    I also wonder if based on Jimmy's comments about wanting to be physical if he takes a look at Simon at RB.

    First, right

    He said UW’s initial focus was on linebacker, and that inside linebackers coach Bob Gregory and coach Jimmy Lake still are his primary recruiters. But he’s been hearing more from running backs coach Keith Bhonapha, too.

    “At first, it was just linebacker,” Simon said. “But they kind of moved into the realm of, ‘We think you’re a really good player, so we just want to get you on the field.’ If that’s linebacker or running back, it doesn’t really matter. That’s what I appreciate and like the most because right now, I’m not really sure what I want to do.”

    LaShonte said the family attended UW’s in-state recruiting day in January and that she’s been in regular contact with Lake and Gregory. Petersen’s resignation took Julien by surprise, but he said he was relieved to hear Lake was taking over. “They don’t have to learn a completely new system,” he said. “Defense-wise, I think they’re going to be just fine. I just wanted to see what was going to happen on offense because of the coaching changes and OC.”

    That’s similar to the culture Lake is trying to establish at UW, particularly among the 2021 class. Whether Simon signs up for that vision remains to be seen. But it sure seems the Huskies are in good shape.

    “We’ve been watching this boy in all his endeavors in sports since he could walk,” LaShonte said. “To be able to continue this journey with him would be amazing. He’s built so much within the community. … To be able to have him and these kids at home representing Washington would be amazing for us.

    “At the end of the day, he’s going to make the best decision for him in all aspects — sports, whatever he wants to do after football. Being from Washington and born and raised here, it definitely does mean something a little bit different.”

    It sounds like she’s eluding to different. Unfortunately not the elusive different different.

    First, right
    It’s the right move too IMO. Don’t love him, but that’s only because he’s maxed out physically. Doesn’t mean he won’t get better, but his physical traits will be roughly the same from the day he steps on campus.
