I can’t handle the ups and downs
Now, Heimuli still looks a lot but Turner seems more likely a dwag than not, Toottoot seems back in okay and Nacua is tripping here with his mom (and Heimuli).
We aren’t gonna get all four of them but even two of them is a better finish than it appeared even a couple days ago and three wouldn’t be completely ridiculous.
This last 12 days are gonna be hell.
I love it.

I don't count Jimmy Lake out until they sign.

I agree, No way we get Nacau. Once Ngata flips we won't want him anymore.

You CAN handle the ups and downs.
You were pretty much the only one consistently saying Turner is coming to UW if he doesn't sign in the early period. While everyone else was flipping balls.
You're good enough, smart enough, and gosh darnit people like you! -

Pretty sure I was on your bandwagon but you were definitely driving it. Jimmy Lake fucks and #fortheculture could not be ruled out.HillsboroDuck said:FremontTroll said:You CAN handle the ups and downs.

Where's this Henry Choochoo buzz coming from?

I stayed real strong through the end of the early signing period drama, and even well into January. But I'm ashamed to say that after he had basically nothing to do with the UW kids at the Poly Bowel and had the brotherhood going with the ND commit I pretty much gave up hope.UW_Doog_Bot said:

Jimmy's the GOAT. -
He still has us in his top four as of yesterday. Not much but it's enough that Kalepo is still after him on Twitter. I don't think he's coming here but if he decides he doesn't want to go across the country...CallMeBigErn said:Where's this Henry Choochoo buzz coming from?

I came here to make this point. The only reason I allowed any hope for Asa is respect for @dnc's position.FremontTroll said:You CAN handle the ups and downs.

Agreed on all points!
But because I'm a petty bitch, here are some of my quotes over the last 2 months aside from all the sleuthing I did on ND boards for updates:
"ND landed a 4* LB. Appears that he's willing to join the team as a PWO if a scholarship is not open, then get on scholarship next year. ND is still pushing for Asa, but I don't see a flip coming. Especially with 2 LB's taken in the last week. Sounds like the new commit will get a scholarship after all.
"The invisible twitter man retweeted McDuffie commitment. Fuck you Notre Dame."
"I contend, if he was going to Notre Dame, then he would have signed the NLI that he had in front of him this morning. Or he'll still do it he just doesn't know how to tell Jimmy no. We now go back to our regularly scheduled AIDS programming from a bunch of fuck sticks."
"Poly Bowel mother fuckers.
Ah-You
Buelow
Horn
Kalepo
Latu
Ngalu
Pa’ama
Tuitele
Tuputala
Turner
Ford
Heimuli
Toot Toot
Nacua
Those are the targets that will all be there. It sets up for an amazing opportunity for our? boys to help the class close strong."

Three out of four would be a strong close.
-
So it looks like UW closes with Hammer, Turner, and maybe Nacua and Williams eh? An a+ close would have had Ford in it. Getting Nacua would only drop it to a solid A and that's just because they had Ford higher on their board not because I think he's substantially better. Holding onto Hammer and Turner and landing Williams, but no Nacua, still wouldn't be worse than a B or B-.
I think I'll be able to cope. Looks like more ups than downs in the closing weeks.
-
Why are we concluding they had Ford over Nacua? We pursued Nacua throughout the entirety of the summer, and have kept pursuing him after his SC commitment while we apparently dropped Ford after he committed.chuck said:So it looks like UW closes with Hammer, Turner, and maybe Nacua and Williams eh?

Inconclusive either way. They could have thought from the get-go that the odds of landing Nacua were better and allocated their resources accordingly. Or they could have not. Either way, it was never interesting.HillsboroDuck said:

I do agree with you about Nacua and how he stacks up. He could be a 5* and nobody would disagree after seeing his senior highlights. -

And I'm fine with that non confusion. I don't think there's a good argument for them having Ford higher based on the evidence though. The evidence either says they wanted Nacua more or that we don't know/can't know. -
So all four seem like they're still in play, along with a few 3 star 5th DB types. I'm just going to assume we take a 5th DB and assume he'll be good because of Jimmy Lake and that they're basically all the same. The finish to this class is going to be determined by what happens with Heimuli, Turner, To'oto'o and Nacua.HillsboroDuck said:
Now, Heimuli still looks a lock but Turner seems more likely a dwag than not, Toottoot seems back in play and Nacua is tripping here with his mom (and Heimuli).
We aren’t gonna get all four of them but even two of them is a better finish than it appeared even a couple days ago and three wouldn’t be completely ridiculous.
Get none of them - double bogey, fire everybody.
Get one of them - bogey, fire most people.
Get two of them - par, fire somebody.
Get four of them - birdie, coach stays.
Get all of them - plan the natty parade for 2021!
Right now I think we're most likely to get two or three of them, I'll go ahead and predict three. Four would be absolutely amazing.
One week of this madness to go and then we can start bitching about the 2020 class!

I think we end up where we thought we'd end up on Dec 22... Heimuli, Turner, 5th DB.HillsboroDuck said:

In other words, UW worked its ass off for a month to get where it was.
Until something changes in the process then chasing waterfalls in January won't likely bear much fruit... now, that said, the x-factor is Pissed Off Pete, so the that means flipping a d lineman from USC like last year was Pissed Off Pete. I don't think we get To'o to'o, but that would explain it if we did.
I think Nacua likes us, but won't sign here. -
Not good news on Nacua for sure.GrundleStiltzkin said:
I'd rank them Heimuli, Turner, TootToot, Nacua in order of importance (but with no major gaps in there, all four are important), so I guess he's the one of the four I'd be most okay with not getting. But that still stings. -

Nacua is very important. He's significantly better and more college-ready than Davis, and we haven't exactly had great production at WR, Browning's offensive production debuff notwithstanding.UWhuskytskeet said:
