    I'd think he is staying home given that spring practice is up in the air, UW has shown reasonable care and affection for how they are handling protocol for athletes, he is personally connected to the incoming QB that has the rare ability to throw the deep ball, and it's important to be able to be around family during these weird times.

    I wish I could Doog with you on this, but I think he will look at an offense where the top receiver has 9 catches through four games and a team that just lost to a bad Stanford team and say thanks but no thanks, I’m going to a team I know can compete for Nattys and I know can get WRs the ball and unfortunately through 4 games fairly or unfairly that doesn’t look like UW.
    I'd also hope he'd be smart enough to see that the current offense has a lid on it, and that "rare ability to throw the deep ball" coming in would remove that lid. Hopefully, he's also watched closely enough to know that the top receivers would all have 15 catches and multiple TDs if they caught more than they dropped...
    I agree with you, and while I’m not thrilled with 3-1, with a new coach and OC and QB I’m fine with it.

    I just think from his perspective it is two relatively known commodities in OSU and Oklahoma and their coaches versus Jimmy L and UW which is more or less an unknown in LIPO mode for better or worse.

    I dont see anything about the UW offense not to like if I'm a top receiver prospect.
    1) staff willing to give reps and looks to young guys, even after costly drops
    2) Other young WR making plenty of costly drops = plenty of opportunity
    3) scheme has plenty of downfield passing but QB and receivers struggling to execute
    4) Incoming QB excels at throwing the deep ball

    He's going to tOSU. But still.

    If there is one positive thing about the horrors of this thread and another 5 star leaving the state and the Pac12, it's that I deciphered another bored acronym:
    ITB= in the bag, instead of something related to Komo4.

    If we beat Stanford we would all think he’s coming here. I remember when we all did. It was only a week ago.

    I was a two week old doog back then. Unfortunately he died.
