    ASU not looking so hot anymore, funny how recruiting works.

    The week to week stuff isn’t as important as some think.

    It’s pretty easy for UW to sell being one to two players away from turning those close losses into wins. Obviously winning is most important, but there are all sorts of ways to spin things to paint yourself in a better light to recruits.
    One of the main reasons he decommitted was because ASU was 5-1 and herm had things turned around. Two weeks later they are 5-3 and there defense looks terrible.
    @sonics1993 does this mean UW is still in it/pursuing him now that Herm has dropped two (and is likely not favored in the majority of their remaining games)?

    Or does Jimmy/Pete cut him loose for taking visits while committed?
    Still in contact but giving him his space like they did with Smalls. Jacobe already knows what UW offers and they are letting him look around to see what program fits him the best.
    I thought you referenced it as a grades issue?

    maybe Smalls needs to talk to him and just let him know how the process went for him.

    Never said that, that was dawgman who reference his grades not me. I said he was having second thoughts when dawgman and Ruth was saying he was solid and said ASU was a real threat. ASU is still a real threat because they got mom on there side.

    Do you know why other recruiting sites are so wrong all the time?

    What am I missing? On October 17 I believe you said Pete made an exception on him because of grades. Was posted on here. I'm confused.

    Sonics said CP and Lake made an exception and took a commitment where they usually would not (because of grades.)

    But then he burned them anyway.

    The grades part only referred to the initial screening not as to why he decomitted.
    The logical reasoning and comprehension is skrong with this one.

    This Sonics guy needs some help mastering they’re, there and their. I think he’s literally 0 for 20 in this thread. Will he ever guess correctly?
