I agree. I am looking at Kobe Pepe (USC), Jordan Berry (LSU) and Tobin Philips (Stanford). LSU has 5 DT's currently committed and are trending for a another. Somebody is getting the boot.insinceredawg said:

- UW offer
- but committed to another school
- that is a position of need
- not mentioned previously?
Waitaminute... forget that. Don't want to get sonics in trouble. Want him to stay!
There just aren't that many options. -

He said OL recruiting was done earlier in the thread.FremontTroll said:I just want to note for the record that sonics did not say Tosh Baker was not the secret flip candidate.
Tosh Baker it is then.
Princely or Van flips from Texas it is then! -
Man y’all have 0 questions? Haha, sonics left and everyone got dead quiet

it's like those hours after you have sex for the first time in months (or in the case of the dudes here - first time ever)...you lay there in the after-glow with nothing left but a dim smile on your face.AcropolisJr said:Man y’all have 0 questions? Haha, sonics left and everyone got dead quiet
give them a couple days and they'll have more recruiting appetite. -
Aight, what's the typical agenda for official visits? Washington do anything unique?AcropolisJr said:Man y’all have 0 questions? Haha, sonics left and everyone got dead quiet

I feel really good about him, but he’s elite of the elite and PaoPao has missed on the elite guys and typically falls back to other recruits. -
Is jacobe committing today?
-
Shit, I got all kinds of questions. Clark Phillips: did he just not have interest, or we cool on him because of lack of size?
Why did we offer Carson Bruener all of a sudden? Was it missing on Herbig and Bothelo and others, or did we really just happen to complete our eval of him and decide he was good enough?
Why did Justin Flowe not even give us the time of day? How did Bothelo go from (reported) UW lean to never even visiting or letting the season play out? Did ND just give him an ultimatum or was his interest in the UW never really that high?
How can our TE recruiting be so poor after we put Dissly and Sample into the NFL, with Bryant looking like R2 prospect at worst? Why are offering Plan G guys after missing Navarette, Yurosek, Taylor, Smith, et al? What is Paopao doing, sending guys dick pics? This seems like the easiest sell in the building, yet we are struggling. Why?
Damian Sellers: he didn't like us, or we didn't like him?

Oh I also heard/saw Bruener ran a 4.6...

He's going to be a monster. LOL at him being rated 1000th in the country....backthepack said:Oh I also heard/saw Bruener ran a 4.6...

Why does pete hide that he likes costume parties?

Has will Harris closed any recruits? Or is lake still closing dudes

Doing well with him and Huard should make a ton of difference in his recruitment as far as UW is concerned.DoogCourics said:

Still trying to get confirmation -
Yes he has, he is great with the California kids.FirePete said:Has will Harris closed any recruits? Or is lake still closing dudes

Doesn’t want his wife to find out. -
Not having Junior Adams... that’s what happened. LolFear_Boner said:What happened with Kyle Ford?

No idea, they have the lake and Seattle to offer, that’s definitely dope AF and unique. But protocol for the visits, that’s locked tightGrundleStiltzkin said:

That’s almost as fast as me. 😈 -
That might be because nobody listened to your pod.backthepack said:
I didn’t get this type of pub when I called Leach an aspy on tbe podGrundleStiltzkin said:
chinned for aspyFremontTroll said:
Yeah no shit stop being aspy. Like you said no specific scenario makes sense yet here we are.Ballz said:
McDonald is playing ILB this season and all reports have been he's only an ILB for UW. I don't see him wavering. Sounds like from his post commitment interviews he was way more excited about his UW offer than the other schools that offered him (go figure) and distance is not an issue. His older brother plays for San Diego State and was trying to recruit him to play there.FremontTroll said:
Exactly.Ballz said:
Except it doesn't make any sense for UW to still be pursuing Herbig. They are in good shape with Banks and never needed three ILB's in this class in the first place. Herbig would be total overkill and scare off some 2021 ILB targets.FremontTroll said:
My first guesses were same as yours- Navarette or Botelho.StrongArmCobra said:
Why would they take both McDonald and Bruener with Banks still on the hook if that was the case?FremontTroll said:
Herbig.sonics1993 said:
NopeStrongArmCobra said:
There's not a lot of flip possibilities there. Done at QB. Done at RB. Supposedly done at OL (sorry Marcus Henderson), Done at WR unless Gary Bryant wants in, DB class is mapped out (very slim chance we could flip Ransom), ILB class is Banks or nobody, OLB class is Smalls, Navarrette, or Keneley, D-line class is focused on Carlton but they have history with Shipley as well.KrunkJuice said:
I thought it might be Navarette but he said no.KevininTacoma said:Sonics1993 summary-
- There is 2 players both currently committed elsewhere we are in good shape with and could flip.
My speculation on these 2 are Jake Shipley and Jaden Navarette. Not knowing anything but we kind of have an idea what our DB class will be and haven't filled any DL spots
Only real flip candidates are:
Lathan Ransom: We weren't even in his top-5
Jaden Navarrette: Possible if he visits.
Kole Taylor: LOL not happening because Paopao
Johnny Wilson: If he has a big Senior year UW may circle back to him but it looks like that bridge has been burned which is fine with me.
Gee Scott Jr: Seems locked in with OSU.
Jordan Botelho: Has communication with UW opened back up? I could see that.
So yeah, if there are two flip candidates I'm looking at Botelho, Shipley, and Navarrette as the most likely options. 66.6% chance we flip an Oregon commit, again.
Those got noped- the next guy who we seemed to be in the best shape for before losing him was Herbig.
Until Sonic drops something actually juicy that we all didn't already know or could have made up ourselves, I'm not taking his word as gospel.
Navarrette and Botelho are guesses that actually make sense. Shipley as well to some degree. Outside of those guys nobody makes sense. If Sonic could drop a name that looks highly unlikely right now and it turns out to be true and actually happens, then I'd believe he's legit but it doesn't look like he's willing or able to do that.
There must be another moving piece to the puzzle.
Maybe McDonald is wavering and thinking he wants to stay closer to home. Or maybe they are looking at McDonald outside.
I have a new guess though: Tosh Baker.
Because fuck Notre Dame and we can always use MOAR BEEF. -

I would have been pissed off if he didn't end up here. Kid looks great and his dad was a beast. Fuck Pittsburgh for not using him to the best of his ability. Mark could have been one of the best TE in NFL history.AcropolisJr said:proof said:

Has Pete always been "camo pants Pete" but just never let it out until now?

How instrumental is Sam Huard in terms of recruiting?

Hi there:Penace said:How instrumental is Sam Huard in terms of recruiting?
dnc said:Sam Huard, great recruit or greatest recruit?
sonics1993 said:
Greatest because he's been huge in the recruiting trail as well. Combine that with his on field ability makes him the greatest. -
Aaah... wrong on purpose. Totally forgot about that guy. Always good for some belly laughs in the press boxAcropolisJr said:
Ballz prolly low key this dude...dnc said:
Using Ballz' favorite derogatory term against him in gif form.AcropolisJr said:
Sonics, who the fuck is this guy?sonics1993 said:
Do you honestly think I care what you think about me?Ballz said:
PM me the name then. Otherwise, you're full of shit.sonics1993 said:
Hell yeah. This school has no idea we are close to flipping himBallz said:
Really? It's that much of a covert operation? Has UW ever missed on a potential flip because it leaked out too early on the message boards?sonics1993 said:
Yes and alert the school who the recruit is committed to that he might flip. Genius ideaBallz said:
Then who? Prove you have sources.sonics1993 said:

When you wake up in the morning do you head to the SHOWER or the FRIDGE first?
Will dad fly?
Also, do you feel that following supple yet firm teenaged boys is a GOOD use of your free time?
