    It’s a mystery LB who may or may not visit. The UW coaches are trying. That sounds like a long shot to me.
    Yeah right now it's looking like a long shot. With last and this years class that's 8 LB's and he's getting scared off with the numbers especially after Smalls commitment. Never say never but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

    @sonics1993 Heimuli hurt, not ready, or both?

    Minor injury and I don't know if he's recovered but either way he's not ready.

    Still showing promise I hope.

    Yeah I got to agree but sadly I don't see him going anywhere but I hope i'm wrong.

    Oh yeah, you see the potential. It's really hard to contribute as a true freshman if you don't enroll early, that's why it's so impressive what Trent and Latu are doing but I guess that's why they were rated in the top 100.
    trent is freakishly strong

    The meltdown was a joke, I mean you would have thought we dropped a five star recruit the way these guys were acting. He's mainly playing ILB this year and from what I heard the tape isn't very good. Major questions about his speed and quickness which is why everyone dropped him. ASU is desperate so they will take him but with our numbers no way could we take him with the guys left on our board.
    Alabama dropping him is one thing. Oklahoma and those pretty bad defenses dropping him is a major red flag. I actually thought Banks looked pretty good in his film, but he’s a tweener who right now is best as a DT probably. He can’t be a DT in college. Is a slightly smaller Ryan Bowman comp far off?

    He is either going to be really good at ASU or he will be a guy that balled out in high school and didn't cut it in college

    Not only that, they both shot up in their ranking history their last two years in high school. I’ve found that how you can differentiate a lot of the four star players. I’ve gotten a little into TBS lately and have noticed that some guys are trending up who rise every time a recurring analyst sees them and some fall. Both Latu and McDuffie were constant risers.

    We were never going to offer Merlin. He had major red flags coming out of high school which is why ASU was the only school to take him. I know he had a great season last year as a true freshmen but since then he has been suspended twice and has looked out of shape and slow this year. He would have never worked out with our culture.
    What’s the point of having a strong culture if we can’t wield it to get buy in from talented kids from tough backgrounds or questionable makeup?

    Any fucking coach can succeed with 85 BBKs or Nick Harrises.

    A great college coach can get an Aaron Hernandez or Vontaze Burfict pulling in the right direction for the team. And that would make all the difference.

    How badly do we want to get to the next level? Are we comfortable with winning the conference most years and losing NY6 bowls? Or do we want to beat Bama?

    honestly, i think some of these kids like merlin could benefit from the culture that pete has developed. some of these kiids come really bad backgrounds. just to rule them out because some might has some trouble is dismissive. not saying we should load up on those kids. but selectively give 1 or 2 a chance.

    That’s pretty simplistic, but okay.

    They can also ruin your culture. Right now this roster is filled with hard working players with no diva tendency. You know how many coaches would kill for this type of roster?

    That's never going to be Washington's culture. If that's what you want go follow a SEC team because Washington will never be a win at all cost type of program and Pete is on record saying that.
