Pipelines

[Fishpo31]

Huard and Smalls = 2 of the top 6 highest rated recruits at UW since they've been keeping track.

I still want to believe Sam can be good. I have nothing else to go off other than his name and stars, so it's pure doogish hope, but if he's not backing up Penix next year it's over.

His high school film was so good too. He was so accurate. I had such high hopes for him to be our big dick lefty gunslinger by this point.

The speed of HS and the speed of college are vastly different and a major reason why some HS phenoms can't translate to the next level. Even though he's more talented than DMo, Morris sees the field since he's more capable.

I saw this up close and personal...I played football in HS, in a good league with and against guys that went on to play in college. My first JUCO baseball corch gig, I was on the chain gang for home games (when WA still had JUCO FB). I was stunned at the speed, size and strength of the players. The closing speed, the violence of the collisions, the athleticism was nothing I had seen before, at the JUCO level. I had sideline passes a few tims at the Greatest Setting, and comping it to JUCO, it was about X 10...

Puyallup was king when Billy Joe and the Huards roamed the sidelines

Who can forget, and I quote legendary broadcaster Brent Musburger, the “Pally-oop connection” of Hobert to Kralik.

Another Puyallup Viking is Dane Looker.

Looks like Bellevue HS was shaping up to be a fruitful pipeline until Butch Goncharoff got pinched for being ahead of his time on the NIL front. I didn’t include Eastside Catholic despite multiple signees over the years because JTT and other highly coveted buddies told us? to fuck off

Eastside Catholic really wasn't that good until relatively recently.

Three High Schools in less than a mile is just poor planning.

Two school districts, plus a ton of developable land within an urban growth boundary led to this. Eastlake is in the Redmond-Kirkland centric Lake Washington School District while Skyline is in the Issaquah School District. The Sammamish Plateau is almost divided equally in half due to this.

Private school Eastlake Catholic relocated to this area because of available land and the more child friendly demographic of the area.

Pro Tip: I don't (well, didn't) even think about going anywhere near the plateau M-F, from 1:00-5:00. The traffic was ungodly, and if you've been there, you know...
