Notre Dame is getting an official visit, but he's reserving his last OV for Washington. He hasn't named his final 3 OVs, but it looks like UDub is in the driver's seat here.

 

[Duff Man]

I still think UDub lands him in the end, but he was offered by USC this week, which puts them very much in the conversation.

Notre Dame.

Huge blow for Washington.

I don't look at any Washington message boards, but I'd imagine their fans must be frustrated with the way this class is going for them (or at least concerned for the time-being until they land some between now and Signing Day). They've obviously got some nice verbals, but considering that Sark has just completed his third season in Seattle, I'm sure they were expecting the type of huge class that would further cement their ascendancy as a serious competitor in the North.

As a side note, Samson's verbal was fantastic enough simply on its own, but beating out UW made it that much sweeter after Erich Wilson jumped to them.

I think Husky fans are the most fickle, illogical and insecure that I've come across in reading the message boards.

Half seem reasonable, half want Sark fired immediately. It's pretty comical...

You're welcome to abandon your alma mater and join us, full-time, here at this refuge of logic.

Notre Dame - where talent goes to die.

Washington has failed as miserably as we have this year in-state

I thought half never wanted Sark in the first place and really wanted Mora.

I've noticed that the haters just voice there opinion over and over and over so it gives you the impression there is a much larger voice than really exist. For example, Jimmybuff and buffsyko's multiple threads after every game this season

I'd be willing to bet the Washington media outlets don't have a smear campaign against UW going on either.

Actually I have seen a few articles from local outlets lamenting their struggles in-state.

I guess I could see that with Sark being in his third season now.

 

[Cornh8er]

Did anyone see his outfit for his announcement???
