    No clue. Coker is the best forecaster though and he says no, so that's what seems likely.

    The doog in me is too excited about him sliding in at LG next year to completely lose hope.

    you dingleberries ... Sarell (and his family, specifically his mom) haven't even started/finished their OV at UW.

    The only thing we can probably comfortably say (reading the tea leaves and doing some observation/psychology) is this:

    - Sarell was mostly likely gone 4-5 months ago.
    - his internet net presence was all Stanford
    - recent UW success under Petersen and a rough patch with Stanford helped open his mind back to UW
    - Stanford has recovered to a good season
    - anything can happen (usually good things when a recruit and family get an OV to UW with Petersen)

    for example: see Elijah Molden. He was pretty much Stanford until he got an OV with UW and that did it.

    We can only hope the same thing happens with Sarell. But wherever he goes good luck to him.

    This is the most optimistic realistic view that I see ...

    If pressed, I'd say our odds of getting Fozzy are about the same as UW beating Bama ...
    we can only hope that there are big enough questions about Stanford to make him and his mom hesitate enough. Shaw NFL questions and continuity questions over the O-line etc ...

    Otherwise Stanford has too much going at the moment for them:

    - Sarell has made fast friends with Stanford recruits the last year, that actually means alot. Has Sarell made any friends with UW recruits? I haven't heard any talk about it at all. Bad sign.
    - if he goes Stanford he'll be blocking for potentially Mills, Parkinson and others. That's a pretty compelling group of recruits. The TBS'er in me is showing ...

    I think it's clear that the ceiling is much higher with Petersen than Shaw at the moment, UW is trending and it's rolling forward, ain't gonna stop. Is it enough to overcome probable ingrained thinking and bias towards Stanford? I hope so.
    Disagree. In or Out?

    I'm going on a limb of hope and saying yes.

    At this point, if Chris Petersen walks through your door and offers you a scholarship to UW and you say no... then you might as well buy cable. Elijah Molden bought Direct TV, and he's a smarter kid because of it.

    Either way, it's interesting?

    It sounds like UW doesn't get him, but I am just astounded that UW couldn't pull him in after the year UW has had with some of the home grown guys. I am not sure what else UW could have done, but it's a massive fail. Not signing these types of players is the difference between winning National Championships and conference championships in my opinion. It used to be because UW wasn't winning...now what?

    Relationships with these kids are built over years.
    Stanford has been successful for years now. UW
    mostly just this year. Our bump will come in 2018
    recruiting. Expect a blockbuster class that will greatly
    ease the sting if FS goes to Stanford.
