The 4 best coaches in the country and Tom Herman. This kid gets it. Get him Malloe.

Word is that kid is "Opening up his recruitment. Please respect his decision and no interviews at this time."DawgsAllDay36 said:L o fucking L at no USC. Didn't his teammate just commit there like last night?

Really good news for UW that there are no other P12 schools on that list
-
I told the forums awhile back ... when Tuitele was being interviewed at some LA camp the interviewer (who was pro-LA schools) asked Tuitele questions about recruiting ... ucla and sc got regular, diplomatic answers ... but when the interviewer asked about anyone else Tuitele's face lit up and he started talking about UW in glowing terms ...
.... and the interviewer basically cut him off before he could get going and moved onto the next question.
I said then that UW has a good thing going with Tuitele.
Last year we got Shelton at the Poly Bowl as a honorary captain ... I think he was very underrated in his influence over recruits ... if we could get someone like Vea there this year it would really, really help.

One thing that I would also point out is that Seattle is the only school that is a direct flight for him to get home to as well as for family to come visit.
Austin is somewhat doable with1 stop flight options.
Atlanta is challenging to start with and then you have to drive to Clemson and Alabama from there.
Columbus may be the most challenging of them all.
Lots of reason for optimism IMO. -

I know we all like to joke about having a hat on the table. But the fact that UW is consistently being named in the top 5 or 6 or 10 or 14 or whatever the fuck kids do these days matters. The more top end kids that give UW a look results in more top end kids legitimately considering UW.
Others will take notice of this, especially the Poly's. Maybe it's the reason Buelow or Vimahi take a closer look when added to Pa'ama having already committed.
Being the only West Coast school matters. Not having USC in his list matters. Being in it with Bama, tOSU, Clemson, and Texas for a top 25 kid fucking matters.
Malloe is a fucking boss. -
