    - let it go people, if he goes anywhere in the pac12 it's either the arizona schools, wsu or osu, probably osu ... maybe colorado/utah or ucla (just throwing that out there)

    He is an academic all american.
    Who already has his degree. If he doesn’t come here it won’t be for academics, it will be the coaches either couldn’t or wouldn’t find space for him.
    He got his degree in 2 years?

    I know I’ll hear “did they master hanging up the gas pump right” but both Jevon Holland and Verone McKinley graduated from Oregon in the spring. Holland was a true sophomore and McKinley a redshirt freshman.

    Since they’re in Eugene for most of the summer taking a bunch of classes during the summer sessions is the key. Oregon also spends nearly $2 million a year on tutoring for the athletic department in their $40 million, athletes only, architectural award winning glass cube.

    Anytime I hear a football player at a big school fucked up their grades I don’t understand how it’s even possible. My girlfriend worked as a tutor there and you had to be both dumb and chronically absent to fuck it up.
    Even a dummy has to actively try to fail with all those resources. You know a good portion of professor's are willing to give C's for showing up and giving even a little effort, especially in this pc world.
    C’s get degrees. And keep eligibilitieees.

    This 146 word essay on Rosa Parks got an A- at UNC, one of the top public schools in the country:

    On the evening of December Rosa Parks decided that she was going to sit in the white people section on the bus in Montgomery, Alabama. During this time blacks had to give up there seats to whites when more whites got on the bus. Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. Her and the bus driver began to talk and the conversation went like this. “Let me have those front seats” said the driver. She didn’t get up and told the driver that she was tired of giving her seat to white people. “I’m going to have you arrested,” said the driver. “You may do that,” Rosa Parks responded. Two white policemen came in and Rosa Parks asked them “why do you all push us around?” The police officer replied and said “I don’t know, but the law is the law and you’re under arrest.
    Maybe it was being graded on proper use of quotation marks?

    Hes a take I saw a highlight reel of his where he was blitzing and had a small hint on Jamal Adams in him. He just needs the coaching to get there. He plays at full speed while the rest of our defense outside of E3, MCduff, and Eddy play at half speed. We could use him on top

    Per Ektard

    247's Greg Biggins posted on the board last week that Jaiden Woodbey is set to transfer from Florida State and the Huskies, if they are interested, would be on his short list of top schools. The Huskies were one of the schools in the middle of his recruitment for quite some time, but he was a kid who loved the thought of the bright lights in other parts of the country and he didn't really give them much of a look after he started to go national.

    Fast forward to now and he's looking to get back west and he'd like to talk to Washington.

    From talking to people, it sounds like Washington will at least give him a look and kick the tires, but there's a lot that goes into it other than him being a good football player.

    1) Has he maxed out his potential? (there's a number of reasons guys leave schools and one of them is because the coaches who signed him realize he isn't as good as they thought he was or that he has room to grow as a player)

    2) How are his grades/credits? (it's very hard to transfer to UW and this definitely will play into him being a serious target for them)

    3) What do the numbers look like? (I know there's a loud and vocal group that says 'you take the best guys, the numbers will work out' and normally I would agree with that sentiment for the most part, but with the way that eligiblity is being adjusted for this season, a lot depends on who wants to come back and making sure their numbers aren't out of whack)

    From talking to different people, I think the Huskies will definitely be interested and will start to go through the process with him, but it's going to be a long process to figure out what happens with him.
