One of my favorite ones recently, nice job. The pitch to hometown recruits is a very real thing that Jamal Crawford and others have actually talked about and regretted: it's a 40 year decision, not a 1-4 one. If you plan on staying in the PNW long-term, there are a litany of reasons to stay at UW (barring some sort of Lake/Gilby/Ty HC nightmare rape situation). Pay attention to Fozzy's future and see where his Stanford jock degree gets him. I've posted about this extensively before but there's a very real and perceptible difference between the Stanford jock with his high school 3.3 GPA majoring in Science, Technology, and Society (33% of the student population) vs the freshman nerd with 4.0/1% score who plays 4 instruments and wrote several popular apps before turning 18. You're talking FAANG engineering vs call center reps.[/b]
I still laugh thinking about when the Pac-12 Network hired Toby Gerhart to give studio commentary and he couldn't literally say proper sentences. They'd ask him a question and it was Error 404 in his head.
