Angulo caught up with him at a Vegas 7v7:– Emeka Egbuka, the nation's No. 1-rated wide receiver per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite rankings, has started to mull over possible visit destinations for the spring once the quiet period re-opens next month, with the likes of Clemson, Ohio State, Oklahoma and Oregon all in the picture. The talented wideout from Steilacoom, Wash., tells 247Sports he also hopes to make a local stop by Washington at some point, but likely won't use an official visit on the nearby suitor. I think this will be Jimmy’s biggest test this cycle. God speed.
this kid is pushing us away very early.
The Donovan effect. We have not gotten a single commit on offense since that hire and '21 kids are already showing declining interest. Now ask yourself why.

We’ve only got 1 commit at all since that hire. Between December and February last year we had 0 commits. Egbuka leaning elsewhere at this current moment has nothing to do with Donovan. More issues than just him.

More issues than just him. I do think the Donovan hire will make offensive recruits take more of a wait and see approach which does get us because kids are often making early decisions. If we hired an OC that had prior success and had coached players that went to the NFL, we wouldn’t be having this problem. I can’t fathom why we made such a bad hire at such a crucial time.I hope we surprise on offense and that Egbuka makes a later decision. Having Huard on board should definitely help. If Garners starts and plays well that would also really help. If he and the other QB’s suck, we are going to have a hard time getting him and we desperately need him. I like our WR’s this year a lot, but Egbuka is different different.
Long way to go with Emaka, wouldn’t worry about his recruitment until fall.

Long way to go with Emaka, wouldn’t worry about his recruitment until fall. Scratch that, in Vegas for the Wilder and got to talk to some guys for the 7 on 7 tournament. Let’s just say UW doesn’t have as much time as I thought in making up ground. Ohio State and Clemson is his top two with us a distant third. UW is in trouble when he comes to Emaka.

It’s almost like he researched our offense and oc hire and watched Clemson and Ohio state. Don’t blame him one bit.

It’s almost like he researched our offense and oc hire and watched Clemson and Ohio state. Don’t blame him one bit. OC hire had nothing to do with it. The past two years of dreadful offense is what killed us. Add in that Ohio State is coming off a CFP appearance and are putting a bunch WR's in the pro's and it's a uphill battle to say the least. The info that I received today makes me believe it will be hard for UW to overcome the gap and frankly I wouldn't get your hopes up when it comes to Emeka coming here.
