    There's zero reason for Emeka to go anywhere else. UW lone WR recruit is playing the Slot. A 5 star QB is coming in the same class that you throw with.

    To leave that and go to either OSU or Oklahoma that has 2 solid WR recruits each is Kaho Stupid(™)

    Oklahoma is a boring state. Kids from Texas don't mind because much of Texas is also ugly.

    nah ....

    I hear Seattle is great. Don't get me wrong, Eugene is worse, but the Oregon coaches don't sell Oregon with Eugene. If the coaches are trying to sell Seattle, they are doing it wrong.

    Selling Seattle isn't smart for these reasons:

    Too many homeless

    Poor weather

    Below averages coeds

    Miami, Florida State*, Florida, USC, UCLA, Texas, and Tennessee can sell on location. They are located in or near a big city, they great weather, and they most certainly have the coeds. Florida State has a 157 mile trip to Jacksonville, so even they have a harder sell.
    Tallatrashy is a piece of shit.

    HTH.
    Which is why it has an asterisk

    If we are basically done this class is terrible.

    Jimmy's first year is an epic bust. All the wrong hires, all the wrong keeps on the staff, and an almost complete bust on the recruiting trail. Outside of Prentice, Sam and Voi, this is pretty much a WSU class.

    Good thing Georgia is getting shit done.

    Yeah, this year has been a complete fucking train wreck. Fuck this shit.
    Hasn't b een great but not sure if I'd call it a complete train wreck ... yet

    If homelessness scares off recruits, you're going to have to scratch the LA schools right off your list. Or any other school in a major coastal city, for that matter.

    Jesus, Seattle and the U district is posh compared to what it was in the 80s and 90s, even 2000s. This homelessness thing is stupid. It literally affects zero recruits.

    When is this kid gonna announce for tOSU?

    I think Ohio State is behind Oklahoma right now. Right now I would say Oklahoma is the leader with OSU and Washington slightly behind.
    Are we completely out of it for JTT yet?
    We are pretty much out of it. Emeka is the only recruit we have a realistic chance that is still left on the board for the 2021 class. Besides him, they basically moved on to the 2022 class.
    Read the same quote last year about Smalls... LIPO
    Petersen was a closer. Jimmy?

    **Trigger warning**

    Steilacoom (Wa.) WR Emeka Egbuka (2021) - Yep, I said it. It's going out on a bit of a limb, but I think the Huskies are in good shape here. No, they aren't currently the "leader" for his services right now, but, as things drag on with his recruitment and the luster of Oklahoma fades a bit, I think Washington is in a good spot to grab him. His family would prefer he stick close to home, although they aren't pushing him one way or the other. Ohio State is definitely the other school to keep an eye on and they are considered to be neck-and-neck with the Sooners as his top schools, but I just get the feeling he's going to stay home. He has an outstanding relationship with Junior Adams and he will have the chance to see what Washington's offense looks like under John Donovan's direction. It's just a hunch, but I think Husky fans will be very happy when his recruitment wraps up.

    Yeah that report is a lot different than a "woofs soon".
    The title is "Five who could "woof" so I guess technically he is hedging but yeah, making sure he locks in my $10.95.
    Didn't realize it was from the "who could woof" article. It definitely doesn't sound like he's expecting anything to happen on EE anytime soon.

    I still think we get him but not because of this report. Tim will tell.

    My life was much happier when I didn't follow TBS. I could just look forward to the games and judge the coach on wins and losses.

    The one benefit of a 26th-ranked class (behind Cal, no less) and retaining Bob Gregory and hiring JohnDon is this. After a while, you realize you're fucked and you stop giving two fucks about TBS. Then again, that has the calamitous effect of losing more than winning on the field. Which exacerbates unhappiness.

    God, I might as well be one of those Gaia-loving folks on Vashon or Whidbey and start jarring fruit. TBSing is like PTSD for college football freaks.

    Is that anything like gang slamming the Henderson queer?

    It doesn’t help this year and it really doesn’t help much next year other than possibly Huard, Egbuka, and JTT. I’ll worry about 2023 when the time comes. That’s always been my problem with recruiting. I never care enough to worry that far ahead.
