It may not be a big deal or maybe I had a couple drinks in me and I'm dooging but I wanted to point out that on dawgman in the commitment section where they list the top 25 commits ever for uw I would like to point out the 6 have yet to play a down for UW. I think that is huge for UW and the program that 6 of the top 25 commits have yet to play. I also understand that some of those highest rated croots some never panned out the way they were hyped but still 6!? Also how it Tuitele not 5 stars..... that is all

One of most highly recruited prep football players ever out of the State of California in 1981–1982, he verbally committed to the University of Washington about three weeks before National Signing Day on February 10, 1982, despite the Huskies already having RB Jacque Robinson who as a freshman was the MVP of the 1982 Rose Bowl game in which the Huskies beat Iowa 28–0. But on signing day, Willhite shocked the college football world and signed with the University of Oregon.[1] Reportedly, he ultimately chose the Ducks over the Huskies because of the Ducks' track program.
Willhite severely tore his hamstring during his senior high school track season in 1982 and then suffered further injuries at the University of Oregon during his freshman season, which resulted in him redshirting in 1982. He had an undistinguished college football career. Because of the effect of his injuries, he was switched to fullback where he was used mostly as a blocking back. He became a starter his senior year.
During the NFL strike season of 1987, Willhite became a replacement player for the Green Bay Packers. In three games for the Packers, he rushed for 251 yards on 53 carries (4.7 avg), with a long run of 61 yards, but no touchdowns. He is the younger brother of former Denver Broncos' RB Gerald Willhite.

Gosh that's a shame
We saw the college years which usually doesn't correlate with expectations from hs based on potential. It is what it is.
Browning had the touchdown record hype in hs. Miles had the hyped athleticism. Paus had the hyped gunslinger look. Williams... Don't remember actually.
We sucked at recruiting
