Prediction: UW will sign the big DL from Edmonds-Woodway

Ali Gaye. He was born in west African nation of Gambia before coming to the U.S.
Checks in at 6-6, 260. Looking at his highlights, he's an unpolished, rangy prospect who, with his frame, could easily carry 290 in another year or so.
Similar situation to Jonathan Kongbo from The Congo via British Columbia. Kongbo was an unheralded high school senior in 2014, signed with Wyoming, transferred to Arizona Western and ended up as the No. 1 JuCo recruit in the country last winter. Had offers from UW and just about every other DI program but chose Tennessee.
The recruiting sites have written little about Gaye, but he claims a half-dozen Pac-12 offers (but not UW). Coach K and Malloe went to see him play a couple weeks ago.
I predict he'll commit shortly before signing day. If Gaye doesn't qualify academically as some have speculated, Pete will stash him at CCSF or some other UW-friendly junior college where the Huskies can get him back in a couple years.
"Bringing (Washington) back to a championship level will be dictated by our ability to recruit and to develop defensive linemen."

"I'm not looking to lay out everything we do here for everybody to see. I think everybody tries to copy us in recruiting anyway. I think if nobody is on a kid and we get on him, then they [start to recruit him, too]. We had that at Boise, too, and it would be frustrating."

When word got out UW was recruiting an unknown defensive end named Bryce Sterk a couple years, Don Pellum was soon spotted in Lynden trying to get involved in the kid's recruitment for the Ducks.

Also, is Trey Adams not playing against tiny white kids out in Wenatchee?
You're comparing Burleson's athleticism to our best O lineman so if he is even in the realm of Trey Adams then he has potential.
Or he could just be a project who will never pan out at all...
Those dates were based on the traditional 13-month Mormon calendar (in recognition of the game at Utah on Saturday).
Thought that was pretty obvious.
That's all for now."
I also predicted Foster Sarell to the Dub. Fuck it, though, 1-for-2 is better than what's available across town for $10.95 per month
If Gaye doesn't qualify, guessing Pete and Coach K might stash him at Santa Barbara CC as payback for Joel Whitford, the punter who saved a year of UW eligibility by redshirting down there this season.
Adams is far more athletic and he can play him some football too
