— Kevin King (@King_kevvoo) July 10, 2015Love the pickup of Oakland LB Camilo Eifler for #Washington, athletic player, tough, physical, keeps getting better http://t.co/BWPKueeyg5
— Greg Biggins (@GregBiggins) July 10, 2015 - Dawgman's Scott Eklund examines what Eifler will bring to the Huskies ($), and Kim Grinolds spoke to Eifler about his decision.
- Eifler's commitment continues the trend of Washington's 2016 class being light on members, but heavy on stars.
With the commit of @_miloeifler THURS at #TheOpening, four of five #UW commits for 2015 class are in the @scoutrecruiting 300. Great start.
— Chris Fetters (@Chris_Fetters) July 10, 2015The narrative that Chris Petersen doesn't target top recruits doesn't hold water. Eifler is CP's 16th Scout 4-star in 1.5 years at UW. ...
— Adam Jude (@A_Jude) July 10, 2015… By comparison, Oregon has 22 Scout 4-stars and Stanford has 17 over same period.
— Adam Jude (@A_Jude) July 10, 2015 - Dawgman's Kim Grinolds spoke to four-star running back and UW commit Sean McGrew at The Opening.

— Greg Biggins (@GregBiggins) July 8, 2015 - OG prospect Michael Eletise trimmed his list to five yesterday, and omitted two California schools—Cal and UCLA—that were widely expected to make the cut. Expect Chris Petersen to fight hard for his services all the way up to signing day.

— Greg Biggins (@GregBiggins) July 9, 2015 - UW receiving target Simi Fehoko will announce his commitment shortly. (The smart money is on Stanford, but then again, you can never tell what's going on in the mind of a teenager.)
