Talks roughly half the time about UW and basically says osu has a large alumni base and for ou he just says Williams threw with him.
Made it clear he's thinking about life after football and Seattle sets him up for that well and also that being the hometown guy is big.
JT
You have Emeka talk about his strong relationship with Junior and says he LIKES Jimmy Lake (no real conversation on their "relationship"), but when it shifts to Ryan Day he immediately mentions how they talk every other day.
Combine this w/what's in the JT thread and there's a pretty clear picture of the relative weights the head coaches are putting in.
He also talked about lake being the one who went to see him first and had CP offer. Junior was not only mentioned for his development (his words) he also said junior was more than a coach to him more like an uncle. So

Recruits also feel obligated to say nice things, perhaps VERY nice things, about the people whose careers about to get fucked by their commitment decision. Food for thought.

If his Grandparents ARE big UW fans and he IS announcing on Friday because its their 50th anniversary, it would be a bit of a slap in the face not to choose UW. Just my logic but I dont know how teens think anymore

The grandparents thing is kind of a positive, but nothing from that interview gave any indication what school he was favoring

Sonics saying on BDTW that it's not UW. FWIW.

Yes, yes, but what does @Ballz make of it?

If it’s not Ohio State, Huffman won’t change his crystal ball pick until Friday so that doesn’t mean anything.
If OSU is his choice, Emeka is 100% a smokescreen kid. First with the UW sweatshirt then the Oklahoma “likes” on Twitter. He’s no doubt having fun with it and trolling everybody right now which is fine. He’s done a masterful job keeping everyone guessing. Most of us would do the same.
Yes, I’m an optimist and sometimes a relentless doog but I’m also just looking at the facts here people. A long time ago he slipped up and referred to UW as “us” in an interview. Mom favors UW and was seen in public wearing a UW hat. He was photographed wearing a UW sweatshirt a week ago. Mom didn’t go with him on his trip to Oklahoma. And now he’s making his announcement on his grandparent’s anniversary. I don’t know about you, but if I’m honoring my grandparents with my commitment, it’s because the school I’m going to will allow them to easily see me play in-person every home game and road games in Oregon as well. Also, it’s not always what you see, but also what you don’t see sometimes. We used to see guys like Sam Huard and Jalen McMillan publicly peer recruiting Emeka. And then at some point, all of that completely stopped. Could that be because he’s been a silent commit to UW for a while now? Maybe. Did he post a Mother’s day tweet with a photo of him and his mom on a UW visit?
Sure did. Maybe silently committing to UW was a gift to his mom? Also, he sure has been hanging out with Sam Huard and UW commits and targets lately. That’s interesting as well. Point is, there has been a lot of smoke pointing to UW for a long time that has either been ignored or missed by “insiders” who cover Oklahoma and OSU.
That’s why I think he’s gonna shock the world as another hometown hero Friday. My DAWG senses are tingling. When have I ever failed you guys before? This is another Roger Rosengarten. WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!
When will the ceremonial offer to the 2* WR with offers from Utah State and Fresno go out?
