From @Baseman’s account, how is no one giving props to Kwat?
He did it, he actually did it: He recruited an elite dude, peas and carrots and all! -
I don’t know why you guys give so much credit/blame on assistants. Smalls isn’t coming to UW because of Kwat.Beno4Life said:From @Baseman’s account, how is no one giving props to Kwat?

If we're going based on assisstants/position coaches, he also beat out ND and Oregon for Trice and Bama/everybody for Latu last yearBeno4Life said:From @Baseman’s account, how is no one giving props to Kwat?

I wasn’t talking about a “who had it first”, sorry if it came off that way. Your info was correct and you nailed the summary, I just wanted to insert the Joey Thomas info because I think he gets a bad wrap thanks to dawgman. Sorry if it came off aggressive, that wasn’t my intention at all.Baseman said:
You were 1st, congrats. Feel free to share your information here more regularly. I thought you had left so I let these guys know what I'd heard. Sorry if you felt I stepped on your toes. Won't happen againsonics1993 said:
I know the garfield coach that was in Smalls head and it wasn't Thomas. That garfield coach along with a certain family member of Harrison were running there mouth about UW. As far as how I get this info, it's easy I have sources both within the UW program and high school ranks. That's how I knew about Smalls eliminating UW before anybody and that's how I knew Smalls apologized to UW before anybody. Ask BTP, I told him back in July that Smalls called UW after running into them, apologized and wanted back in.Baseman said:
Clearly, you've proven you know a lot of the inner happenings of the recruiting office, I find it strange, though, that you know each side of the conversations between the coaches and Smalls, Smalls and Thomas, opposing coaches and Smalls, and opposing coaches and Thomas. Who said what, and when.sonics1993 said:
He told him to review his options which is what he should say, he didn't tell him to go a certain school and he didn't bad mouth Washington and tell him not to go there.Baseman said:
Joey did meet with the staff and probably told Smalls he'd support him if he picked UW. I also know he frowned on the OKG label, described it as elitist, and encouraged Smalls to take a hard look at FSU and I didn't get it from Dawgmansonics1993 said:
Joey Thomas was supportive of Smalls if he wanted to go to UW and it some false rumor that the dawgman staff spreads. Joey was just on UW campus talking with the coaches this past spring.animate said:
oooh, interesting!sonics1993 said:Joey Thomas and UW have a good relationship. Don't understand where this narrative is coming from.
so, was Joey Thomas supportive or not?
Is this just an easy narrative to blame someone then?
I heard different about Thomas. It may be wrong. I don't think so. I don't care. I don't get paid for this and have better things to do then debate TBS stories.
I made the mistake of dropping something earlier today followed by messages from upset TBS folks who claimed they had it first, last night, last week, two months ago. Cool. -

My point was simply that the Smalls news today has been trending this way for a while ... this shouldn’t be a surprise.
As for the comment of “wanting to be noticed” that’s funny ... I don’t claim to be a recruiting expert in any way, shape, or form ... I have far bigger things going on in life right now to even consider thinking in those terms
The idea of Smalls waiting until closer to the first Signing Day always seemed like the most logical ... happy it’s done with early
JFC @Tequilla. Have you no self-awareness? Nothing worse than a know it all narcissicist blowhard.
You ruin the TSIO pod. Dennis, Coker and Wilbur should be the lineup. They are worth a listen.
You contribute nothing here or on the Pod but more autism awareness donations. Killer strength coach imitation tho 👍🏽👍🏽
Make like @HeretoBeatmyChest and beat it already. At least he can contribute (or carry?) his pod.

Not trying to take away from my buddy Baseman who has some really good nuggets here ... but the tea leaves for Smalls were out there for a whileGrundleStiltzkin said:Not going to find this on bd2w
I had also heard from someone inside the program that the feeling was that Smalls was in the bag -
Now, now. Teq contributes, differently then Dennis and Coker, sure. I'd miss him if he left.MisterEm said:

Practice, and aim more carefully. Perhaps you're leading him too much? He's not in his 20's anymore.Baseman said:
