A little recruiting news

This isn't the hottest recruiting period of the season. This is the one month of the year when you can actually say things slow down to an almost standstill in recruiting. One reason is coaches across the country while still connected generally take vacations with their families. For the PSA's they also are on vacation since they will be heading to their HS camps in mid August.
Things pick back up when practices begin. At that time you start to see a steady stream of visitors once again. You usually don't start the official visits till later in the year but Washington is going to have a big recruiting weekend to kick everything off during their opener against LSU in Husky Stadium. Usually you try to get the kids to visit on their remaining last official visit and not the first but the strategy for getting the top guys in California has been altered under Sarkisan.
The reasoning behind it is it is a big national ESPN game in front of a packed house at night in Husky Stadium. Kids love being there when ESPN is in the house.
This is a list of some of the kids who are plannning to be there. As with any list six weeks in advance things will change as time goes on. Some of these visits will be official and some of these kids will be coming up on their own dime. We will have a better idea once the date gets closer.
- RB Jordan James
- CB Josh Shaw
- MLB Hayes Pullard
- MLB Victor Burnett
- CB Troy Hill
- OL Nick Rowland
- CB Demetrius Wright
The Next Commit?
If I was a betting man I would say it would be Erik Koehler who plans to take a visit in August to watch the team during practice. This will be the second time that Koehler has taken an unofficial visit. He will also be in town again when Oaks Christian plays Skyline in September.
Koehler's last trip was to Notre Dame and all reports coming in say he enjoyed the trip and liked meeting the coaches. Still he keeps telling everyone that interviews him that Washington remains his top choice and the next trip he will make will be to Washington with Nick Montana.
I think the stars have aligned together on this one and we can expect Koehler to commit on that trip to kick August off with a big bang.

Is going to be a new twist at Husky Football games and I think it’s going to be AWESOME! You guys should check out Dick Baird’s article on Dawgman.com, good reading. I’m jacked!
I hope it’s like the tailgate down at the Rosebowl, that was the biggest Husky Tailgate I’ve EVER been to.

Pac-10 budgets
Did you guys read BC’s article on the Husky Blog? Interesting reading, we’re 5th in the Pac-10. With Stanford, Cal, SC and ucla in front of us. Texas is numero uno at like 120 million a year! Unreal! I thought ND was number 1, some guy had posted something from Forbes magazine and we were like 17 or 18 in the nation. Apparently they’re crunching the numbers differently in this poll or we’ve slipped badly!

Great news. We’re gonna watch the dominoes fall as some kids commit to other schools our chances with these other guys will go up. Prime example is Florida got a commitment out of RB Mack Brown and now Jordon James has scratched Florida off his list. Watch ’em fall.
Great news ...we need to play LSU strongly
I don’t want to see the team get their arses kicked with ESPN and these recruits there.
Yes we do!
LSU will be expecting to just show up and win. We have to let them know early that if they get the win it will have to be earned.

We gotta punch'em in the mouth
Just like we did to Miami. They may have speed but if our boys play “like a pack of crazed dawgs” we’re going to impress recruits and fans win/lose/draw.
Aint that the truth
I think Sark and the Dawgs are gonna be up bigtime for this game so it should be closer than the SEC rats are expecting

Going to be a big weekend
Big time first game for Sark & Co, big time recruits will be in town, and ESPN will air the game. What else do you need to be excited for a football game?
I want to scream my bloody guts out
and get the win.
Game Day?
What are the odds that the game hosts the seasons first ESPN game day? If not this game, which one will it be?

There arent that many good games week one...
Georgia vs Ok State, Missouri vs Illinois, BYU vs Oklahoma, Alabama vs Va. Tech will most likely get the nod…my guess would be Alabama vs Va. Tech if i had to guess.
I think you guessed it
UGA and OK St. would probably be runner up, but Bama and Va Tech are both bigger names than the other OSU
Our leather lungs together...
Washington/LSU
They should go with our game. I mean maybe they don’t think it’ll be that close or something but traditionally this is the BEST match up.

Happy Iona?
This DT from Bethel has been offered yet I never hear his name come up. What’s the scoop? It would seem that we’d want to have Iona and Potoae as DT recruits leaving Hudson and others for DE.
Strategy
That’s the thing about recruiting, you have so many offers out and as you fill up the slots, things fall into place. He has an offer but if another defensive end commits his offer may or may not still be there. Both sides are taking chances.
