    Dong me for THE University of Washington

    Talks roughly half the time about UW and basically says osu has a large alumni base and for ou he just says Williams threw with him.

    Made it clear he's thinking about life after football and Seattle sets him up for that well and also that being the hometown guy is big.

    JT 👀

    You have Emeka talk about his strong relationship with Junior and says he LIKES Jimmy Lake (no real conversation on their "relationship"), but when it shifts to Ryan Day he immediately mentions how they talk every other day.

    Combine this w/what's in the JT thread and there's a pretty clear picture of the relative weights the head coaches are putting in.

    I agree with you that he is going to Ohio State (Because of other reasons) but your interpretation after listening to this conversation sucks.

    If a random person listens to this conversation with no context, it absolutely seems like UW is the choice...
    - He mentions Sam Huard is one of his best friends, this is something he does not say about Gee, Julian Flemming, Jaxson Nigba Smith, or Caleb Williams. Clearly Sam is closer to him than the others
    - Well known that his grandparents are big husky fans. He is announcing on their anniversary
    - He specifically mentions being able to launch a brand based on playing in the Seattle market.
    - Fawns over Junior Adams being so close that he is basically an uncle and part of the family, something he didnt say about Hartline.
    - Without being prodded talks about how close he is to his family and how coold it would be for his sibblings and parents to see him play.
    - Hypes up hometown producing and repping hometown.

    Again agree with you about Ohio State mainly because we have got 0 indication that UW has taken the lead at any step of this process and also because Ohio State insiders have been supremely confident for way too long. But yeah based on this conversation its idiotic to say that it confirms Ohio State.
    He said that conversation just confirms what we already knew about Lake not putting time into recruiting. That's all his point was.

    And he was right.

    Can we cry about not getting Emeka when it actually happens? I'll be first in line.

    No one knows what's going to happen. These guesses are just that. Guesses.

    Just got off the rotary phone with my Emeka contact. Said he had already told UW coaches Monday that he was going to Oklahoma.

    However, Emeka changed his mind this morning when he woke up to news of UW's great victory in securing the Pac-12 north crown and is now a heavy UW lean...Stay tuned

    I'm not against speculation. I'm against acting like he's already signed with Oklahoma. I, for one, love the grandparent's anniversary angle. Now go fuck yourself.

    Acting like he already signed with other team is part of the speculation drama dude

    Ohio State is very confident. They say he has already informed the coaches there.
