    Eklund says in his blog today there is a "better than even chance" he flips to USC

    That would suck since I like him but I don't know how we're fitting all the DL prospects we have a good shot with so if he bails that hopefully means we have room for Wright and Tuitele as well.

    Not to be a debbie downer but i think Paama is almost a lynchpin type of recruit when it comes to tuitele. Apparently they are good friends who would like to play with each other. If Paama flips to SC we might get johnny nansen'd with tuitele's recruitment as well. Hopefully malloe is better prepared for this recruiting battle better than the tuipulotu drama
    I think if anything that helps us? and hurts USC. Tuitele didn't have SC in his top 5, which was surprising, but shows SC has a lot of ground to make up.

    We? all know the Dawgman guys don't know anything until after it happens. As long as they play the he might visit / he might not visit, but SC is pushing hard for it card they can say they were right either way.

    Case in poont, from Roof last week:

    “I’m playing defense when I get up there”, Pa’ama asserted, “I made up my mind — I talk to Coach Malloe every day and he always checks up on me and gets on me on stuff I need to get done.”

    So there will be no other visits — schools can try all day — but Pa’ama asserts that he’s 100% committed to Washington and he won’t take any other trips.

    Marlon was 10x more insistent that he was locked in to UW a week before flipping to SC. Hopefully Paama isnt a shit and doesn't come from a shit family.
    Polys hate disappointing people. They shun conflict, even if it means lying. Not saying Polys are liars, just that they don't like letting people down. Don't twist.

    Trust me I take everything with a grain of salt when it comes to Ektard and Roof. But if they were to flip Paama late... USC might be able to weasel in Tuitele as well. USC closes like a mother every year!

    That's a classic example of Ektard and the Lemon Party Trio covering all of their bases by saying EWIWBI

    If they were flat out reporting, there's nothing out thereexcept he's going to UW. The USC shit is simply them trying to push because he's better than anything that they can currently get since Malloe's sticking it to Nansen at the moment big time. There's no momentum or buzz around USC right now and there's nothing that SC is going to do during the season to bump them up the pecking order as Clay Helton is going to continue to see his seat get warmer and warmer by the week.

    Someone on Dawgman says that he made an Instagram post that said...

    “PRAYIN ON IT ??
    #oneday???????“

    With a photo of his #64 on a USC jersey in the Coliseum..

    But it looks like he deleted it pretty quickly.

    Coach Pete needs to make an example like he did last year with Nicholas Bolton to keep the rest of the commits in line. I know that Cameron Williams recently went on a visit to an USC game. Maybe he should revoke Cameron's offer

    Everytime I see Paama's picture it just freaks me out.

    Imagine he develops Vita Vea-style.

    Paama is already a monster .. give him 3 years of development and good food and a huge sprinkling of Socha and let him loose.

    Then consider him working alongside Bandes, Tuitele, Ika ... etc .... brbyo. Where's my tissue paper?

    Article in question. Unlike @DoogCourics I am.one of the pours so I cannot read it, but it's probably fine. If not it would be a bigger deal on boreds.

    He said Nansen is always blowing up his phone. He was going to take a visit to SC but cancelled it. Said he's not taking other visits and UW is his pick. Will visit Dec 14 and wants to sign early. He's solid right now.

    It's not over until he signs!

    And you know dis maaaaaaaan! But USC could have a disaster season and that coaching staff could be gone soon. Stanford made them look very beatable. I can see possible losses to Texas, WSU, Colorado, Utah, ASU and Notre Dame. I don't think they'll be much of a threat to flip any of our guys after the season barring UW doesn't shit themselves and manage to at least go 10-2.

    Not really, our commits would likely have no relationships with the new coaches and the early signing period would be an advantage for UW.

    Not with the early signing period.
    This is an excellent point. That does help our chances.

    We need Helton to do well enough not to get canned early but not well enough to keep his seat cool.
    That's why we may or may not have lucked out with Helton going with JT, freshman quarterback. That's his limited get-out-jail-free pass ... team doesn't do that well, Helton gets to live another day most likely ... and that may help divert attention and recruiting to Washington.

    The problem is that JT is pretty amazing for what he would be today - a high school senior. He's well connected with many UW targets like Bru etc ... if USC does okay then I think JT will be used as a selling point ... we'll see of course.

    We need USC to be mediocre, UCLA to maintain implosion and UW to do well and shift focus.
