"Washington is still in pursuit and I told coach Juice (Julius Brown) I would give him a chance to show me he can bring back DBU to Washington," said Presley. "I would say it was a great first impression. I enjoyed watching Washington beat Michigan State. I think what stood out the most were the fans in the stadium. The game was packed out. I wasn’t expecting to see that much purple. I could tell the fans were die hard dawg fans and even came up to me to say what's up."

This is one where we'd be confidently sitting back and waiting for Petersen/Lake to flip him a few years ago. It seems possible still as long as performance by the current corners isn't the linch pin.

I don't know why the current performance of the corners wouldn't be a selling point.

I got that from his own words, something about UW becoming DB U again, which I took to mean that he needs to see quality cornerback play or at least improvement.

I agree with the concept though. A good HS corner should expect to come in and start if the ones at UW suck, which could be a draw.

Current performance is "I can see the field early if I ball"

I thought Meesh cleaned it up a bit and he's always solid in run support. We survived Asa being out. No Spartans TD were uncontested. Irvin flashed ..his confidence is rising. We still need quality depth

Powell had a decent game and tsckled way better, ilk give him that. I also think Irvin might be the best corner on the team right now and it's not because if the pick. He is bigger, faster, tackles better and has better ball skills than the others...I think. But then again I've been waiting years for the chance to say "I told you so" after he's been universally ripped and dismissed here. My eagerness probably means I'm wrong.
