Well, that 'in-home visit' is going to be a tad awkward now, isn't it?
Although with my continual optimistic self, I'm going to say, if the visit is still on, maybe there's still a chance.

I'm not too worried about Parker, UW isn't even recruiting him I don't think. It's between us and Oregon State for Parker.
I think Sarkisian was the best part of that old USC crew.

You win some, you lose some. Sark and UW had been recruiting him for awhile and we almost snuck in and stole him. It's not over yet but the writing is on the wall. If we pickup KT and Juda from Hawaii, we made some significant moves in the Aloha state. It isn't just freebies for UW, AZ, Oregon St. and Utah anymore.
The Dawgs were dogging CU pretty hard, referring to us as an anchor dragging down the PAC12.

I think the boosters were the best part of that old USC crew. Still, your point is well taken, Washington is putting together a solid class.
Unbiased question, you think Sarkisian is bringing the booster model to UW, or is the public school a different animal?

This is why I hate following recruiting news. And I don't mean that as a slight to the posters on here who do great work to keep us informed. Maybe for the Floridas and the USC's and the Texas's of the world recruiting is fun and rewarding. But it just seems to be full of heartbreak and disappointment from what I've witnessed.
I truly think ignorance is bliss. I wish I could have watched the national championship without thinking "Man, we were soo close to landing Emory Blake. If only..." Nowadays, there is so much pressure for the kids to publicize their committments, so much misinformation and so much competition among schools that you're only setting yourself up for disappointment by becoming invested in these kids prior to NSD... Even after NSD it seems to be a crap shoot for buff fans.
That said - as a diehard college ball fan - what choice do you have but to follow along and hope for the best? I can't NOT seek out the information. Is there some kind of a support group for this?

Okay, first the obvious - there is no PAC-12 w/o us.
2ndly, this is the same PAC that qualified 4 bowl teams, right? Yeah, good argument!

And isn't this the same U-Dub team that didn't win a game the season prior to Sark showing up? Wow, you have one 7 win season and all of a sudden you are the creme de la creme

When not on probation, UW is a force in recruiting on that side of the Rockies. Be tough to pull folks out of the PNW and they have solid history with Polynesian players.
I didnt realize they were on probation for most of the last decade. Hawkins won more games than Gilbertson and Willingham combined in 3/4ths the amount of time.
for a reason?

Is Washington Commit Paulay Asiata Colorado Bound?

Is Washington Commit Paulay Asiata Colorado Bound?
Could be huge. Asiata is the #1 prospect out of Hawaii as a 6'5" 285 offensive guard. He and Juda Parker are teammates.
In what could be a more telling blow, Greg Biggins of ESPN Rise reports that OL Paulay Asiata of Honolulu has decommitted and is now likely to end up at Colorado along with teammate Juda Parker.
Here is Biggins' story, and it's an Insider piece so I won't cut and paste. But Biggins quotes Parker as saying that the two want to play in college together and that "it looks good for both of us at Colorado.''' Parker also says that Asiata may have "committed (to UW) too soon, before he was ready'' and that now that he has thought about things more he wants to go to Colorado with Parker. Biggins was in Hawaii last week and said that while there, he also got word from people at Asiata's school that he had decommitted from UW. However, there is also a school of thought that Asiata may just want to wait to make his decision final until Wednesday, when there is a signing day event on the Islands, and that he hasn't ruled out UW.
Obvioulsy, a fluid sutiation worth monitoring until signing day.
Asiata has been regarded as a pretty significant get for UW, considered maybe the top recruit in Hawaii this year. Here's what I wrote about him last week.
