Caleb Presley, 2023 4* CB (Eastside Catholic) (COMMITTED)

Our secondary was not good. He looks fast on film. Would be a nice flip. That is my hot take analysis.

They weren’t that far off from having a good game. Balls get completed when you aren’t playing CB’s ten yards off the ball. They had some injuries and played well enough to win.

MSU offense did nothing most of the game. 2 of their touchdowns their QB threaded the needle which you should expect from like a top 3-4 B1G team.

Everything can still needs to improve. DB's closed the game out when they had to at the end.

MSU, mainly their QB and receivers, came through on 4th down, usually with minimal resistance. That was the frustrating thing. 4th down looked disturbingly like the old third down for UW. It's hard to be too confident in a defense that can bring on a lot of 4th and medium or long but can't make a stop.

In the old days where teams punted or tried long fgs on 4th and mid yardage, UW wins that game about 52-0.

They also got bailed out by an illegal snap call that saved them on a failed fourth down and kept the possession (which they ended up scoring a TD on). UW gets that ball in MSU territory the rout is absolutely on.

The game was frustrating from a defensive perspective but they did the two most important things: stopped the run and rushed the passer. I think the rest will fall into place.

I forgot about the illegal snap too. What a fucked up break.

The run defense was boner inducing. Everyone was hitting and hanging on, even the DBs.
 
"Washington is still in pursuit and I told coach Juice (Julius Brown) I would give him a chance to show me he can bring back DBU to Washington," said Presley. "I would say it was a great first impression. I enjoyed watching Washington beat Michigan State. I think what stood out the most were the fans in the stadium. The game was packed out. I wasn’t expecting to see that much purple. I could tell the fans were die hard dawg fans and even came up to me to say what's up."

This is one where we'd be confidently sitting back and waiting for Petersen/Lake to flip him a few years ago. It seems possible still as long as performance by the current corners isn't the linch pin.

I don't know why the current performance of the corners wouldn't be a selling point.

Current performance is "I can see the field early if I ball"

I thought Meesh cleaned it up a bit and he's always solid in run support. We survived Asa being out. No Spartans TD were uncontested. Irvin flashed ..his confidence is rising. We still need quality depth

I got that from his own words, something about UW becoming DB U again, which I took to mean that he needs to see quality cornerback play or at least improvement.

I agree with the concept though. A good HS corner should expect to come in and start if the ones at UW suck, which could be a draw.

Powell had a decent game and tsckled way better, ilk give him that. I also think Irvin might be the best corner on the team right now and it's not because if the pick. He is bigger, faster, tackles better and has better ball skills than the others...I think. But then again I've been waiting years for the chance to say "I told you so" after he's been universally ripped and dismissed here. My eagerness probably means I'm wrong.

I'm hearing it was a really shitty crowd and terrible atmosphere. Zero impact whatsoever, 50-55k tops at its peak. Just embarrassing. Absolutely not a fun day at all.

“I’m offered more money up front in Eugene. I was paid 50k just to drive down there and be told I was going to eat all day. Thought he meant food but Coach Lanning just likes to say it I guess.”

All you have to do is right click on the gif in imgur, "save as video" and your computer will likely even just auto save it as an mp4...

You literally just save it and upload it as an MP4 and Twitter will auto size and convert it as needed...

Oh look here is me tweeting the gif out without doing anything other than right clicking...

Eklund suggested that they might "move away" from 2 or 3 kids who are currently committed.

They do have a couple guys who seem like they were reaches and they could do better if they continue winning

I'll believe it when I see it.

With the portal, it's easier to take more kids per class, give them a chance with coaching and training, and if they're not seeing the field, let them portal to make more room

I doubt they'd try to part ways with anyone committed given the landscape now
