    This is crazy and insane ... look around. Just because the best team starts in Washington are in more affluent areas and same with Orange County, they don't extrapolate to the rest of the country.

    For example, I don't think anybody would claim that Grant in Sacramento is overly affluent ... or the same with most DFW and Houston area schools.

    What you are speaking to is more local culture driven as well as funding/coaching availability.
    He didn't say it was a money thing, just that fb isn't big in the inner cities. In general, I think that's fair. Sacramento isn't anyone's idea of urban so that doesn't hurt his case. Yes there are southern cities where it matters, but those are the exception. And it's even bigger in the suburbs and rural areas in the south than in the cities.

    Funding is a major inner city issue ... that's true whether you look at athletics, education, etc

    What's the threshold for inner cities? Sacramento proper is 500k and the MSA approaches 2.5M

    To add to my earlier post, Eklund now says Tre'Shawn Harrison is a heavy Oregon lean. Possibly silent verballed to them on his visit.

    I'm sure someone on this bored with a business background can do a staTESTICLE ANALysis of this and provide us with Harrison's blind opportunity cost GDP ratio.

    My best guess is that it's around 81.

    I buy that he's an Oregon lean but don't for a second buy that he silent verballed. Taggart was trying to have as many commits as possible in that 24-hour span... he'd have wanted Tre'Shaun to go public with it if he actually committed.

    Bingo.

    Either that or he did verbal and then had second thoughts.

    Either way, we?re not out of it, if we don't want to be.

    My take is that if he is buying what Willie T is telling him then he's being told what he wants to hear ...

    What he wants to hear is that he wants to play offense ...

    We are likely telling him he could be an AA safety and be a high pick in the NFL Draft ...

    If his heart is being an offensive player, he won't be at Washington

    Seems similar to the Keivarae Russell situation, and he still ended up as a defensive back when his primary choice didn't work out. Will be interesting if he commits to Oregon given their current DB class.

    Wasn't that more about Sark and Keivarae's Mom being smart enough to send him away?

    Seems more like Austin Joyner situation if we eventually come around to telling him he can play where he wants.

    You might be right about that. I wasn't actively following HS as much during that time, so I'm just going off what I've read after the fact.

    Is Joyner switching actually rumored to be a possibility? Would kind of make sense for depth next year if Gaskin and Coleman leave.

    His injury history would worry me there, however.

    IIRC UW was originally recruiting Joyner as a RB. He said he wanted to play corner, and committed to WSU as a corner. UW then told him he could play DB and he gave Leach the finger.

    last I checked (right after Spring Break, so like 4/20 ish) it was UW, but that was before the Oregon visit/spring game. I will ask tomorrow.

    Don't axe. It's Oregon right now, we already know.

    What matters is how he feels in December.
