I really like the commitment of Jones. Big, jumbo athlete who can really run. One of the reasons why I made the projection of him playing tight end in my Impact Report was because Derham Cato was actually the coach who made him the offer. The other reason is because I spoke with Sam Huard after he was able to throw routes with Jones when he was up for his visit and he said that Jones could be an incredible tight end.
However, it sounds like he's headed to the defensive side of the ball. This kid is a legit 6'5" and nearly 245 pounds right now. He's going to be an absolute beast once he gets into the program and learns some technique. He'll need some work on his technique and the nuances of playing the position, but he could be really, really good when it's all said and done. For anyone worrying about his lack of offers, a big reason why is because no one got to see him this spring. He'd have most of the Pac 12 by now if that was the case.
It isn't that UW is the only team that watches film, but they are the ones who decided to offer him because they see something in him that others don't or at least haven't up to this point. I am not sure he'll receive a lot of offers because he's pretty adamant about his decision to become a Husky, but make no mistake, this kid could wind up being special at the next level. It's all about development with him. -

Jimmy probably needs to mix some of the Erickson/Neuheisal model into his player acquisition.
I don’t see a Lawyer Malloy, Jeremiah Pharms or Corey Dillon on this roster and sometimes you need a middle linebacker who is willing to piss himself in anger in full sight of the QB lining up to take the snap.
Arrests are fine, as long as it isn’t one of the big 3, and even then, you’ve got a cleaner to sweep up the mess.
Or just keep rolling Rex Manu out there.

I mean, it worked better than leading the conference in magical blue chip ratio...thechatch said:Battle orst and cuog for diamond in the rough 3 star kids and then COACH EM UP!!!1!!11!!!!

We have the MLB. Ulo is one of the best we have ever had. Arrests in general can’t be hushed up like they used to. A lot of those guys from back in the day wouldn’t last with social media. A blurb in the Times is different than a bunch of people directly tweeting at the coach.thechatch said:

I miss off-season arrest reports.

Don't make comments without even watching the highlights. Pretty good odds these guys don't fit the diamond in the rough category when/if this recruiting cycle actually gets off the ground and schools have recent film and camps to evaluate.thechatch said:Battle orst and cuog for diamond in the rough 3 star kids and then COACH EM UP!!!1!!11!!!!

I like to use the word jumbo to describe people, it's what I like to do.

Either Jimmy has changed the Pete policy and is letting commits tweet out offers from others schools, or....

Did such a policy exist? I thought it was more just not visiting them.dnc said:Either Jimmy has changed the Pete policy and is letting commits tweet out offers from others schools, or....

It was a big deal when Jacob Sirmon announced other offers because it was a sign he wasn’t honoring Pete’s policy1to392831weretaken said:

It's a shit policy. Why wouldn't you want everyone to know your 3* diamonds are coveted commodities? As long as you can keep them from dropping you and committing elsewhere then what is the harm?

Someone must have told him we are full

That doesn’t give you the warm and fuzzy I’m still considering you vibe

Embarrassing

So essentially, thank you for giving me some press by taking my commitment so that I could grt courted by a school I actually want to go to.
I expect to hear soon that he is "working hard" on getting Germie Bernard to join the flock -
It's great we have gone back to being the placeholder commitment until a better more compelling offer comes along.
Congratulations Anthony Jones! We wish you the best of luck at Oregon and hopefully you can represent the Pac-12 North in a big title or bowl game in the near future! -
I dont really care about losing this guy, but what a truly embarrassing turn of events in the grand scheme of things. The ineptness of this recruiting staff is truly a thing of wonder

Holy fuck

Just a 3 star guy not going to lose sleep on this one.

Guess he won’t be a diamond in the rough for Jimmy....

In isolation who give a f but as a whole everything about this program is such a shitshow right now...its amazing how tone-deaf and incompetent the entire athletic department is.
