Short drive to Atlanta and from there about a 6-7 hour flight to Frankfurt.Bread said:Bama is closer to Germany. So it makes sense.
I trust @Logistics will confirm my info. -
Atlanta to Frankfurt is 8 hours 45 minutes whereas Seattle is 10 hours 30 minutes. Given the drive from almost 3 hours from Bama to Atlanta while the Link Light Rail is 45 minutes from UW to SeaTac, UW is 30 minutes closer to Frankfurt than Bama.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:

I’ll take your word for it but I’m kinda skeptical until @Logistics confirms your math.whatshouldicareabout said:

The Mercator projection would make you think that ATL is a lot closer to Germany than Seattle but it’s not really like that. Round earth shitCFetters_Nacho_Lover said:

@whatshouldicareabout is technically correct. But, as we have learned in the recent past, Tuscaloosa is closer to a lot of places than Seattle when it comes to recruiting. Ale Kaho can attest to that.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:

What got poofed here?dnc said: -
Washington got some great news a couple of weeks ago when East (Salt Lake City, Ut.) DL Ben Roberts made the decision to commit to them. Even with a room loaded with talent, the Huskies are not resting on their laurels and they have honed in on Santa Margarita (Ca.) Catholic's Hero Kanu, an explosive athlete who is one of the top prospects in the country at his position, and recently made it onto his list of top nine schools.
"Washington has been the school on me since the beginning and I really like them a lot," Kanu said after announcing his top schools on Twitter recently. "They were the first school to offer me after I got the the states and I've built a strong relationship with coach 'Rip' (Rowan) and coach (Jimmy) Lake. We talk like three or four times a week, so it's a really good relationship and we talk about everything -- football, life, my family -- so it's really comfortable.
"I want to get up there so bad and to see what it is like up there for myself. Maurice (Heims) says it's amazing and that I need to get up there too, so that's something we've talked about. I'm planning on going up there for a game, but we're still trying to figure out which one and when I can fit it into my schedule."
Kanu is currently in Germany visiting his family, so he's kind of taking a break from the recruiting aspect of things, but said he works out every day in preparations for what will be his senior season of high school football.
"It's going to be a blast to get out there and hit guys," Kanu said with a chuckle. "I'm so excited to get out on the field. I'll be back in the next couple of weeks to start working with my team and then we'll go out and ball-out. That's what I love to do. I just love hitting guys and I've learned a lot over the past year about what the expectations are of me and what we are hoping to do as a team."
Kanu's journey is much like Heims'. Both hail from Germany and took advantage of the PPIRecruits program's connections to wind up with the Eagles. Both have outstanding athleticism for their size and both garnered a lot of attention before they ever set foot on a varsity football field.
Back in March, Kanu took the field and dominated up front, finishing with 32 tackles, 10 tackles-for-loss and 2.5 sacks while helping to lead Santa Margarita Catholic to a 3-3 record.
Kanu and the other top international prospects from around the country went on a "DreamChaser's" tour of schools this summer, visiting Georgia, Alabama, Clemson, Florida State, Tennessee, Ohio State, Michigan, Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, TCU and LSU among other schools.
At 6'5" and weighing in at just over 290 pounds, Kanu has garnered an early ranking as the 13th-best defensive tackle in the country and he is currently rated as a four-star with a 0.9645 rating in the industry-generated 247Composite
HEAD COACH Jimmy doing some recruiting? Staff!! True??? -
