell Smalls (Fucking Garfield, we are cursed): 5* One of the best players in the cuntry.
LB Carson Bruener (Redmond HS): 4* fantastic player.
DB Ayden Hector (EC): 4* Amazing cover skills.
DB Javon Forward (Auburn-Riverside): 3* At this point he's 6-2, 200 and moves really quickly. That bodes well.
Then in 2021 we are getting into the territory where we could take the majority of our class from in-state. It's an insane class. Not that many names right now because they were just frosh, but there's a lot here.
QB Sam Huard (What kind of parent lets their son go to school in Burien?): 5*
WR Junior Alexander (Burien Privates High): 4*
WR Emeka Egbuka (Still I come! - Jesus): 4*
WR Jabez Tinae (Dead Kennedys): 3* I knocked him down a star for saying UW is his favorite school.
OL Owen Prentice (Coker Gays HS): 4*
DL Antwan Brown (Garf): 3*
OLB JT Tuimoloau (EC): 5*
LB Caden Jumper (Eatonville): 3*
LB/DB Will Latu (Methel): 4*
LB/DB Julien Simon (Lincoln): 4*

collegehigh school football.great post, though
Sam Huard's hudl is going to be so much fun to watch the next few years.
Five stars
3. Smalls
6*. Ringo
Four stars
60. Scott Jr
156. Hatchett
200. Rogers
205. Hector
239. Adams (listed as RB)
So for comparison, 2018 had Sirmon, Tre'Shaun, Kyler and... Rodrick Fisher? WTF?
So 2018 had 0 five stars, 4 4 stars. 2020 has 1 five star and 5 four stars, and there will probably be another 75-100 four stars handed out, with at least one or two in state kids likely to add one.
Great in state class. Insane if you count Ringo.
2021 will be insane regardless.
* Not in state, but sort of in state given he still trains with FSP
