Julien Simon, 4* 2021 ATH, Tacoma (Lincoln), WA (Offered 6/22)

SC put Donte Williams on Simon. That guy vs Gregory in recruiting is gonna be a joke. Donte is definitely the new Tosh in the Pac. He was recruiter on all the big name kids Oregon got the last couple years. Wish Jimmy would have taken a swing at him since he was obviously more than willing to leave the ducks

The word is USC gave Dante $900k/year. He made ~$500k with bonuses at Oregon. For his specialty, recruiting, USC is a much better job than either Oregon or Washington. So at that point you have to pay your CB coach a million bucks. It’s what the big boys do, but Pac-12 public school admins will shit themselves at the thought of that. And Oregon preferred keeping Heywood, who is an excellent recruiter and actually coaches the players.
 
Have we ever had a spring these last six years where recruiting wasn't a complete shit show in dire straights?

Jimmy was most likely told to cut salaries because washington
 
I said it a year ago...this kid isn't going to be very good. He's slow twitch everything and not explosive. Other than he's from the state and best friends with JT....he's going to be a JAG. Take screen shots and call me in 3 years.

I generally agree with this. He is likely way overrated and we dont know how many schools are actively persuing him. I want him because hes an instate kid and is highly rated. If we get Wynden as our one ILB this class then, from a player potential perspective, we did better than taking Simon as our ILB. However, this just seems like a time where you go ahead and take 2 ILBs just because you dont want to turn away a high rated local kid. Space isnt THAT tight.
 
You take this local kid every fucking time. Then you look at the additional ties, the current perception as well as the current class and you go do whatever you have to no ballz to get his kid committed.
 
Is he really gonna tell mama that he’s leaving on Mother’s Day?

Will he be worse than Cooper Macdonald? Bruener? Phonzo Tuputala? Or Jackson “Clydesdale” Sirmon?

All of this coming off the worse LB year in Husky football history.

I love how he’s not good enough for UW, but he is for USC.

But sure, he’s a pass. We don’t need him.

God I hate this staff. We’re officially middle tier PAC-12, the worst P5 conference in the nation.

Who gives a fuck? Figuring out if he’s going to be good or not isn’t any kind of science that anyone is good at. Did you give a fuck if he was good enough for USC last year? Because their class was a fucking shit show. Or the year before...?

If this 40 year old mother fucker wants to come to UW, then great. I’m sure he’d be a solid role player in the next 2 years and then possibly be good in his 3rd year in college. He can do the same at USC right now...that’s where we are at.
 
If the coaches really want him, I'd point out John Ross, Shaq Thompson, Will Dissly, and Kaleb McGary all played at multiple positions and all got drafted. That is, come in, see where you fit best.
