"These are the 2nd and 3rd freshman that USC has offered in Washington already from the 2021 class, along with JT Tuimoloau who is the top freshman in the state, and they're already making a big impression on JT.
They're also keeping an eye on Sam Huard, the National Freshman of the Year who they watched throw on Monday.
USC isn't wasting any time offering these guys, who will easily be national recruits."
This horse has been beaten to death already, but I feel like getting a few kicks in.
Now, I'm not saying that @Dennis_DeYoung 's alcohol fueled rants have legs..... But DDY's alcohol fueled rants have legs.
USC is offering our? elite in-state kids well before UW does. Why? BECAUSE THEY'RE FUCKING ELITE! Huffman said it plain and simple, they're going to be national recruits, so why waste time? Get in early and make it known you want them.
At least Pete has offered Tuimoloau right? Listen, I love that UW is selective with their offers. Seeing that Oregon has offered nearly 300 does give me a nice chuckle. Kids believe that a UW offer "means something". I also realize you don't want to offer too many kids early that might jump on offers and you're stuck with them because you won't boot them. But that isn't a fucking thing when the kids are... wait for it.... ELITE!!!!!
But if you can't see the elite kids in your back yard are going to have literally everyone after them and you need to have them thinking to themselves "I love all these offers but UW is the hometown team, and they were MY FIRST OFFER"..... then I can't fucking help you.
One final tangent:
We may all laugh at Helton because he's a shitty coach and for all we know shit will fall apart without Darnold. But can we at least agree that he is seeing what is happening up north, saw that UW flipped Tuli and got Kaho and got Irvin, and is saying "Fuck that shit".
USC is coming for our lunch and here is the proof:
Per Huffman, "USC QB coach Bryan Ellis was by Sammamish (Wash.) Eastside Catholic to watch a number of players they've offered including 2020 WR Gee Scott, 2020 DB Ayden Hector, 2020 TE D.J. Rogers and 2021 DE J.T. Tuimoloau, plus they watched 2020 RB Sam Adams."
2021 Class
- JT Tuimoloau - USC Offer, UW Offer (Hey we did this one right and were the first!)
- Julien "I'm 28" Simon - USC Offer, No UW Offer
- Will Latu - USC Offer, No UW Offer
- Sam Huard - No USC Offer (but they're already on him per Huffman), No UW Offer
- Emeka Egbuka - No USC Offer, No UW Offer, but FSU and both Oregon schools have so USC will before UW
2020 Class
- Gee Scott Jr - USC Offer, No UW Offer, Half the Pac-12 has offered, ND Offer
- DJ "I'm 35" Rogers - USC Offer, No UW Offer, Nebraska + Utah + ASU + LSU + Arkansas have all offered
- Ayden Hector - USC Offer, No UW Offer, Cal + Zona + Oregon have all offered
- Sam Adams - No USC Offer, No UW Offer, Cal + Zona have offered and USC was talking to him because he's a part of a core 4 at EC
- Geirean Hatchett - USC Offer, UW Offer (We got a second one right!), Half the Pac-12 has offered, Half the Big-12 has offered, etc., he's really good
- Sav'ell Smalls - USC Offer, UW Offer (We got a third one right!), Everyone including your mom has offered
So of the 11 elite kids sitting in our? backyard, we? have offered just 3 of the kids, and that's only because they are the no brainer 5* kids that you have no choice but to offer.
Meanwhile USC has only NOT offered 3 of the kids. And those 3 USC are all evaluating now and will be offering soon.
Recap:
2020 and 2021 Elite prospects in Washington State
UW has offered 3 of 11
USC has offered 8 of 11
Coach Pete may run circles around Clay as a coach, but Clay is opening our fridge and plans on eating what he wants while Pete just looks at him and is nervous to tell him he can't do that.
If you can't see that, then I can't fucking help you with that either.
I really like that Mitchell Wolfe kid's highlights at linebacker. Runs well sideline to sideline and hits hard. Still probably a step below the talent level of what we'd like to be recruiting but he maybe could make a jump from his junior to senior season.
I wonder if this is like the “recruiting Egbuka as a DB/WR”, just a way to keep their attention while Lubick was dead man walking. Tinae took his pictures with Adams and the other WRs.

Pretty sure it was as a PWO too, so there’s that

Edit: why you only point out the times I was wrong?
Some technically gifted writing in there.
At least it would continue the trend of KB only getting who he should be getting.
