Crystal songs are coming in. 🤷🏽♂️

Dongs are coming in so it looks like he is coming here.
I am guessing the door just closed on Easteem or Covington -
Had a huge crush on Crystal Gayle as a kid. Loved it when her record albums came out of the console. That hair made my pre pubescent pee pee feel funny.GrundleStiltzkin said:

So Sidney Jones?Penace said:He has some really good hands/ball skills which is why some schools are recruiting him as a wide receiver. But my god his frame is slight and he doesn't look veey explosive .
He showed some willingness to tackle which is good. This dude is a middle of the pack 3 star. I won't be pissed if he commits but at this stage I was hoping for something more. -
And yet somehow recruiting rankings correlate strongly to team success.Peterman said: -
Did this kid commit? Did I miss something?
-
So now some people are saying that he has postponed his announcement. Ups and downs
-
Covington moving up his commitment give Esteen more time to make up his mind? Seemed odd that out of the blue Covington decided to commit today
-
Definitely feels like the chips are falling into place. Now go hard after Hector. There should be urgency for guys to jump on board. I believe that urgency is why Covington committed today.

I think Big Dick Jimmy just said "Fuck this waiting shit, I do what I want"
-
Soooooo, just a schedule change or situations change and he lost his spot?

i like the attitude, though... to apologize for the inconvenience is showing respect to people who follow him.Meek said: -
Browning : Rypien :: Covington : Jackson ?

According to sonics, he's just delaying the announcement to provide some distance between his and Jacobe's. He's committed and will announce soon.

What's Going On With Elijah Jackson?
This one is a tough call.
Here's now things progressed.
The Huskies put some pressure on Jackson to make his decision and, seeing as how Washington had been the slight leader for him and his parents appear to want him there, he appeared ready to make his decision and told everyone he was going to commit to UW on Saturday.
Friday night, I am aware that there a phone call between Jackson and Cal and that really muddied the waters for the big corner. It's why he decided to wait until 8 pm and then ultimately change his mind.
So, the question is, did Cal make up enough ground to get him to hold off or, with Covington in the boat, did Washington tell him he didn't have a spot?
Right now, I'd say it's more likely that the Cal conversation made him hold off and he'll now wait so he can mull things over a bit more. We'll see how hard Washington goes after him now that he has become indecisive. -
Eklund provides two separate reports that contradict one another (hector and this). I guess I shouldn’t expect much but if my lil brain can use deductive reasoning to identify conflicts in the scenarios, we obviously have a problem Houston.

I'm not even impressed by this kid and don't really want him but now I have to because I'm afraid of the plan D guy we'll have to offer if we don't get him. Early in the cycle we thought we were getting Ringo and Hector as slam dunks to UW at corner. Doesn't look like we'll get either. Good safety class but the corners are gonna be straight up hidden gem guys unless their Senior film really impresses.

Dom Hampton looked like ass in his Junior film but the coaches saw him at camps and loved him.Ballz said:I'm not even impressed by this kid and don't really want him but now I have to because I'm afraid of the plan D guy we'll have to offer if we don't get him.

Senior film he was a god.
LIPO when it comes to our DB’s. They’ve never been anything but elite, and as @woof has proven, they have usually been the lowest ranked group in recruiting circles. -
Dude he did not look like ass. He looked ok his jr year, but nothing compared to his SR yearDoogCourics said:

Compared to the way he looked as a senior? Yes he did.FirePete said:

People were wondering why he was being offered because he wasn’t that great. Then his senior film pops and holy fucking shit.
My point to Ballz was that the one position you don’t have to worry about lower ranked players being offered and taken is DB. The Senior film will tell the tale. -

That's why I said "unless their Senior film impresses". There's a good chance it will but as of right now, Smith and Jackson are objectively hidden gem recruits with the physical tools you want but haven't put elite high school performances on film. Equating every under-the-radar 3-star DB we recruit to Dom Hampton is stupid. That's a very rare occurrence in which a 5-star talent was rated 3-stars. Something like that is not likely to be repeated every time we take an under-the-radar 3-star DB recruit just because Jimmy recruited them.DoogCourics said:
