Not trying to be a ****. Hopefully he likes what he sees at CU. That's some tough competition.

Hmm, makes me wonder if he did de-commit or if Udub dropped him for some reason? Odd.
He de-committed.
Nothing wrong with that, and I find it applaudable.
UW is still very much in the mix, but he will take all of his official visits....
UW did not drop him, he's still high on their board...
Where'd you read that UW is still in the mix? Didn't really get that impression.
He himself has been quoted as still liking UW in his interviews for Scout. He's never stated he is no longer interested in UW, merely just not committed...
He wants to take official visits and take time with his decision is what I'm gathering.
Thanks

Greg Biggins tweeted the other day that he thinks UW and Babiash cooled on each other.
EDIT: small snippet from Scott Ecklund:
-- Poway (Ca.) CB Derek Babiash - according to those I've spoken to, UW has moved on and is no longer recruiting him. I was holding off on reporting the info (I got it last week), but Babiash dropped that in his latest update with Greg Biggins. According to the person I spoke to, UW has been pretty unhappy with how things have gone down with a couple of guys who committed early and then de-committed shortly thereafter to "see other schools". According to the person I spoke to, UW will only hold scholarships for a select few (see below), but apparently they feel comfortable with some of the other guys they are recruiting and they wanted to make a statement. Apparently they have.

No clue, but my fingers are crossed that it's solely a difference of philosophy between him and ***** Rodriguez.
Nobody seems to really know. There are suggestions that he didn't see eye to eye with the AZ staff, there might have been a request by coaches for a position change from CB to S, or he could have been recruited over with 5 DBs coming in. All were floated by Arizona fan, none with much evidence.
in any case, he played nine games as a true frosh, so he is probably pretty good as his 4* high school rating suggested.
If he played 9 games last year he still has his RS year. From our standpoint if he is that good I'd rather have him on our roster than risk him going to a JC, using up a year of eligibility, and being free to go elsewhere at the end of the year.
I guess I mean better for him. Doesn't a player who transfers in conference have to sit out 2 years?
Just a year late!
I think that was just a Big 12 rule.
Here's the rule, but I'm not exactly sure what it means.

Here's the English version from a CU "Transfer out checklist" :
*Pac-12 Intraconference Transfer Rule: sit a year, lose a year of eligibility and cannot receive financial aid (if recruited and received financial aid at CU)
In other words... transfer within the PAC12 is not likely to happen
*Pac-12 Intraconference Transfer Rule: sit a year, lose a year of eligibility and cannot receive financial aid (if recruited and received financial aid at CU)
In other words... transfer within the PAC12 is not likely to happen

So it looks like a kid only has to sit out one year, losing a year of eligibility which would usually be their RS year. The interesting part is that they can't give athletically related financial aid, in other words no scholly.
