    Okay - so just to remind everyone who is on the bored at BUCK...

    GUYS WITH OFFERS (rankings mine):
    1. Kayvon T. - No chance in hell even though he spent all winter saying he really liked UW. When the Bruce Waynes came in, we are in the corner waving.
    2. Bru McCoy - Maybe more of a SAM. Had us in his top 5. Never coming here because we can't recruit good players.
    3. Laiatu Latu - Amazing player, going to Bama, Cal, Stanford or USC.
    4. Treven Ma'ae - Fucking incredible talent, never coming to UW.
    5. Josh Pakola - Going to Stanford.
    6. Marcus Hicks - lol
    7. Isreal Isuman-Hundley - You think we are going to get a black and African kid who plays BUCK out of Texas? lulz
    8. Peter Mpagi - You think we are going to get an African kid who plays BUCK out of Texas (if he has offers from anyone in-state)? lulz
    9. Bralen Trice - We could get him... primarily because I don't like his film very much.

    Others we have no shot at: Mase Funa, Mataio Soli, Colt Ellison—not that I want him, Ty Robinson... etc.

    GUYS WITHOUT OFFERS
    1. Dylan Hall - I really like this kid a lot and I suspect we will wait until the above guys all spurn us to offer and then it will be too late.
    2. Orin Patu - probably more of a SAM, hips not super wide, but a good looking player that I'd be fine with offering.
    3. Justus Legg - Unless he has a Joe Tryon level senior season, he's out of the running. Looked great as a soph, but because we are cursed he sucked as a junior.
    4. Alphonzo Tuputala - He said a while ago we were recruiting him at BUCK, so I'll throw him in here. It's possible he gets an offer. He's pretty good.

    So, in sum: We won't get anyone good again this year, because no matter how many times you send Corky up to 10s in a bar in Scottsdale, he's not going to fuck. It doesn't matter how long he's been talking to them and it doesn't matter if they think he's a nice, stable guy.

    Here's the plan Dennis: We land Foskey as a TE, we switch him to BUCK after he signs his LOI, we let him play in garbage time and maybe a few real snaps from time to time, then we cross our fingers he stays after his freshmen season.
    Great plan. Except Foskey is never coming here as TE, Buck, or anything else.

    Never say never. I never heard he was writing us off.

    We have no shot with Foskey.

    I like Tuputala and Patu just fine. They would make for another underwhelming class though. I can kind of see why Dennis likes Dylan Hall; he's basically a shitty Jeremiah Martin. He's tall and plays with such a high pad level he's basically leaning backwards. Martin made up for it by being crazy fast and explosive. I don't think Dylan Hall does. I'd honestly rather have Patu at that point, but for now I'm deluding myself that we can get Fautanu to commit, and use him and Kaho to help somehow land Ma'ae against all odds. Please don't respond unless you want to take part in that fantasy. Thanks.
