    Imagine all the people Sam Adams Sr wanted to talk trash to on twitter but hasn’t, and then what would it take to cross over that line.

    Exactly

    I tend to think Sr knows something about what he is talking about with respect to this football thing

    Is UW hanging around still? Or, can I officially make up reasons why he sucks?

    Practice your WDWHA’s now.

    We are out of it.

    Others disagree.

    I’d rename 4 kids Smalls to make this happen.

    Smalls loves the Dawgs and has issues with a couple of guys. It’s not over for him unless the staff has made that declaration. As far as I know that hasn’t happened as of yet.

    A couple of guys as in a few players on the team?

    That shit needs to be nipped immediately.

    It's not like we've got a bunch of prima donna assholes on the UW team ... that's not very OKG

    The pursuit needs to be relentless.

    Source for 3/4? That’s pretty fucking telling if any of it holds weight.

    I’m not going to WDWHA the kid but if that’s truth we’re going to need a locally produced 30 for 30 explaining what the fuck really happened.

    I might be reaching but if Smalls goes else where, will happen, and we get the #1 fucking player in America the next year, then you know the smoke was truly a fire.

    I always thought the Oregon negative recruiting thing was overblown and felt it seemed more likely that Savell had/has beef with some UW players. The way he out of the blue "called a press conference" to make it known that he would not be including UW in his top 6 seemed more of a "get back" at someone. Then of course, he takes a long break from social media, quits his 7 on7 team, and comes back to social media to get into it with another players dad, it's just weird and suggests hes going through some shit. I dont think he ever even released his much publicized top 6. A few things I've seen posted various places do paint an interesting picture
    1- his junior year performance at Garfield was not to the level many expected.
    2- Hes an amazing talent but it has been suggested on some 247 sites that he is overrated. Not saying he sucks but he hasn't reached the level people thought he would when he was a 5* 8th grader.
    3- he tried to transfer to Eastside Catholic and they wouldn't take him.
    4- Kenedy was reluctant to take him but ultimately had a meeting and decided that he could transfer because he went there as a freshman.

    Anyways, whether or not all this is 100% true, it's being talked about out there. That stuff can fuck with a kid's mind.

    I think UW can get back into it if Pete reaches out to him, and he responds. Not sure if either of those things are likely to happen.
    There's nothing to this story that makes sense at all ...

    I think he's always felt like he wanted to go play "big boy football" and wanted to leave the area ...

    But then he bought into all the love that #HometownHero was and realized he backed himself into the corner and lashed out ...

    At best right now, he's coming off as extremely flaky and players on the UW team have called him on it (notably upperclassmen) ...

    My biggest fear with Smalls at this point is that he's going to turn out to be more of a hype than reality player. It seems like he's bought into his press clippings at this point and there's just too much smoke right now that is throwing off red flags.

    I understand why he's such a major recruit for UW to go get in this class ... but at the same time, I'm not entirely sure that I'm going to lose too much sleep if he decides to head somewhere to the South.

    What will be really interesting to me is where he ends up if not UW. If it's Alabama/Clemson then that is all about the "big boy football." If it's a Florida/Tennessee level school then you're looking at "wanting to play big boy football but the big boys didn't want him." If he ends up at Florida St then LOL and I'd be buying stock in the bust potential. And if at Oregon, then whatever.

    Neighbors and teq’s last comments have be thinking.

    Kid might be a diva, a headcase but i believe the talent is there.

    Some Next level recruits are like this.

    Pete needs to adjust slightly and make this work as he prepares for the next level elite guys to call udub home.

    It was posted on dawgman and a couple other places so it could be bullshit, but it was out there. As to why, I dont think it has anything to do with him as a person but more the fact that some high schools dont typically take senior transfers for certain athletics. You're essentially telling a kid who has worked his ass off for 3 years at a position that he's not gonna be starting his senior year because a new kid is transferring in. It can create a locker room situation and a circus the coaches dont necessarily want. EC is likely winning state with or without him.
