they're not allowed to be wrong... if they're wrong, it's back to the minor leagues...whatever the fuck that means. It's not like they reduce the monthly fee or anything.GrundleStiltzkin said:

The Huskies and Smalls have been talking pretty regularly for nearly two full months.
Right after he went public with his decision to leave the Huskies out of his top eight, things cooled down. The coaches gave the kid some time to think about his decision and didn't pressure him.
After some of the local fallout and the way the fans reacted (the more constructive criticisms obviously), it got him thinking.
His parents have always been in Washington's corner. The fact that he's a local kid and he knows a lot of the local high school stud athletes as well as players like Myles Gaskin and Nate Kalepo, two players who opted to be Dawgs and who are very well-connected with the football community also has helped Washington's cause.
The coaches not pursuing him surprised him a bit. I think he expected them to come after him that much harder, but when they slow-played it and seemed to move in a different direction, that was pretty influential also.
He just released his top six and Washington, along with Alabama, Florida State, Tennessee, Oregon and Washington State, were the schools he chose.
Some are surprised that Florida and Clemson aren't on the list, but things have been trending down for Florida and I am not so sure that Clemson will have a need for a guy like Smalls.
Look, he's a great athlete and he has the chance to be a great player once he gets to college. Like most kids his age, his eyes got very big and he was enamored with the bright lights of "big time football in the SEC" or anywhere outside of the Pac 12 honestly. But as he's gone through this process, like most kids, Smalls has grown wiser and things that weren't as important to him have become more important to him.
Now, I am not saying he will ultimately choose Washington. I do, however, believe that if he wants to maximize his talents, Washington is definitely the best place for him.
At Alabama, he's just another guy to them. They have some really talented edge guys who are just as talented as Smalls, while FSU, with Willie Taggart, will not come close to developing him like he'll need once he gets to college.
I don't see him heading to Tennessee, but that one's an interesting school to keep an eye on. With the way they've been recruiting and the staff there, they could be a the darkhorse for his services.
I don't see him going to Pullman, so I think keeping WSU in there basically just was a nod to the Cougars and the faithful who follow them.
Oregon could be a real player for him, but I think that they reside behind Washington right now.
Getting Smalls away from the influence of Joey Thomas, who has been a negative influence on his life (and not just because of his axe to grind against the Huskies), has been big. So has his building relationship with Sam Huard and a coach like Sheldon Cross who loves the Husky football staff and program (he's got ties to WSU as well).
Smalls is a smart kid and is a good kid. His immaturity has shown through a couple of times and I have pointed that out on the board, but there has been no reason to go overboard and say he's "not OKG" or "good riddance". A player like Smalls committing to UW would have incredible repurcussions for the Huskies down the road. His talent not withstanding, his status in local recruiting circles is immense and he knows a lot of kids.
If he chose Washington, regardless of how he developed or contributed as a player, it would definitely help the staff bring in a lot of the local studs that are in other classes.
This one is a ways away from wrapping up, but Washington appears to be in great shape heading into the season and I expect they will be in this one until the end.

I've heard people only point out the times they're wrong. Now I'm hearing they're never wrong.

Ektard pulled the jag line. 🤣
Then he called Joey Thomas out. 🤣
This will play out well on twitter, I’m sure of it. -

I honestly thought Pete would be stubborn and tell Smalls to fuck off. I’m glad I’m an idiot and that’s not true. Still awfully warm for February, so I’ll LIPO.

I feel like he just read our shit, saw what Sonics poasted, and then went to BDTW. With all his @sources in order, he was ready to release this beautiful piece. -
Let's be brutally honest - two years of getting handies and hummers from daddy issue Cuog girls ain't a bad way to spend one's time before declaring for the draft....

Everything he said is accurate but literally none of it is new information or anything that Smalls told Ecklund. That said, Ecklund knows all of this and is just fooling the fucktards that subscribe to Dawgman -

What is he saying?bananasnblondes said:Kevin Wade of educk is super salty about UW being back in it for Savell
Wade:jhfstyle24 said:
My gut feeling is that if anyone tells you they know where Sav'ell is forsure going, they're lying.
This recruitment has had a lot of turns and twists and there’s still a lot to be settled. Kinda funny seeing how the UW media basically wrote off Savell as not an OKG but they’re happy to see UW in his top six now.
I’ll have more in the inside read but Ducks doing everything they can here (You mean like telling the kid UW is elitist and doesn’t like black kids?)
When the inside read comes out, I’ll make sure you guys know what’s inside the read.
Inside Read is out and I am a man of my word.
Wade:
On Sunday, five-star linebacker Sav’ell Smalls posted his top six of Alabama, Florida State, Oregon, Tennessee, Washington, and Washington State. It was a pretty big surprise to see Washington back on his list after he publicly eliminated them back in the spring (the week after visiting Oregon) but talking to some people, he circled back with the Huskies recently and is giving the hometown team another shot. What’s surprising is that he eliminated Texas A&M, a team even Save’ll has told reporters would get an official visit just week ago were eliminated.
As of right now, I’d expect FSU and Tennessee to be locks for official visits due to their distance and that likely means that one of the PNW schools will be the odd man out in getting an official visit.
It’ll be interesting to see how this recruitment plays out but as of right now the Ducks are in good shape but I wouldn’t say they are in great shape. For Oregon, I think how the defense performs is going to be critical to what Sav’ell sees in the Ducks. The usage of Kayvon Thibodeaux, DJ Johnson and even Mase Funa will give Smalls a lot knowledge on how he’ll potentially be used at Oregon.
This recruitment is going to go all the way until February and is nowhere near close to finished right now. -

to Alabama fans, Smalls is a JAG. They got a Smalls last year, they'll get a Smalls next year. To Washington, Sav'ell is a program changing recruit. Easy choice IMO

Alabama fans - "yeah, we'd like you to come here but ... No "biggie" because we are on other guys like you. (interpretation - you are a Jag)
Washington fans - "sav'ell is the most important recruit in Washington history. We're on the verge of duplicating Clemson's success on the west coast and he's the exclamation mark of a program changing class"

Do Kennedy and Eastside play each other? If so, will they allow outside coffee cups, or you have to use theirs?

I heard from one of My Plateau Guys™ that EC's AD was a bit of a mess. He wouldn't say what exactly, but I took it as parent/factional issues. I think there's enough inertia behind the football program now that they'll push through whatever's going on. They haven't been high-level good for that long though. -
Is there a story behind the rapid ascent of EC? Did Skyline and Bellevue just get eaten up?GrundleStiltzkin said:

I don't know all of it. The school used to be in the Newport Hills area, and they didn't have their own field. EC might have played in the Metro in the opposite division from O'Dea, or in whatever league Hazen and those crappy teams were in. Anyhow, they'd have a decent regular season most years preying on bad competition and then get the shit kicked out of them in first round of playoffs, like clockwork. Ten or 15 years ago, the school relocated to the Sammammish area, and after that is when they started to get serious with recruiting and whatnot. They've been cherrypicking boys and girls lacrosse players for longer than football too.Emoterman said:

Gesser was their coach for a season or two before he took the assgrab-n-radiogab job at Wazzu. Theilbar may have taken over from Gesser. Wellington's group was part of the ascension from good to great. -
