It's kind of insane the amount of talent UW is accumulating in the "expect a woof soon, he just committed" category and/or the "he seems to publicly recruiting for UW, seems like just a matter of time before he commits". Sometimes it helps to see it laid out in one place:
Rumored to already be committed:
Sam Adams
Geirean Hatchett
Jacobe Covington
JTT (2021)
Will Latu (2021)
Seems to be publicly recruiting for us?
Makell Esteen
Upcoming WOOFs could be any of these kids rather easily (or the LS).
Assuming all of them come in, and I don't really see us missing on any of these, that's three more blue chips for this class (would get us to 8), plus two more for next year and a classic Jimmy Lake underrated corner recruit.
And obviously significantly more to come after that.
If we can add Hector, two four star WRs (out of Odunze, Bryant and LVS) we're at 11 blue chips. Get an edge rusher and you're at 12. Offer and close Rogers that's 13.
13 is probably the cap for this class with the three stars we've already taken plus the specialists. I guess we could sneak 14 if you pulled Banks and Smalls with the rest of this but that's highly unlikely, or if we found room for another OL but I don't see them going over 4.
I'm gonna guess we hit 13 blue chips this tim around with 12-14 being the range. @YellowSnow, what would that do to our bc totals?
Comments
We're so young right now when it comes to blue chips, so who do we lose after this season?
- Trey Adams for sure
- Hunter Bryant perhaps
- Skinny if he wins the Heisman??
We could be looking at a scenario in 2020 where we have 52 blue chips in progress which puts us in like top 6 or 7 teams in the country talent wise.
Remove Yankoff, Adams, Roberts, Wellington, and Potato. Then make whatever decisions you want on early entrants or other transfers.
But there are 27 Blue Chip in just RS Frosh and True Frosh alone. 3 more for Sophomores and you hit 30. Add in another 13 in this class, and you're sitting at 43 in just the last 3 classes.
Alabama - #1 ranked roster talent wise (61 blue chips)
Washington - #24 ranked roster (24 blue chips)
2017 (Season) Fiesta Bowl
Penn State - #19 ranked roster (34 blue chips)
Washington - #24 ranked roster (23 blue chips)
2018 (Season) Rose Bowl
Ohio State - #1 ranked roster (66 blue chips)
Washington - #19 ranked roster (32 blue chips)
Mike Callahan hasn't been able to win the big game either of late against teams with significantly better talent.
