    This highlight tape does nothing for me. What am I missing? His feet look horrible, but what the hell do I know?

    Meh.

    I think they like Pleasant and are trying to be clever in a down year.

    He's okay, I guess.
    As long as we can get Austin Jones from Bishop O'Dowd in 2019 I'm not too worried about this year.

    As @CokeGreaterThanPepsi noted to me a couple days ago, we believe Newton might have waited too long to make his decision.

    I think UW wanted him as a kind of '2nd' back while they pursued top kids. I think the UW coaches are feeling good enough about Chris Brown to de-offer Newton.

    So how does a de-offer work? Do they actually reach out to the kid and say "you waited too long, we are rescinding your offer" or is it just a thing where they stop contacting him and assume he gets the hint?

    This is a question for Myles Bryant.

    Saw that someone is reporting that Newton is visiting on Monday. If true, I'm guessing that Pete wanted Brown but he said he isn't ready to commit and wants to take his time so the ball is back in Fig's court.

    Yup, putting the heat on Brown, they must not have Fig Newton too far behind Brown on their bored.
