PrintAustin Seferian- Jenkins announced his decision to play football at the University of Washington at a public welcome press conference held at the Gig Harbor Yacht Club this evening. Seferian-Jenkins is one of the top TE recruits in the country. He picked Washington over Texas, UCLA, Alabama, and Florida.
Sark is doing a great job fencing off the state this year. WR Kasen Williams and DT Danny Shelton are the last two big targets left on the in state board and both are considered to be Washington leans at this point. Williams will announce his decision later this month.
"I committed to UW because it was the right fit. I think it is the number one program in the country and is rising. There are great coaches, people and players."
"It was to build hype for UW, said Seferian-Jenkins. No matter what school I went to, no matter what they did or how they did it, it didn't change how I felt. Washington is the best school in the country. I chose them over everyone in the country. I'm ready to get some roses for Washington and UW fans."
"I have been talking to a lot of the guys I met over the summer...I have a lot of them lined up. This is going to be a great class."
"I feel Washington has the best coaching staff in the country, no doubt about it," said Seferian-Jenkins. "That's why great players are coming and more players are there already."
Middleton Headed to Nebraska?
Kavario says on his face book page that he wants to go to Nebraska. If that doesn't work out he would consider Miami. I am hearing that it is just a matter of finding room for him at either place. Wherever he lands he will sit out this season and have two more to play starting in 2011.
The High Price of Watching College Football
College football tickets aren't cheap but Pac 10 fans get the best deal in the country in comparison with the other major conferences according to these series of reports in the Oregonian.
College football tickets: Despite recession, prices to nation's top games cost fans more than ever!
Big Ten Championship Game
Nobody was surprised that the Big Ten championship game will be held in Indianapolis. Delaney also comments that they should have their divisions drawn up soon.
"I wanted to get it accomplished so we could tell our television partner where it would be broadcast," Delany said. "We know the people in Indianapolis, we know they have a great facility, we know they are teed up to have the Super Bowl in 2012 and I said to athletic directors, we're not making this a long-term commitment. It makes a lot of logistical sense."
Big Blue about to be Black and Blue
The NCAA questioned Rich Rodriguez and staff from Michigan for over seven and a half hours in a Seattle hotel on Saturday.
The NCAA has accused Michigan of five major rules violations related to practices and workouts. The allegations came after a Detroit Free Press report that led to investigations by the school and the NCAA. The school admitted in May it was guilty of four violations, but spent Saturday challenging the allegation that Rodriguez failed to promote an atmosphere of compliance.

GO DAWGS.
Way to go Sark!! I never thought we were going to get this kid, always sounded like he wanted to move away from home, and experience life elsewhere, my hats off to Coach Sark.
Sure would be nice to get ASJ, Kasen Williams and Brett Hundley, could be one heck of a recruiting class

"BOW DOWN TO WASHINGTON"
Don't forget about Donny Shelton
Williams and Shelton are the big in-state kids we still need to bring in. Good work Sark.
All I saw was purple
I think John had the insider's knowledge
ASJ we welcome you with open arms kid. Sure going to be a blast seeing you connect on Montana, Price, and Hundley TD passes. Have fun with your last prep season, because come next summer it’s time to get serious. Welcome to HuskyNation! WOOF!!!
All I saw was purple
John's insider knowledge
Sorry Crazi, once again, you are way off base! =)
I’ll bet you you’re life savings that John had typed up one story for ASJ picking Texas, and one for ASJ picking Washington. Needless to say, I’m putting my money on John being well prepared, and not on his “insider’s knowledge”.
"Legends are made on the shores of Lake Washington"
"BOW DOWN TO WASHINGTON"
Who cares Lear?
The news is not about John’s insider knowledge, it’s all about ASJ being a Husky.
“I have been talking to a lot of the guys I met over the summer…I have a lot of them lined up. This is going to be a great class.”
I hope you’re right ASJ … I hope you’re right.
All I saw was purple
REALLY!!!
"I have been talking to a lot of the guys I met over the summer…I have a lot of them lined up. This is going to be a great class."
I’m gonna do more backflips i think…did he say this?

You never know for sure until the kid picks up the hat but most people who cover recruiting were pretty sure it would be UW.

Wow, never underestimate this staff
Last year during the subject of ASJ to UW was a dead issue with several of my insiders in the print media. Around 2 months ago, the same guys started to hint there was a chance for him. My same sources feel Kasen will be next.
Looks like Harbaugh will be leaving the Furd after this season. RichRod is done, irregardless of what happens on the field, too much stink around the program for the loyal blue.
Kavario, best wishes to you in your second chance, Don’t blow it hearing the grass is greener in Neb. I really do hope he gets it straight, so much talent to be wasted.

That is a picture of me doing a backflip and failing after hearing the news!!!

Nice get hope he does not pull a Jones. Now if we can fill in the rest of the class – I think QB is our biggest need – although Williams maybe better prospect at WR.
HUH??
I disagree, I like Hundley….A LOT, but K Will would be a crowning gem. Hopefully we pull em both and climb into the top 10 for recruiting classes in the nation!!

This is a good possibility
Hundley may have been waiting to see if we land either ASJ or Kasen. Now that we have ASJ, could Hundley be coming next? That followed by Kasen? I don’t want to get ahead of myself. ASJ is a great prospect and should not be overshadowed by others on this day.
All I saw was purple
Just reported on KJR
Hundley to be at KWILLs announcement on the 27th…I’m smiling

Early Playing Time
Do you think that was the most important thing or just the overall package. Washington is beautiful while Texas is flat and dull. Seattle is beautiful and completely surrounded by water. Pretty damn unique as far as boating to the stadium and now the old gal is going to get a beautiful face lift! GO DAWGS!!

location and belief
ASJ clearly values his family a great deal and liked the idea of making it easy for them to watch him play. So when Sark convinced ASJ that the UW was back on the road to greatness and that ASJ committing could be a key part of getting the Huskies there, he was hooked. Sark did a great job of selling him on being the hometown hero and being a key piece of Washington returning to Rose Bowls and National Championship contention.
Great recruiting job by Sark.
Sark Is One...
…of the best he runs a precision practice, very efficient.

They just want some more time
Might be looking to recruit others in the meantime, this is a GREAT day.

It's fun to have this kind of optimism around the program ...
No more jonathon stewarts, Taylor Mayses or deAndre Colemans or steve schillings leaving state. We keep our kids at home. Jake, CI, Kavario, Desmond, Jermaine, and Zach started the trend and now it continues.
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.

Not only that...
But we are now breaking down the fences of other states!

We just need to continue doing what we're doing
Keep the best kids home, recruit hard for the top kids in California, comb the islands, and be in on all the best kids in the west. If we continue to do that there is really no need to go national. That’s how I see it anyway…
All I saw was purple
Historically we really don’t get much nationally but it happens from time to time when we are doing well.
Anyway we have plenty of talent to pick from out West.
by John Berkowitz on Aug 16, 2010 8:39 PM PDT up reply actions
Indeed, but...
The way this is going we are now Pulling the top kids from the west in back to back years, I can’t remember the last time we did this. And ASJ as a recruiter, only wanting the Texas scholarship so he could get more national attention on the Huskies for recruiting, kids a genius at 17! This years recruiting class combined with last years recruiting class isn’t stepping stones, it’s friggin pogo sticks! And with the national exposure of Jake, not only will the local kids want to come here now, but more of the national kids seeing what’s going on here will want to come join in..I would think.

I get the hype and that comes along with recruiting well
But the bottom line is we have to keep kids home, recruit the top kids in Cali, comb the islands, and be in on all the best out west.
I’m anticpating that ASJ’s recruiting efforts are in relation to Sarks recruiting efforts of Hundley and Kasen, but that’s just a guess.
Still think we need to get bigger at LB. We are sort of undersized at those positions.
All I saw was purple
Ya, i'm not sure we are recruiting alot of Big LB's?
It looks like they prefer the quicker LB more than the run stuffing LB? Unless i’m missing something.

Some Of Those...
…kids are bigger than they look. I got a roster for the practice I attended and the weight surprise me with some of them.

It's Pretty Cool...
…that the program is rebounding and Jake is a senior and at the controls. Sark has done an absolutely impressive job! I think the ticket sales just bumped up a bit.

Doesn’t like getting played I guess.
What were they doing when they worked the pac for a better tv deal for themselves?
by PandG on Aug 17, 2010 12:12 AM PDT via mobile reply actions
Did they really need ASJ?
Have you seen their incoming class? Every kid is from Texas except for one kid is from Oklahoma. Like I said Texas doesn’t really have to recruit outside the state in order to have a top 3 class annually.
