Ektard teasing another portal #woof

insinceredawg

I'm not going to go in-depth on the new guy UW is pursuit of, but it sounds like the Huskies are in the running for another former high-level recruit. They were in the mix early with this kid when he was in high school, but he opted to stay in his region.

I'm not going to mention a name just yet because I haven't gotten approval to do so, but I will say it's at a position I didn't consider being a "need".

If/when his name pops up, I will be happy to share it on here, but just know that he Huskies are definitely continuing to scour the portal and are looking for talented kids they can bring into their program.

I went through the 2018-2020 offers to 4/5* prospects outside of the western footprint and checked which ones are currently in the portal. The only ones that came up are these 2 RBs from Texas who I don't recall much about. RB would fit the description of a position that is not lacking in numbers.

Could also be Gaoteote as Kim and Eklund keep saying we are "stacked" at ILB, so not a position of need

He’s been working out with Bookie. KB and Ikakia followed him on socials recently.

This is who I I immediately thought it was when reading it. Ohio St. really went after him hard and the thought was he was gonna commit. He opted to stay in the west. I would take this kid in a heartbeat.

Ah, this would make sense. I interpreted Ektard's comment about him staying in his region as him being from outside of the west but I guess SoCal fits too.

He entered the portal on Dec 8th. Maybe he wants to finish his degree and then transfer?

I know, hard to believe

No doubt it. Ikakia and KB followed him this week. I’ve been stalking his twitter followers for the past 2 months.

No. They’re not letting him recruit much anymore.

100%. He’s in Vegas rn in the middle of USC winter workouts

haie

I mean, if our supposed good trait is that we develop people and have a record of doing so then this is a very good sign if our staff has gotten 3 transfers, one of which whom we originally wanted badly (Martin), the other two we would have taken, plus a now disgruntled SC player.

If we're supplementing "okay" classes with this, where the player committed elsewhere found their staff was shit and will commit to our system, then we aren't doing so poorly and again, we need to let the results speak for themselves on the field.

Again, LIFPO with Jimmy. The guys we've gotten it's clear the message has been "you fit here, you lacked coaching which we'll provide, and you will contribute here."
