    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Matt Lubick and Chris Strausser have just as many TE commits on the roster as Paopao does. Do those two men still work for UDUB?

    why u hate on devin culp
    Devin was such a fuckin' pussy at prep. Worked out with him twice, nothing but curls and skull srushers the whole time, UW beat work ethic into him.

    Eklund now saying Patterson is Air Force bound because UW isnt pushing that hard. Then he writes an essay about how UW must not want him because going to Air Force makes no sense. Patterson couldn't be a fighter pilot due to his height, which, according to Eklund, is the "cool job" and the only reason anyone would attend AFA

    I thought he was going to Ale-bama.

    Perry (Gilbert, Az.) TE Kyle Patterson - It's hard to say, but right now, I don't see UW getting Patterson. Chris Petersen is holding off on his in-home with Patterson. Right now, I believe that Air Force will be the choice, however, some of that might be due to Washington not feeling like he's the right fit. That might sound "convenient", but think about it, he visits UW shortly before the mid-year Signing Period and he doesn't commit and sign with them? As a TE at Air Force, he's not going to be able to do much except catch a handful of passes each year and be a blocker. At Washington, he could be both. There's a lot more involved with being at AFA than there is being a Student Athlete at Washington. The schedule is intense, the work-load/academic-load is even more intense and most football players don't even start out on the main campus. Most go to Air Force Prep for a year where they essentially redshirt/greyshirt, practice, but are not available to play. Also, he won't be able to fly fighter jets at his size. He can still be a pilot, but it wouldn't be the "cool factor" of him being a fighter pilot. I get the feeling that UW might have determined that a guy they already have on campus might be the same type of player as Patterson and that might be why they aren't going as hard after him as they had been. Jack Westover was a walk-on from Mount Si last summer and I know the coaches loved him. A big reason he wasn't more highly recruited was because he struggled to say healthy, but he is a heck of an athlete and he's someone the coaches think could eventually wind up with a scholarship. His development might be a reason they aren't going as hard after Patterson as they might have at one point.

    Like they didn't know what they had in Jack Westover when they offered and tripped Patterson last month?

    No shit. And I really don't see the comparison. Westover is a 6'2-6'4 (depending on where you're looking) walk-on TE while Patterson is a 6'6-6'7 Stanford style TE who was offered by Bama. I'll trust the coaches on this one, but I don't want to. We better be landing some hogs in 2020 if we don't land Patterson.

    Patterson was plan c or d. We need to land Patterson and elite talent next year. It’s not either or.

    JFC, if the coaches decide to pass on the TE position this class to address more pressing needs that fine. But it damn for sure isn't because of Jack Westover. Doogiest shit I've ever seen.

    I thought you said Patterson was going to be amazing and you’d rather have him than Jude Wolfe?
