Eklund said he doesn't expect in-state 4* CB Caleb Pressley to visit UW at all. He was supposedly there this week but it was "not a football-related visit". A couple months ago he was seen as a pretty big UW lean and now they can't even get him to spend the weekend there and get a free $300 dinner. Pretty pathetic.
I'm seeing 3 possibilities here with this staff 1- they simply aren't concerned with recruiting because they arrogantly think that they can coach anyone up and think kids should be coming to them 2) DeBoer is already regretting taking the UW job/ frustrated with NIL disadvantage and is not putting any extra effort into recruiting 3) this staff actually has done their due diligence and thinks some of these low ranked guys are just as good or better than the high-ranked FSP guys.
Holy shit, it's all legal and in the open now and we STILL can't accept that the correct answer is
4.) DeBoner is working his ass off, cares a lot, and he and the staff are doing all they can, but they can't even get kids to answer the phone anymore after they ask what the cash offer is and DeBoner tells them the truth.
Good news is we actually got a decent player. Bad news is this is just more ammo for the doogs to use for alleviation of their cognitive dissonance when recruiting inevitably is still shit going forward
I was told by @godawgst that the program is dead and we're going to be fighting over Idaho St's scraps.
One verbal doesn’t make a class
It does in Haie's and Doogman's world.
Fun little pen to paper exercise might be for Haie to tell us of all the commits (and transfers) since KB got here, how many he thinks move the needle and you win a Conf. Champ with
I dont like that he was reportedly heading to Utah but they dropped him. I also don't like that he looks like Lena Dunham
A lot of the rumor stuff is bullshit. I actually feel pretty good about the OL recruiting because there is a 3 star from Washington that Oklahoma is going after hard and we don’t want him. Makes me believe we have some guys that the coaches like better.
I’ve always said, there are only so many guys that are truly beasts and Uber talented. Evaluation matters a lot. I know some say Pete’s first class was luck, but it was probably the best class he got. When we leveled up, we wouldn’t have been interested in a lot of guys that were great players.

Could be that different offenses prioritize different types of OL. I think to Mike Leach and the OL he recruited for the Air Raid were different than what Pete ran. Leach's OL had wide splits and had to control an island whereas Pete would want OG that could pull and lead a RB. IDK who this kid is but there are always things like that.
But if UW lands Hatchett and another OL that they've offered this spring, then I'd be content. They only have 4 OVs from OL so far so 3 of those 4 would be a good class.

Instead, some low ranked o lineman is visiting
No clue. Don’t care enough to figure it out. Unless it’s a NTD, BB 5 star.
Turns out it wasn’t JTT transferring.
I’d love to see a successful class
Woof woof woof!
GOOOOOOOOOO!!!11!!
Better go cry to coker about it, if he can be dragged away from the Jan 6 hearings.

Interesting he decommitted from A&M since NIL they have blown up (aka paid up) in pulling high high end recruits.
Wonder if their/his commitment was subject to change depending on who else they could sign?
