Seeing some speculation that (ironically) UW's NIL might be getting used as leverage to get more out of other schools. Wouldn't be surprised if he is thinking about staying in the south but also trying to get the most out of UW that he can. Someone needs to send him video of the holes Taualapapa ran through last year and of Pac-12 defenses.
Someone on the MSU bored said the only reason he's looking at UW is NIL $.
I'll take that notion with a giant grain of salt
Seems like Bulldooging. A RB with his skillset doesn't want to play in Deboer's offense instead of sticking around in Starkville with a new coach?
He's quoted in saying he likes UW but there's work that needs to be resolved:
“It’s more to do with family stuff. We’ll just try to figure that out and go from there. It’s up to Washington, really. It’s all in Washington’s hands. I’m just looking to see what they are trying to do. I’m not rushing them because I really do like Washington. We’re just trying to get some kinks out right now.”
Not sure what that means but maybe the family wants flights from TX to WA to see the games? Or maybe they need a house?
