    Also, unofficial in Sept + Official in December >>>> Official in September.

    Getting him on campus twice (if it happens) would be significant.

    Late officials are always a plus

    Official the weekend of the 28th for the BYU game.

    From top 8 to top 5.

    He has decided not to visit on the 28th for the BYU game....















    Instead he has changed his visit to December 15th which is one of our big recruiting weekends where we will bring in our commits and top targets all at once.

    I don't expect him to want us, because we can't have nice things on the edge. But this is still a substantial development.
    Spoonfeed me, why substantial?
    In addition to what Neighbor said, I'll give some input.

    Getting a kid to visit in September-November is good, but it gives months to cool off from the visit. Meanwhile the kid will be visiting other schools who get the whole "last chance to impress".

    Pete wants to get kids in as late as possible for obvious reasons. December 7th and December 15th will be the two big official visit weekends. December 19th is early signing day, so these two weekends get UW the last chance to impress.

    Aside from the timeline, it's also the way UW splits it up. The current commits will get split between the two weekends for their officials. Then the top targets will get split up as well based on positions and who UW thinks will get along best.

    The entire environment is set up to have a top target surrounded by commits who love UW and can work on them, as well as get top targets who are leans sitting with each other thinking how cool it would be to all commit together.

    Last year it got Kaho (RIP), Gordon, Taki, ZTF, and Tafisi.





    The 2nd big one is to get whoever didn't commit to kick it with commits at the Poly Bowel and get them to sign at the regular signing day in February.

    Sounds like a positive development getting his last visit. He already officially visited USC as well. We are going to have to wait fucking forever for the majority of the rest of our commits this class. Gonna be a bunch of people freaking the fuck out about our recruiting in October and November and then there will be an explosion of commits in December and January that will have every bodies balls empty and minds blown.
