This is the kid that I think is a UW type of kid and he is a type of recuit that other recruits will take notice if he ends up here. A recruit that will keep paying for years to come. Also it doesn't hurt that Partridge has a connection there.

Thanks, Evan. What have kids been saying recently about UW's struggles on the field? Do you get the feeling that its deterring any kids?
I'm terrified a 6 or 7 win season could kill the momentum we've built in recruiting just as we were about to turn the corner.

Hasn't really been brought up. Talked to Collins' coach about that though the other night. I'll post what he said in CC

If he is worried about weather, a high of 49 on Saturday is probably not going to help.

He was here in April and that day was one of the coldest. Can't remember the temperature, but it was pushing 0 degrees with the wind chill.

Don't see rain in the forecast, only high 40's with clouds. That is perfect drinking weather for an afternoon game students will be there.

If they want to play in the Pro's they are going to have to learn to play in lousy weather.

Although we're not getting interviews because of it, I like the kid's focused mentality.

This is so true and would hope it gets brought up all the time.
