    Dennis and I have had many sexts over getting these two and just being done at WR before April. Both are ELITE. And we lead for both right now.

    While I don't anticipate similar concerns as what we saw with Tui, I do think it is very risky to just shut down all recruiting in April.

    We don't know who may or may not leave the program after next year and we could have a need for an additional guy. Keeping contact would be good.

    The plus though is that it COULD lead to getting a head start on 2019 recruiting at the position (positive) ... OR it could also free Bush to be freed up to recruit at other positions/areas as well (cough OL).
    I don't think he necessarily means to stop recruiting WRs whatsoever, just that if everything goes right we won't need anymore commits. I think we will end up with Osborne, one of Spiker or Williams, and Tre'Shaun Harrison as a ATH that leans WR.
    They will tell TSH he is a Salvon. He will most likely play RB or S.
    Yeah I could see that, especially once you look at the disparity between the WR and RB classes on the west this year. I hope it's RB though as he looks far too electric with the ball on his hands for safety. If he truly runs a 4.35 right now that gets me excited for his potential.
    NO HS PLAYER RUNS A 4.35 UNLESS THEY ARE DAT. FUCK.

    ESPECIALLY NOT A 6-2, 190 PLAYER.

    IF HE RAN A 4.35 AND PLAYED LIKE THAT HE'D BE THE #1 PLAYER IN THE COUNTRY YOU FUCKING IGNORANT ASSHOLE.


    FUUUUUUUCCCKKKKKK @DerekJohnson CLOSE THE GATES.
    Dat ran a 4.5 at the combine... Salvon ran a 4.32 laser soooo...
    Fuck off with being a 40 time piece of shit. Reggie Bush and Devin Hester both ran a 4.4 at the combine. They are as fast as a guy can get.

    Quibbling over 40's has always been dumb. A lot of it is technique. Some guys run just as fast in pads and some have a big drop off.
    I don't disagree with 40's being overrated and there's track fast and football fast ...

    But when someone gives legit stats that are fact versus opinion ... it's hard to argue against that.

    Anyone know if Spiker's still making his trip with the Bush news?

    It appears he still is. If he does I think he'll commit.

    I'm getting the feeling though we'll have to do some maintenance with him throughout the next year

    Well, this is a big "junior weekend" so unless something is really weird, he probably is. It's not just a trip where he's coming in to visit solo.

    There will be a lot of kids there.

    I think he was probably all set to commit and I think Bush leaving fucked us on that, but at the same time my guess is that Pete knows who he's hiring and Spiker will be in contact with that person ASAP.

    You think?

    He's already been offered by USC, Michigan and Oregon.

    Anytime you pull an early commit from an out of area high four star you're gonna have work hard to maintain it.

    Any other names to note from the junior weekend?

    Most interesting one for me is Ben Wilson, I want to see if he'll get an offer (I suspect he will). I am so on the fence on him as a player.

    He seems like a summer or early senior year offer to me ... he's like BBK to me ... a very good player but not sure he has the gear to get to the elite level

    When's the last time an ILB panned out for UW? ILB designation almost always = slow OLB. Waste of time IMO.

    Spiker will be a first round NFL pick if he goes to a Pac 12 school. He'll lead UW in TDs and catches his sophomore year. He has the best WR highlight video I've seen in quite a while for a UW recruit - he catches everything - he fixes his route very well to poorly thrown balls. He has that ball detection instinct like Sidney Jones has.

    Also, Spiker was separated at birth from Craig Chambers.
