    A.Jr...did Lake put the hard sell on covington knowing Jackson will likely pop, that we might not have a spot for him come October, or would they take his commitment regardless?

    It’s looking like it may have just turned into first come first serve. Trying to find out the one other scenario of Esteen and Jackson committing together. If it’s not that. I think they hold a spot for Hector.
    Grazi. Part of me wonders if the coaches somehow got covington to pop before Jackson so they could hold off on taking Jackson's commit under the guise of spots filling up. And therefore hoping hector/esteen speed up their timeline.

    Hell, the coaches could love Jackson for all I know. The timing of it all and fact covington is rated higher just seem like too much to be a coincidence...

    Covington thought to be a dawg lean announces he's waiting till October. Cue yesterday and Jackson will now be committing tomorrow and likely favors UW. Covington says just kidding and commits before Jackson can. Shortly thereafter Jackson also says just kidding, and he's holding off.

    Purely reading between the lines, that or a similar scenario just make too much sense in this context. Running low on spots and maybe they'd been assuming Hector would be on board before the season starts.

    Thank you! for taking questions ... I just wanna know this one thing:

    In your opinion ... Do ka-razy fansites like HH make an appreciable negative or positive difference in recruiting in the minds/eyes of recruits? Their families? Their coaches?

    Especially in this day and age of twitter/IG ...

    Or are we just a bunch of internet nutjobs that really are only on the periphery of recruiting?

    (sub question: do you find Ruth attractive in a homely librarian/social worker kind of way? - thanks, and i'll take your answer off the air lol ...)

    Yes this site hurts recruiting and is a pain for the coaches to deal with. A lot of family members visit this site.
    This site in particular or do the mainstream ones also hurt recruiting as well?

    Is it the same for all top tier programs or just unique to UW?

    Do you know or have heard coaches ever say that they lost a kid b/c of a recruiting site?

    okay, here's the other hot topic:

    do you think the effort to recruit Texas is worth it?

    or a waste of time?

    Or not just yet? (like win a big game against a big opponent first to gain legitimacy ...)

    Worth it. Recruiting it mostly texting and face time so it doesn't take up a lot of resources. UW is getting very aggressive in Texas as you can see right now.
    Then should and will the coaches be doing the same in other high D1 prospect states? Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana?

    Do coaches know you are on message boards?

    If not, would they care, and how easy would it be for them to narrow it down it was you if they wanted to figure out who the mole was?

    Shit, I got all kinds of questions. Clark Phillips: did he just not have interest, or we cool on him because of lack of size?

    Why did we offer Carson Bruener all of a sudden? Was it missing on Herbig and Bothelo and others, or did we really just happen to complete our eval of him and decide he was good enough?

    Why did Justin Flowe not even give us the time of day? How did Bothelo go from (reported) UW lean to never even visiting or letting the season play out? Did ND just give him an ultimatum or was his interest in the UW never really that high?

    How can our TE recruiting be so poor after we put Dissly and Sample into the NFL, with Bryant looking like R2 prospect at worst? Why are offering Plan G guys after missing Navarette, Yurosek, Taylor, Smith, et al? What is Paopao doing, sending guys dick pics? This seems like the easiest sell in the building, yet we are struggling. Why?

    Damian Sellers: he didn't like us, or we didn't like him?

    No answers?

    Ali Gaye? Jordan Lolohea? What’s the real-world likelihood either of these guys boomerangs back?

    I'm guessing that Peter Latu is the recruit that is committed elsewhere that has an under the table offer

    Great guess. I went with Clark Phillips or Jordan Berry.

    I was parroting @sonics1993 and @AcropolisJr. Turns out they're only right 81% of the time.
