No joke, this kid was training for UFC the last few years. Last year was his first year playing HS football. He’ll fit right in with wrestlers Macon and Kahn and Taekwondo specialist Sanchez-Hernandez. IF, of course, they can land his commitment. Getting anyone in the boat seems like a tall order these days.
Pete was a great closer but even he couldn’t overcome Strausser, Pease, Gregory and to a lesser extent, Poopoo. If Judd doesn’t realize after this cycle that Kafusi isn’t cut out for Power 2 recruiting and fire his ass then he’s not the coach to get UW back to the playoffs. DSD is also correct, I think a 10 win campaign helps everything recruiting wise across the board, Kafusi excluded.
Those guys, Strauser and Please in particular, weren't even getting into the race for anyone of note. There was nobody to close. Once UW started making final lists, Petersen started closing guys.
The issue right now is that UW isn't closing. There's plenty of interest and hats on tables.
I feel like O'dea has been fucked ever since Jimmy thought he was Chris Petersen and pulled the scholarship for Mark Nabou when he went on a visit to another school. I think they have basically struck out ever since. Also considering O'dea is made up of paid mercenaries its not too surprising these kids have little to no loyalty to a 'local' school. I did some TBS family stocking and came up with some doog excuses for why neither of this years batch signed with UW. 1st, Schwerzel probably grew up a Cuog fan, as his dad wrestled at the Cuog and probably threatened to beat up a husky fan or 2 after getting wasted watching the 92 Apple Cup. Kid definitely too good to be playing at WSU but UCLA hits the marks. As for Siale, his father unfortunately passed away (RIP) but I got the impression his dad was a MSU / midwest Polynesian. That's all I really got. I may have done much less for Siale. That said, the number of Polynesian kids at O'dea and Eastside Catholic is pretty staggering.
Surprisingly I don’t hate the purple helmet in his photos as an alternative once/season.
… and I absolutely hated when Lambo went away from our traditional gold helmets. When I saw the photo of the purple helmet in the Seattle Times, I was so pissed off! That was a fireable move on its own.
He was highly productive before getting hurt last year so hopefully that means he knows how to play football. I am assuming Oceanside was playing decent competition too. He doesn't have to play right away either. If he didn't get hurt he probably has a lot more offers and interest from big programs. Nice get.
ASU and UCLA are actually pulling some good recruits. Not the same as beating them out say, two or three years ago. It's not Notre Dame or Michigan, I get it, don't twist but it's not WSU or Boise either.

Not sure. UW offered a local DT with a bunch of Big Sky offers so I assume the 4* kid a gonezo.

I thought he had us, Utah, and Arizona in his final 3.
Someone needs to be held accountable if we lose this kid to Utah where there's rumors of Whittingham retiring after this year.
they need to win more games this year… then they actually get a couple of these guys. Losers DL and Edge coach.
We lost the fucking O’Dea layups. It’s already Defcon 2, Kafusi and Stinky McBlinks-a-lot.
Fisch is a great recruiter. He said so and everyone believed him.
Must just need new assistants...

Pics from visit:
I like his size. Seems a legit 6'4.

Scott lawyer says what’s up.

Roman says he (Tokio) and Umu Cais are BFFs. Don’t twist.
Visits to ASU, Cal, Colorado, and UCLA, so what we would expect from a typical UW coaching staff
ASU and UCLA are actually pulling some good recruits. Not the same as beating them out say, two or three years ago. It's not Notre Dame or Michigan, I get it, don't twist but it's not WSU or Boise either.
another one? Or did this kid randomly commit
Judds Twitter game is random at best.
