That being said I think he ends up being an impact DE.<BR/><BR/>Another commit that was expected was confirmed on Dawgman tonight. Huskies ended up going 6-6 last weekend.<BR/><BR/>New Scout ratings are out and Washington is currently rated #34 in the country, 4th in the Pac behind USC,UCLA, and Oregon. This is where we ended up last year, but we have a bigger upside this year and I am predicting a finsish inside the top 20.John Berkowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506119469461963535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769884.post-1165424822076106832006-12-06T09:07:00.000-08:002006-12-06T09:07:00.000-08:00Sorry, I meant dawgman.com although I didn't speci...Sorry, I meant dawgman.com although I didn't specify it for anyone new to john's blog. If you are new, I recommend visiting this site often as well. It's not competition for dawgman, but a different perspective, which is always welcome.<BR/><BR/>I was bummed that I had to work late today and missed chat, but I had plenty to read on the boards, and you're right, there were a lot of happy and surprised fans.<BR/><BR/>I agree with your reasoning on why it's happening but also feel that kids know that playing time is available as we're thin in a lot of areas. Thanks for the tease on the lineman. :) Do you think Aldrich ends up at OT?<BR/><BR/>I'm hoping we learn from the tapes of the WSU victory and wonder if the son's a better coach than the father...not that dad was bad. From what I read it will hinge on turnovers and that could do us in.hairofthedawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15101240940373516922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769884.post-1165423885594691052006-12-06T08:51:00.000-08:002006-12-06T08:51:00.000-08:00Last night was fast, and furious in the Dawgman ch...Last night was fast, and furious in the Dawgman chatroom. I haven't seen it like that in some time pre signing day. The fans are very hungry for good news, and we all got some very good news last night with more coming in the immediate future. Expect at least one nother commit this evening.<BR/><BR/>Why is this happening?<BR/><BR/>Spots are drying up at Washington right now. They have 15 known commitments, and 4-5 others who are ready to pop. That would leave only 9-10 spots left for the entire class. Kid's are scrambling to get those spots.<BR/><BR/>Another interesting development is that Washington is in on around four linemen on both sides of the ball that are highly rated, and are unknown to the public. We should be finding out if they can get visits out of those guys in the next few days.<BR/><BR/>We have two big weekends left, this coming, and the one right after New Years. At this point we are looking good but need to finish stronger than we have started. Last nights verbals were a step in that direction.<BR/><BR/>The UW/Gonzaga game will be big of course because you have two top 25 teams from the same region playing a Saturday game. I think if both were undefeated it would add a bit more to it. I was surprised the Zags lost to WSU, but WSU is improving, and the Zag's were due an off night after some big victories.John Berkowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506119469461963535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769884.post-1165422484363716722006-12-06T08:28:00.000-08:002006-12-06T08:28:00.000-08:00It's certainly been interesting watching the shift...It's certainly been interesting watching the shifting attitudes on the boards and especially nice to see all the traffic on the recruiting one. John's very correct in recommending them if you want recruiting info. <BR/><BR/>I wasn't expecting such good new until next weekend, but it's always welcome. Like a lot of others, my current concern is the big guys, but with this momentum, I'm looking forward to what's to come.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if I agree completely agree with you about the luster being taken off the UW/Gonzaga matchup except in the national scheme of things. I think both teams are now even more focused on the game and it should be even better than anticipated.hairofthedawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15101240940373516922noreply@blogger.com
