I like this, although I expect the bb offers from tOSU, SC, and Oregon will roll in soon
Being FIRST in both sports has to help.
He's coming here.
Yeah, it's a smart move that a school that's serious about recruiting would make (hopefully this is a sign that Jimmy will start to get more serious about it as HC). The basketball scholarship offer is meaningless since he's playing football but it's good to stroke the kid's ego.
I view it in one of two ways:
1) It’s a desperation play because we are getting blown out by Ohio and know if it’s football vs football we are in a bad spot
2) It’s a differentiator because Hop is committing to JTT that he has the ability to be a contributor to UW hoops and this isn’t a lip service offer ... also the ability for both JTT and Paolo to play together may hold some value in both recruitments

I worry that this is it. Like the guy at the bar offering to buy a girl all her drinks for the night even if she doesn't talk to him. She's still going home with Bruce Wayne.

I don’t think this is remotely true, he’s basically said he wants to take his visits and will likely sign in February. I don’t think anyone is in that big of a lead.

Meh. With nothing more than my inherent rightness to draw upon, I see it more as escalation than desperation.

People forget Reggie Rogers played 3 years of Husky basketball and FOOTBALL. Reggie ended up the sixth pick overall in the NFL draft. He had five DUIs, committed vehicular homicide and OD'd on coke, but still.
Don’t underestimate Hop’s desire to keep the local BB talent home too. JT plays with Hickman & Nowell at ESC and is longtime friends with Paulo. It doesn’t matter if it’s coordinated with Jimmy, point is Hop gets a lot of value out of recruiting JT too and he isn’t a BB scrub. Frankly I’m surprised this hadn’t already happened.

I read it as #3:
Jimmy just agreed to let him play both sports.
Guessing Pete wouldn't have. Jimmy probably considered then realized he has to.
A mildly interesting development. In the last few days, USC has picked up a ton of crystal dongs for 3 different defensive linemen (specifically SDE's) not named JTT (Foreman,Mobley, and Armitage). They already have another 4* d lineman committed.
I'm sure they would still take JTT but it could be a sign that they are willing to take other guys that want to commit now

Bruised Wayne!

Otherwise Hop already would have offered.
I like the offer and it can’t do anything but help, but I’m not sure it really helps either.
