Nick Montana
Is he really 6’ 3"? I thought he was 6’ 1" or so.
KONA has been removed from the Notre Recruiting Board
Is name was there Earlier…something must be up
The Tunnel is Hallowed and Sacred Ground
Potoa'es mom had to drive some other kids to school
So that’s why we’re still waiting on him. Nothing to worry about.
I thought they couldn't do measurements when they took visits?
Like they cant go through drills either…
I don’t really know. I was just joking about how “official” heights and weights aren’t very accurate.
I figured but wanted to make sure...
high school programs are like reading the National Enquirer
Is it really that surprising?
I doubt BSU can match ND (or the UW) for academics, but on the field, it’s the other way around. Boise’s the top-10 program here, after all.

Ioane
He wanted to pick a school with a great engineeering program. So Boise doesn’t measure up in that regard…so a bit of a surprise.
by John Berkowitz on Feb 3, 2010 9:45 AM PST up reply actions
Don't you think that was related to Parker?
That would make sense to me…
Totally related to Parker
The minute Parker committed Ioane was headed elsewhere
by John Berkowitz on Feb 3, 2010 9:45 AM PST up reply actions
As long as we got one or the other...
Parker is better thought of but Ioane’s film was outstanding…great pick up for BSU.
Lawrence Lagafuiana undecided again
He started crying on the radio yesterday and his mother had to take the phone away from him. He also didn’t show up for the PIAA event today where all the Oahu kids announce and fax in their LOI’s.
We still think he will end up at Washington because that is where his coaches and parents want him to go but he is obviously having a tough time with the thought of leaving home.
Check that
Lawrence has arrived…he was just late. We will see what he decides…
by John Berkowitz on Feb 3, 2010 9:11 AM PST up reply actions
Lawrence Lagafuiana is a Husky
After a little bit of drama over the last few days he has signed an LOI with Washington.

AWESOME BABY

Potoae
Was worried he would change his mind and go to USC. Would need him at DE reallly bad. A great get for SARK
The Tunnel is Hallowed and Sacred Ground
Melvin Davis ???
Maybe he has decided stay close to home because of injury.
The Tunnel is Hallowed and Sacred Ground
Davis isn't injured
He has bad grades.
by John Berkowitz on Feb 3, 2010 9:10 AM PST up reply actions
NO on Kona
Just checked ND website. Has not signed LOI

Ricky Heimuli to Oregon
I don’t think anyone saw this one coming. Most thought it was between UCLA and Utah.
I don’t think it is that big of deal…Potoae is better and Heimuli will go on a two year mission….who knows what type of shape you come back in after that.
by John Berkowitz on Feb 3, 2010 9:47 AM PST up reply actions
Anything on Shirley?
Is it still too close to call?
Hatchie
is he expected later today as well?
by mjthomas88 on Feb 3, 2010 10:06 AM PST via mobile reply actions
Davis?
What’s up with Melvin Davis? Anybody heard anything?
Can you guys get recruits whose name I can pronounce?
Seriously. Micah Hatchie Waialua & Hauoli Jamora Kahuku?? How am I supposed to make fun of them the next 4/5 years if I can’t pronounce their names?
Don't worry...
I’m sure you will learn their names soon enough. For example, when Hatchie is a force on our O-line, creating wide swaths for our running backs, and Jamora is sacking your Duck QB’s, I think you will figure it out.
More the last names
Is it me-ca hi-ta-chi?
by SeattleDucks on Feb 3, 2010 10:21 AM PST up reply actions
Really?
You’re going to try to make fun of our kids for their names? You truly are a Duck fan… No class, just like your coaches and players.
Ummmmmmmm
I was more poking fun at myself for just looking at the last names. Micah Hatchie is easy to pronounce. Simmer.
by SeattleDucks on Feb 3, 2010 10:24 AM PST up reply actions
Still angry?
Trying to lighten the mood and have some fun on a big day for any CFB fan.
by SeattleDucks on Feb 3, 2010 10:30 AM PST up reply actions
Not at you per se...
I’m not angry at you per se. I, like most hard-core Dawg fans, just hate all things Duck…
Fair enough
Nice class shaping up. Its tough being in the NW sometimes. Gotta convince all those socal HS students to come up North to rain and clouds. See you guys on Nov. 6th.

Duck hijacking thread again
Don’t take the bait.
easy now - he's not hijacking. he's having fun talking football

REALLY...
Waialua and Kahuku are where they’re from Brosef.
did you forget...
TUKUAFU, MASOLI, TOEAINA, ETC.
Not a Hawaiian brosef...
I know Maui and Honolulu.
by SeattleDucks on Feb 3, 2010 10:20 AM PST up reply actions
OH BRADDA, NO WORRIES
Just educating you. Oh, and Kahuku and Waialua are located on Oahu (Noth Shore).
Thanks for the lesson
Good luck on the rest of your recruiting class. Shaping up to be pretty good. Better than anything Ty put together. See you guys in the fall!

So now all that's left is Shirley?
Now that Heimuli, Taula, Ioane are gone. Is there still a chance with Schwenke, or is he gone too?
Tough loss
But very comical in the reporting of it.
Arizona
Arizona. Not sure how hard UW was pursuing him though.
Was it him?
With the offer too Pelleur, didn’t Sark say that a linebacker slot opened up?
I am mistaken..
I was thinking of a DT from hawaii.
Lagafuaina
Let’s hope he doesn’t pull the Hawaiian switch on us and go with the rainbow warriors, lol jk!
There was a DT that was deciding between UW and Arizona.
He was going to Arizona..I thought that is who Funiamono was.
hasn't shown up yet...I think he's the only one...?
still….maybe a big finish? let’s all hope!
Who's left?
Unless I missed something, I see the following letters still missing:
Lagafuiana
Stevenson
Timu
Fuimaono
Davis
So, basically Hawaii guys and Davis… Thoughts?
BOO-YAA
Lawrence Lagafuaina Aiea and Taz Stevenson Mililani are Dawgs!
Hell ya!
Now let’s just get those two Long Beach kids and Davis locked up and top it off with Shirley at noon!
Someone..
Floating a rumor that Seastrunk might have decommitted. FWIW.
Ha ha ha!
That would be awesome if it’s true!
At least according to reporters
Oregon is mass releasing the list later. They have a very good class going at this point.
Not that I care.....but ....
where are you getting duckly updates?
No disrespect intended...
I don’t pay attention to wulf football, but how’s wsu’s class?
They lost a couple of kids that they were high on.
..and getting everyone else that they thought they would be getting.
It hink the one ‘surprise’ they are waiting on is Dargan..but most think he is going to Oregon (Since he hasn’t sent his fax yet..and Oregon is releasing the list at 1pm)
Good for us
We’re obviously not pulling huge names, which we never will. We lost Cleveland but just snagged a non-qual from FSU’s class last year that was a top 5 OLB. It fills needs, but as usual it’s going to come down to developing under the radar kids.
Taking a page out of Oregon's book?
Looks to me like the Cougs are taking the approach that they’ll take any good player at this point, regardless of character problems… Wulf must really want to save his butt.
From what I know
He was a non-qual because of grades (cool, that’s nothing terrible) and the checkered past is an arrest for a small amount of weed (football players do drugs?). It sounds as though getting away from where he is and who he’s with could do his life some good.
Risky, but...
It worked for June Jones at UH. He had Brennan, Bess, Rivers, and Grice Mullen to name a few. They did well, but you never know with second chance players.
Schwenke to Notre Dame
ESPN and Rivals are saying he faxed in his letter about an hour ago….so the only real suspense left is Josh Shirley coming up in one half hour.
Any chance of another surprise, a la Cooper Pelluer, such as Sani Fuimaono? Or maybe Maxx Forde switching from WSU? He’s the one Coug prospect who has apparently not sent in his LOI.
It looks like we might have one of our best classes..
..and yet finish 6th in the pac-10
1)USC
2a)CAL
2b)UCLA
2c)Oregon
5th)Stanford
6th)UW
Disagree
I think you have to put us as 2d) given Stanford’s recent loss of Zumwalt and the fact that they don’t have the quality of players we are bringing in…
Ok
I just don’t think there’s any chance we should be behind Stanford and there is at least an argument that we belong in the conversation with some of those others as well…
2d IS 5th....
2a, 2b, 2c, 2d.
I think you were thinking he said 2nd, not 2d, right?

Alot of the pac-10 schools are picking up late big names
Cal pulled a rabbit out the hat and UCLA just snagged Owa
Class Rankings
I think it depends on how they rate the classes. Some sites take into consideration the balance of the class, how it fills a team’s needs, the overall athleticism and flexibility of players and so forth. Others just add up the star values they have assigned, assuming they are even accurate. So, I will put my confidence in the Husky coaches over the recruiting web sites. We seem to be getting some really athletic, smart kids who are also good students, for the most part, and who seem very eager to be here. I’m very optimistic about this class. Some of these guys, like Gilliland, who have been beat up a little, could be very under-rated.
I think it doesn't mean jack in a few weeks when practice starts
It’s nice to look at now, but once players hit the field, throw everything out
almost dead heat with Stanford
but we have a few upside guys. If you drop Pueller and Atoe (our last two offers and both two star upside guys) we leap Furd and Cal and are about even with the Ducks at #2 for star avg.
We also have alot of sleepers, I think our class is honestly 1st if you go based on filling needs and balance of class.
star average is not a good way to evaluate the class
… because the size of the class required this year would force us to have to fill in gaps with “lower star” guys. to do an apples to apples with an Oregon (say they are bringing in 20), you’d have to take our top 20 and compare it to their top 20 to get a better feel for the quality of our class relative to another. That, of course, has serious flaws, but it is still better than “average star rating”.
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.
UCLA just picked up OWA.
I think this solidifies them at 2
Who cares...
we got quality players at every position. We filled our needs and then some. It’s a win for UW.
Davis is out...
Bob Condotta is reporting that Davis won’t sign because of grades. That’s too bad because I think he could have offered a great “big back” alternative to some of our current guys…
Then Shirley will be coming to the UW

Our main compeition was USC and Miami.
Not sure where UCLA came from.
UW got LB recruits as well.
..not sure what your point is. There are 3-4 LB spots.
Kids pick their spots based on other kids that sign

I can't wait
I’ve been following the recruiting on this site like a rabid monkey, waiting for any shred of fresh reports coming out of local highschools about where their kids are headed and today is the big payoff. I think I speak for everyone when I say that if Shirley signs he will be the skull cracking cherry on this already teeth-rattling sundae. Make it so Sark!!
ps. Thanks John,
All your hard work on the recruiting trail is much appreciated!

Christian Thomas just committed to SC...backload of TEs
c’mon Shirley…don’t turn to the darkside. You can start at UW.
I think if Sark knew Shirley was still in play..
..he would have waited a little longer..we will see in 15 minutes.
Sark mentioned Chris Young as a LB during his CBS interview
Could be tipping his hand that he has already moved him to D
Damn!!
:(

How?
Just curious how UCLA suddenly came out of nowhere to steal Shirley from USC, Miami, and UW? I smell recruiting violations…
UCLA did not come out of no where.
UCLA has been around, but it had been rumored that shirley/ucla parted ways.
I guess that's what I was referring to...
I had heard that they were pretty much out of the picture. What changed?

Because this is still a pretty solid class.

Julius Moore?
Since we didn’t get Shirley, any chance they pursue him harder since he isn’t going to sign today?
TEs at USC
I’m so baffled by these kids…why would 3 top end TEs commit to USC…I’m confused
there really are not that many programs left that feature the TE in a pro-style offense.
… USC is a great place to go if you have pro aspirations at that position.
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.
UCLA picks up Anthony Jefferson
..I guess its good he didn’t go to Oregon
it is really unbelievable.
… but, you could see it coming. Many kids want to play in LA. Neu can truly say that he is the better option given the situation of his program vs that of USC. Give the assist to Pete Carroll in converting UCLA’s 2010 class.
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.
Neuheisel's a hoser...and a closer...but....
at least he let Tui play more than just a third and long running Back!
was that a shot at lambright? but.....
Lambright was who recruited him ! You clown!
