    Agreed on Ahfua, almost feels like an Eastside Catholic kid. Saw this mentioned a few months back, the UW NIL collective really needs to get Jermaine Kearse or some other alum to start their own underwear Olympics program to run Tracy Ford out of town.

    Seems the Courtney Morgan check cashed cause Tracy has been showing lots of love or UW ever since DeBoer showed up. Whatever works. Kind of silly Pete & Lake just refused to play a very simple game.

    Like, I get the principle of it. But give me a break. You leave your principles at the door once you get paid millions of dollars to stalk teen boys.
    They played the game with Tracy. Coaches have to. He’s a goofball and the talent from the state seems worse than ever, but you gotta appease him to some level.

    Tracy isn’t dictating where the kids go to the extent some of you think. He’s not anti UW, he has a business and he also likes the attention and clout that comes from it.
    Yeah but it’s much more comforting to have someone outside the program to blame for in-state recruiting shortcomings

    Someone needed to pick up the slack after Joey Thomas I think was his name and was openly anti UW.

    I’ve already written them all off other than Brown. Platt seems interesting but I feel like I’ve heard he wants to be a cuck with Oregon and Lanning for some reason. Might make sense as Yelm was always the weirdest and douchiest kids at basketball camps when I was in high school. They would legit have varsity kids play JV sometimes I think just to feel good about themselves.

    Someone said Platt is waiting/hoping for a Georgia offer. Seems like with his size and athleticism he might be a real candidate to get offers from SEC schools. If he doesn't get the UGA offer, I'm sure Lanning will be happy to come in and call the Ducks the next best thing.

    Class of 2024:

    Jason Brown, RB, O'DEA, 5'10" 200 lbs, 20 offers already
    Isendre Ahfua, OG, O'DEA, 6'5" 330 lbs, 20 offers already
    Hogan Hansen, TE, BELLEVUE, 6'6" 220 lbs, 16 offers already (committed to Michigan but Harbaugh is likely NFL bound)
    Brayden Platt, LB, YELM, 6'2" 240(!!) lbs, 10 offers already
    Marquawn McCraney, S, HIGHLINE, 6'1" 180 lbs, 7 offers already
    Rahshawn Clark, WR, FEDERAL WAY, 6'0" 180 lbs, 12 offers already
    Fox Crader, OT, EVERGREEN, 6'6" 275 lbs, 10 offers already (committed to Oregon)
    Kyan McDonald, S, O'DEA, 6'0" 175 lbs, 8 offers already
    EJ Caminong, QB, GARFIELD, 6'2" 195 lbs, 4 offers already (committed to Washington)
    Malachi Durant, WR, PUYALLUP, 6'2" 160 lbs, 8 offers already

    Not as top heavy as '21, but 10 guys with multiple power 5 offers before their senior season is pretty good. I'd like to see DeBoer keep at least 5-6 of them home.

    Get Jason Brown no excuses. He's the one I'll be mad if we don't get. If we can get an equivalent Hogan Hansen from California that's fine.
    Ahfua seems impossible. His most recent post on Twitter is this weird, sad Dan Lanning shit:

    I think he also tweeted Go Green the week before the Michigan State game. How'd that go? Seems like a weirdo.

    Someone needs to convince Hansen Harbaugh will leave and the track record of TEs from Washington who go to UW and the NFL is unrivaled.

    Crader looks like he wants to fall in line with Devon Allen and Terrance Ferguson and be the lamest looking white guy at Oregon.

    It already seems like Brown is the only big one they'll get and the rest will have to be framed as WDWA already.
    Ahfua is WDWHA, but nobody will believe me yet. Once any good college coach digs into his junior film most of those offers won’t be committable any more. I’d take Brown and McDonald and call it a day with O’Dea.

    Interesting. I haven't seen his film. I did notice he took a massive plunge down the rankings and wondered why. The script then here is all the blue bloods stop recruiting him and he silent commits to Oregon, magically is pushed back up to a five star and then gets hyped as the next five star Oregon stole out of Washington.

    Oregon has 2 5* kids out of Washington….ever. And the above scenario applies to neither. Re-read your script.

    What I said read maybe read wrong. This is a new script specifically not a remake. That said, I'd be surprised if this is a true UW WDWHA situation, if for nothing else but optics.

    Jonathan Stewart was a rare true five star out of the state and Conerly was always a five-star throughout the process, though feels like a guy who would have slipped had he not been in the levering for clout game.

    I should say that I haven’t seen his tape either. I went to the Rainier Beach/O’Dea game early in the season at CenturyLink and then saw EC beat O’Dea at Memorial in the semis. He’s huge but doesn’t seem to be in great shape and didn’t standout on the field as one of the 3 best linemen on the field from either team in the EC game. I’m sure he’ll end up in a solid program, but I was shocked seeing him not get better between those two games.

    I’ve never watched him but I believe you. There have been a bunch of guys that I knew sucked and some were actually worried about losing. Julien Simon was the worst one. If you thought Julian Simon was going to be a good P-5 football player, you should quit having an opinion on any recruit.
    Happily I was right about him. I'm bound to get a few right with as many opinions as I have.

    For whatever reason the state of Washington seems to have a major problem hyping up kids who peak at 14 and/or are huge at that age and then clearly have limited ceilings. Feels like Smalls and JTT to an extent. I don't think it's a coincidence that Egbuka is like the only big recruit from WA to actually be good recently and he blew up late.

    I'd also rather have an OL recruit that can move the one that's huge.

    Naw JT is legit. Go watch that UGA game.
    JTT at Penn state had the most dominant defensive performance I’d seen since mathieu or suh

    Malachi Durant, WR, PUYALLUP, 6'2" 160 lbs, 8 offers already

    Not as top heavy as '21, but 10 guys with multiple power 5 offers before their senior season is pretty good. I'd like to see DeBoer keep at least 5-6 of them home.

    Get Jason Brown no excuses. He's the one I'll be mad if we don't get. If we can get an equivalent Hogan Hansen from California that's fine.
    Ahfua seems impossible. His most recent post on Twitter is this weird, sad Dan Lanning shit:

    I think he also tweeted Go Green the week before the Michigan State game. How'd that go? Seems like a weirdo.

    Someone needs to convince Hansen Harbaugh will leave and the track record of TEs from Washington who go to UW and the NFL is unrivaled.

    Crader looks like he wants to fall in line with Devon Allen and Terrance Ferguson and be the lamest looking white guy at Oregon.

    It already seems like Brown is the only big one they'll get and the rest will have to be framed as WDWA already.
    Ahfua is WDWHA, but nobody will believe me yet. Once any good college coach digs into his junior film most of those offers won’t be committable any more. I’d take Brown and McDonald and call it a day with O’Dea.
    I’ve never watched him but I believe you. There have been a bunch of guys that I knew sucked and some were actually worried about losing. Julien Simon was the worst one. If you thought Julian Simon was going to be a good P-5 football player, you should quit having an opinion on any recruit.
    Happily I was right about him. I'm bound to get a few right with as many opinions as I have.
    For whatever reason the state of Washington seems to have a major problem hyping up kids who peak at 14 and/or are huge at that age and then clearly have limited ceilings. Feels like Smalls and JTT to an extent. I don't think it's a coincidence that Egbuka is like the only big recruit from WA to actually be good recently and he blew up late.

    I'd also rather have an OL recruit that can move the one that's huge.
    Naw JT is legit. Go watch that UGA game.
    If you're hyping him because you know he's transferring to UW then cool. Otherwise he had zero tackles, sacks or TFLs in that game and I wonder if you watched it on mute if you'd notice him.

    JTT is a good player. He was overhyped for sure. I heard some tossing out the “Generational” tag. That’s not him. He’s an exceptional athlete but strictly from a rush end perspective he’s a top talent but not something you can’t replicate in another player. In many ways Latu is more natural to me at rushing the QB.

    This is fair. I was going to say he at the very least doesn't feel like a player who was ranked by a lot as the top recruit in his class. I went back and looked at that class has some struggles. Maybe Covid fucked it up. He's certainly better than Korey Foreman and is right there with Jack Sawyer.

    I never took the time to watch Korey Foreman videos but even I’m shocked at how he’s done nothing in college. I think the argument of players peaking early in HS is very valid.

    I’d say my best call was Justin Flowe. I saw NOTHING in his game that suggested he had instincts and I knew he’s be one of the smaller guys on the field at the next level.

    Jury is still out on Sewell. I guessed he’d be a liability in coverage and frankly his first season proved me wrong. This last season he was purportedly dinged most of the season so year three shall be the rubber match.

    The JTT criticism is out of control. He started every game for a team that made the playoff.

    OSU isn't starting somebody because of recruiting hype, they have tons of hyped recruits on their bench. They're starting him because he's damn good.

    Kyan McDonald, S, O'DEA, 6'0" 175 lbs, 8 offers already
    EJ Caminong, QB, GARFIELD, 6'2" 195 lbs, 4 offers already (committed to Washington)
    Malachi Durant, WR, PUYALLUP, 6'2" 160 lbs, 8 offers already

    Not as top heavy as '21, but 10 guys with multiple power 5 offers before their senior season is pretty good. I'd like to see DeBoer keep at least 5-6 of them home.

    Get Jason Brown no excuses. He's the one I'll be mad if we don't get. If we can get an equivalent Hogan Hansen from California that's fine.
    Ahfua seems impossible. His most recent post on Twitter is this weird, sad Dan Lanning shit:

    I think he also tweeted Go Green the week before the Michigan State game. How'd that go? Seems like a weirdo.

    Someone needs to convince Hansen Harbaugh will leave and the track record of TEs from Washington who go to UW and the NFL is unrivaled.

    Crader looks like he wants to fall in line with Devon Allen and Terrance Ferguson and be the lamest looking white guy at Oregon.

    It already seems like Brown is the only big one they'll get and the rest will have to be framed as WDWA already.
    Ahfua is WDWHA, but nobody will believe me yet. Once any good college coach digs into his junior film most of those offers won’t be committable any more. I’d take Brown and McDonald and call it a day with O’Dea.
    I’ve never watched him but I believe you. There have been a bunch of guys that I knew sucked and some were actually worried about losing. Julien Simon was the worst one. If you thought Julian Simon was going to be a good P-5 football player, you should quit having an opinion on any recruit.
    Happily I was right about him. I'm bound to get a few right with as many opinions as I have.

    Yeah, I didn't read that much into his comments. He basically said the focus is keeping Washington kids home and dominating California. He noted that the 5-star kids that USC wants will stay home. So what. How many five-star players does UW ever get from anywhere, let alone Southern California. Yet even still, there is so much talent there that UW should be able to stock its program with great players (a lot of them need a year or two in the program to develop -- that's going to be where DeBoner earns his keep).

    He didn't really say anything that was surprising or worrisome, imho. It was basically a story about how he's gotten to where he is and why he's at Washington. The dude is confident. And the article noted the staff booted Glenn down to director of player development while making the Oregon guy (Henkle?) director of recruiting and a former Michigan guy as director of scouting. Bruce Harrell's daughter is director of on-campus recruiting.

    So it sounds like the grown ups are in charge. (Except in the AD's chair, and until that changes, I'm not going to get my hopes up even though I'm doogin more than I have since Peterman first came on board.)
