Husky coaches hosted 7 visitors in their last large visit weekend. They hosted several commits and a few uncommitted players. Among the visitors were:
Alex Cook, a 4 star WR who is committed to UW. He is from Sacramento, CA.
Nick Ford, a 3 star OL/DL is considering Arizona, Colorado, California, UW and Utah. He is from San Pedro, CA.
Ali Gaye, a 3 star DL is considering Arizona State, Louisville, Ole Miss, and UW. He is from Edmonds, WA.
Jake Haener, a star QB who is committed to UW. He is from Danville, CA.
Ariel Ngata, a 4 star LB who is committed to UW. He is out of Folsom, CA.
Cade Otton, a star TE/LB who is committed to UW. He is out of Tumwater, WA. It was previously thought he would come in to play defense but Husky coaches apparently would prefer if he played TE to start his career.
Joe Tryon, a star DE who is committed to UW. He is from Renton, WA.
Here is a photo of Tryon and Gaye:

A lot has happened in the last week in Husky recruiting. Marlon Tuipulotu, a 4 star DL and current Husky commit visited USC this last weekend. Reports are that his family wants him to attend USC and it wouldn't be surprising to see him change his commitment.
Where does this leave UW now? Tough to say, but this is a huge blow for Husky coaches if they lose Marlon. I expect Gaye to commit to UW, and play DT after his redshirt year. Husky coaches might be scrambling to find another DT this class or load up next year on a couple.
A few other items of note:
Several Husky commits participated at the Polynesian Bowl this last weekend in Hawaii. Among them were Keith Taylor, Terrell Bynum, Brandon McKinney, Henry Bainivalu, and Hunter Bryant. Here is a photo of McKinney and Taylor:

Isiah Pola Mao, a 4 star Safety out of AZ, will be announcing this Friday at his school. I expect him to commit to USC.

Next weekend is the last weekend of official visits. Husky coaches may bring in a last minute visitor but no one is scheduled to visit as of yet.
Husky coaches extended an offer to 4 star TE/WR Devin Culp from Spokane, WA. He is a 2018 PSA, and a name to remember.
