Photoshops have really jumped the shark and so glad UW did it.

There is something SEVERELY wrong with this. Someone thought this would be a good recruiting tool?! Even if the kid thinks this is funny(I hope) this does nothing for overall image branding. This is just weird

Haha. Woof.

Good lord that school is pathetic. I guess when purple is your color this is a manly step.

Really...how is this not a violation? Using a player's name and likeness for commercial products?

Every school does it, including your Washington State Cougars, though theirs aren't as hilariously pathetic as the shampoo ads the University of Washington sending out to their recruits. Also, they're not actually selling the shampoo.

Former UW player (and Seahawks hater) Damore'ea Stringfellow is in more trouble with the law. Stringfellow, a former WSU recruit, was reportedly transferring to Nebraska, but then flipped to Ole Miss a few weeks later.

He'll fit right in with the cheaters at Ole Miss.

Scumbag who can't stay out of trouble and chose both UW and Ole Miss--that's what we call a "culture fit."

Funny as hell the only impact playmakers going to UW end up being delinquents. UW would have been much better offensively in '14 if String could have stayed in line. Dude is WAAAY better than Kasen Williams. What a knucklehead.

To be fair, Jerramy Stevens has really helped challenge the idea that UW is a den of antisocial thugs.

FWIW, I'm sure this was an inside joke between the recruit & the coaches. They probably took the pic, then ribbed him about how it looked like a shampoo commercial. The player has retweeted the pic a couple of times, so I would guess he thinks it's funny. Whatever you can do to make an impression and a connection with a recruit I guess.
