Sawyer Racanelli 3* WR/LB 2020, Brush Prairie (Hockinson), WA (COMMITTED)

This is one of the problems with WA State football.
High school football fans screamed that this kid was a can't-miss player.
Have a feeling this the player from Yelm last year will be a similar disappointment.
Big fish in a small pond types like the Union receiver aren't worth spending the amount of time and money they seem to be entitled to.
Um, 2A football in WA has produced some of the top and best talent. Otton, Rapp, and Egbuka are a few examples. Some of the best players at Eastside and O'dea would likely be on 2A teams had they played for their local school. JTT being an example. As for Platt, again, Yelm beat all star teams such as EC and Odea to state title. Part of that is due to growth in Yelm, but they were legit contenders with him. I hope he fizzles out unless he transfers to UW in which case I'll doog.

Kyler Gordon and Abe Lucas for Archbishop Murphy in Everett.
 
Some confirmation bias here. Some guys just don’t pan out, there are plenty of those from out of state, bigger schools, etc. I don’t think this guy was a bad take.

You're right. He looked good. Sometimes they just aren't.
