That Banks interview was straight GOLD. Gotta get that kid in the boat ASAP. It’s a partnership.

I do this quite frequently. Fade in and out of reality, drunk and napping on the couch grinding food crumbs between the cushionsSwaye said:

It takes a certain level of being awesome to recruit for your class
But it takes SERIOUS big dick energy to recruit players of the same position
This kids going to be a fucking beast -

the reality is Jood is crawling Twitter non-stop looking for clues that more guys are going to Oregon's Saturday Night Live event and has another tab alerting him to updates on eDuck and a list of @RachaelDoyleDawg's follows...he's a fucking Duck who had no business faking his way as a Husky beat writer.Swaye said:

He used the gig as an opportunity to move back home. That's pretty much it.Meek said:

There’s a hashtag pinned to the top of Jalen McMillan’s profile page on Twitter.
Actually, scratch that. It’s not a hashtag. It’s not a marketing gimmick. It’s a movement.
And it was conceived at the four-star Washington football commit’s dinner table during a conversation with his dad.
“My dad comes and says, ‘You should make your own hashtag,’” McMillan told The Times on Monday. “I was like, ‘What do you mean?’ And he said, ‘Something to go by when you recruit on Twitter.’
“It just popped in my head. #CALIREIGN. #PURPLEREIGN. I was like, ‘Yeah, let’s see if it works.’”
News flash: it works. McMillan — the No. 4 wide receiver and No. 31 overall prospect in the 2020 class, according to 247Sports — tweeted the hashtag for the first time on July 2, exactly a week after the Fresno, Calif., native verbally committed to UW. He tagged six Husky targets from the state of California — wide receivers Logan Loya, LV Bunkley Shelton and Troy Franklin, center Myles Murao, outside linebacker Jordan Banks and defensive back Makell Esteen — on the message as well.
Besides the hashtag, he added an eyeball emoji and two words — an open invitation.
Who’s next?
The answer was ultimately Murao — 247Sports’ No. 2 center and No. 77 overall recruit in 2020 — who pledged to UW on the Fourth of July.
But according to a mysterious McMillan, #CALIREIGN hasn’t finished reeling in fish.
“It’s going to be really cool to watch this next week,” he said, teasing another imminent commitment.
In the nine days since he first tweeted it, #CALIREIGN has started rolling — gaining traction with both recruits and fans on social media.
“Yeah, I’m fricken surprised about it,” McMillan said with a laugh, of the hashtag’s sudden surge in social media popularity.
“I’m definitely going to bring a lot of guys, especially from Cali,” said McMillan, who added that he is completely committed to UW and has ceased communications with all outside coaching staffs.
“I feel like if we get the right dudes we will be competing for a national championship in the next coming years. So yeah, I’m definitely going to be recruiting.”
