Inspiring: High school coach pays for recruit's plane ticket out of his own pocket

[Geevis_and_Butthead]

Prize OL recruit Paki Finau will return to UW this month for an unofficial visit, per Doogman

"Finau had hoped to make it back up to Seattle for a spring practice, but finances and flights were causing him some pause, however, a birthday gift from one of his coaches will allow him to make that visit after all.

'My o-line coach was taking (2025 running back) Karson Cox up there for their spring game and since it's close to my birthday, he said 'it's your birthday present' bringing me for my birthday. He'll take me out there and I'll get the chance to watch them practice and spend time with (the staff) again.' "

Sad when after initially feeling good about this story my mind immediately goes to “how will we fuck this up” mode.

Dawgs good as long as the kid doesn't mention the "birthday present" from his coach came in a purple and gold envelope with a card signed by all of UW's coaches
