    This will be the third poly athlete that UW has lost because other schools are stalking their family members.

    4th if you include Toot Toot who was essentially committed to UW before signing with the Vols.

    You realize that the loser schools for the kids we sign have the same stories right?

    That was the dirtiest recruitment in awhile. WC kid ending up at middling Tennessee with USC/UW/Oregon/Bama/tOSU/Oklahoma offers…

    It's either dirty or not. What difference does the "level" of dirtiness make? Once you cross the threshold of paying the family, winners win.

    Not sure we've offered parents money or family members a path to citizenship.

    I'd be encouraged to hear a story of how UW pushed the limits of ethical recruitment (or at least was accused of such). I find it unlikely but not impossible. Got any you can share?

    Hold on now haie’s OP was just about influencing family members not paying them.

    Every recruitment that comes down to the wire has different parties in the camp favoring different schools. I’m sure ASU still complains about Byron Murphy and various schools complained about Puka.

    We just only remember the excuses for the ones we lose.
