I honestly don’t disagreeMammaJamma said:
It’s one thing for TBSers to freak out when we? lose or drop a commit. They are fans. It’s a bad look sometimes but every fanbase has these types.RoadDawg55 said:
I never cared about the being first bullshit. This isn’t some government scandal being broke by CNN. It’s teen bois. HH members are beginning to look awfully normal.GreenRiverGatorz said:
No one reads your shit Ruth. You can claim you were first all you want, but no one is going to give a shit enough to fact check it.GrundleStiltzkin said:
Ruth is a member of the media and she is 1000 times worse than your average fan. She uses her access to information like she’s somehow superior to everyone else. When she goes off on one of her bat shit tirades, starts calling people names (I’m still pissed for how she went after Coker), baits Duck fans and their media, then blocks them all on twitter- it makes UW look FAR worse than some hardcore TBS bois that can easily be dismissed and ignored on social media. And all the people that kiss her ass and thank her for her information can fuck off. She’s an absolute embarrassment.
Vorel is a credible member of main stream media. He’s been doing a great job on the UW beat so far (he even covers recruiting!) For her to get all pissy about being “first” is so her. In his tweet, Vorel mentioned Biggins, which was obviously where he saw the Banks news. Get a grip Roof. -
Over on BDTW @sonics1993 says we dropped Banks cause Smalls committed and we still have Lohohea joining in this class with no one graduating. Makes sense I suppose but it still hurts that we are passing on him because we have Myles Rice and Ryan Bowman on the roster.

That is where I'm confused. In Roof's write up today she said they were always recruiting Banks to play outside.GrundleStiltzkin said:

ANY chance this whole thing is just so Smalls can have his time to shine this weekend and Banks not take any of that from him?

This screams that there was an experiment run with trying to move Banks to ILB, and it failed miserably. Oklahomo, Alabama, Ohio State, UW.... all of them backed off him as an ILB. They likely went back to thinking he was an edge guy, and with Lolohea coming back and Smalls committed, there was no more space for Banks.insinceredawg said:

Shit. We* need ILBs.

I think you nailed it. Now the question is, who's the better prospect between Banks and Lohohea? Lohohea is probably more physically mature since he's got a few years on Banks but he also hasn't played football since the 2016 season.DoogCourics said:insinceredawg said:Over on BDTW @sonics1993 says we dropped Banks cause Smalls committed and we still have Lohohea joining in this class with no one graduating.

Sad to see how far AIRWOLF has fallen.GrundleStiltzkin said: -
What obligation did UW have to Banks? He all had all winter, spring, and summer to commit, he choose not to and his spot got taken. Tell me what UW did wrong and what there obligation was to him?dnc said:

So are we to believe if Banks committed a month ago, and then Smalls committed today, it'd be ok, but in the opposite order it's not possible?
That doesn't seem just a bit silly to anyone else...? -
There's contingent that have a real personal interest in Banks and really don't like our current ILB commits, especially the kid from Texas. I can see a little of their point about the LA perception thing. However, booting a committed kid is way worse, that's a global perception issue, for lack of a better term. I'm sure Alabama or Clemson could get away with that, Washington can't. And shouldn't, in my opinion.sonics1993 said:

I think the implication is that since this visit has been set up for so long that we would atleast save a spot through this weekend. Obviously we don't know if the coaches pushed him to commit earlier, but we usually set guys up to commit on/right after the visit.sonics1993 said:

My whole thing is Banks was using as his back up option. We showed his major love in the winter and spring and recruited him all while Alabama slowed played him. Alabama tells him we want you at ILB but are unsure you can handle it so he loses a bunch of weight and trains all spring just to go to the Alabama camp to perform to the coaches to show them he can play ILB. Once Alabama keeps slow playing afterwards is when we jump out in front but let's be real we were his back up option and that's how he used us all spring and summer.

One they are different talent levels, Smalls could wait until February, Banks doesn't have that luxury. Banks was initially slow playing UW until late summer after he performed in front of the Alabama coaches and they weren't impressed enough to push for him. Then he scheduled his visit to UW for the USC game but by that time Smalls to UW was almost a done deal. He choose to wait to see if Alabama would take him and he now has to suffer the consequences.NoWarningJustDawg said:

Lolohea will be a mature ass freshman as well. Mentally, and more so physically. You think he isn't hitting weights in SLC right now? The fact he kept weight on / off on a mission is a miracle in and of itself.dnc said:

No, they would have made him wait but UW knew they were in great position with Smalls. I was told in July by a UW source Smalls is going to Washington, he's not going to wait until signing day and it's doubtful he takes any visits.bigcc said:

It's just an interesting dynamic when dealing with a guy who clearly doesn't yank spots from committed players. (Truly committed ones, not "commits" still going on visits.)sonics1993 said:

The end effect of accepting A after B but not B after A is that they clearly sometimes have remorse about a commit but will honor it anyway. Very curious how often that happens. And I'm not sure how well that attitude fits in today's cutthroat CFB world but I'll let it play out.
Thanks for the answer.

Thanks, interesting they knew for this long, would put a bit of ease on my mind if he didn't take any officials/any more unofficialssonics1993 said:

I'm with sonics. Now that it's come out we didn't want him at ILB it makes total sense and we never owed Jordan anything.
With that said something better happen at ILB cause our class there is not good enough right now -
We took 4 ILB last year, and have Fowler and Ulufoshio as walk-ons. We have no Sophomores or Juniors on the roster. Save the spots for next year which is loaded.dhdawg said:I'm with sonics. Now that it's come out we didn't want him at ILB it makes total sense and we never owed Jordan anything.

No way, Smalls was a take either way and would’ve pushed out a DB or WR we’ll still likely take.GrundleStiltzkin said:
