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

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 -

Word down here on the mean streets of Vegas from my local cocaine addicted hookers is he’s all DOOG

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.FireCohen said:

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

Feels like we have a horse in the race.

Not sure which is worse, tOSU or Oklahoma.HuskyClaws said:Ohio State is very confident. They say he has already informed the coaches there.
Certainly doesn't hurt their chances of JTT going there as well.

He also talked about lake being the one who went to see him first and had CP offer. Junior was not only mentioned for his development (his words) he also said junior was more than a coach to him more like an uncle. Sodoog_codpiece said:

Recruits also feel obligated to say nice things, perhaps VERY nice things, about the people whose careers about to get fucked by their commitment decision. Food for thought.Canadawg said:

If his Grandparents ARE big UW fans and he IS announcing on Friday because its their 50th anniversary, it would be a bit of a slap in the face not to choose UW. Just my logic but I dont know how teens think anymore
-
Are we're seriously doing "Julien Simon wouldn't announce for USC on Mother's Day" again already??

The grandparents thing is kind of a positive, but nothing from that interview gave any indication what school he was favoring

Sonics saying on BDTW that it's not UW. FWIW.

If it’s not Ohio State, Huffman won’t change his crystal ball pick until Friday so that doesn’t mean anything.GrundleStiltzkin said:

If OSU is his choice, Emeka is 100% a smokescreen kid. First with the UW sweatshirt then the Oklahoma “likes” on Twitter. He’s no doubt having fun with it and trolling everybody right now which is fine. He’s done a masterful job keeping everyone guessing. Most of us would do the same.
Yes, I’m an optimist and sometimes a relentless doog but I’m also just looking at the facts here people. A long time ago he slipped up and referred to UW as “us” in an interview. Mom favors UW and was seen in public wearing a UW hat. He was photographed wearing a UW sweatshirt a week ago. Mom didn’t go with him on his trip to Oklahoma. And now he’s making his announcement on his grandparent’s anniversary. I don’t know about you, but if I’m honoring my grandparents with my commitment, it’s because the school I’m going to will allow them to easily see me play in-person every home game and road games in Oregon as well. Also, it’s not always what you see, but also what you don’t see sometimes. We used to see guys like Sam Huard and Jalen McMillan publicly peer recruiting Emeka. And then at some point, all of that completely stopped. Could that be because he’s been a silent commit to UW for a while now? Maybe. Did he post a Mother’s day tweet with a photo of him and his mom on a UW visit?
Sure did. Maybe silently committing to UW was a gift to his mom? Also, he sure has been hanging out with Sam Huard and UW commits and targets lately. That’s interesting as well. Point is, there has been a lot of smoke pointing to UW for a long time that has either been ignored or missed by “insiders” who cover Oklahoma and OSU.
That’s why I think he’s gonna shock the world as another hometown hero Friday. My DAWG senses are tingling. When have I ever failed you guys before? This is another Roger Rosengarten. WOOF! WOOF! WOOF! -
When will the ceremonial offer to the 2* WR with offers from Utah State and Fresno go out?
