There will be a nice pickup in the secondary coming soon

Minshew could have played at Alabama too as a preferred walk on.
Point is that the new DB guy, could easily have gone to Alabama as a preferred walk on, a semi high end 3 star recruit, that would have been a bench player at Alabama.
Basically the DB is probably the same as 3 star Trey Jackson was to USC/WSU.
Trey Jackson was good enough to goto USC, and be a BENCH player at USC, as a 3 star.
Trey Jackson coming to WSU was NOT a BIG TIME recruit, just because he could have gone, stayed at USC, instead of going to WSU.
USC, and Alabama, are usually similar big time recruiting programs.
So similarly a DB choosing WSU over Alabama, is probably not BIG TIME.
The DB is probably a 3,4,3.5 star recruit, that would have preferred walked on or been on the 3 deep bench at Alabama.
Is that a good 3 star recruit? Probably yes. Is that BIG TIME? Probably no.
Seriously doubt the DB is better then highest ended 3 star, lowest ended 4 star at extreme best.
Seriously doubt that the DB is a 4,5 star, BIG TIME recruit, that choose WSU over Alabama.
And even if he, the DB is 4,5 star BIG TIME, seriously doubt that such a 4,5 star BIG TIME recruit would choose WSU over Alabama.
Especially on Defense.
If this was a QB, WR, RB, then maybe this could happen.
But on Defense?
No.
Doubt it.
Your friend, source is probably having smoke blown at him, and he just doesnt realize it.
I will believe it, if I see it.
Also I could see this if WSU under Rolo, Dickert, was winning 8,9,10,11 games a season with a awesome defense, etc
But not in a year where WSU is being picked last in Pac 12.
Like I said I'll believe it if I see it.
Also there has been no word, hint, clue about this on the internet, twitter, facebook, instagram, the media, by the pundits, experts, etc.
If this was happening, in this age, word would get out.
So its probably not going to happen, or the DB is not highly rated.
Wish, Hope I am wrong.
But unfortunately, I am probably right, not wrong about this.
If I am wrong, I'll be very happy
Why type 20 words when you can type 400? FWIW, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not, Skyler is leaving and it wouldn't be that surprising for a young guy to let his ego get in the way. He pulled his name from the portal in the summer, most likely because nobody that he liked was interested in him. My guess is that there was a reason, but it might just be that a 5'9" 175 lb Safety didn't blow anybody's skirt up.
It seems like you are misunderstanding.
1. Not talking about Skylar leaving.
That was known.
2. Not talking about a generalistic replacement of Skylar.
3. Not talking about a 3 star safety
4. Not talking about a 3 star DB choosing WSU over Alabama.
5. Not talking about a DB's ego.
All of that is irrelevant.
What was being talked about?:
1. A poster here saying that a friend or non official source supposedly saying a 4,5 star, or BIG TIME, top rated DB recruit supposedly choosing WSU over Alabama.
2. Its extremely unlikely, improbable that a 4,5 star DB would choose Rolo, WSU, over Alabama, for the extremely LOGICAL reasons that were named.
Like I said, when either a CREDIBLE, official, mainstream media, etc, says that the 4,5 star, BIG TIME DB recruit is extremely likely to choose WSU over Alabama, OR IF a 4,5 star BIG TIME DB recruit actually does choose WSU over Alabama, THEN I'll believe it.
Also in case that wasnt short enough.
4,5 star is BIG TIME.
Less then that is NOT BIG TIME.
NO 4,5 STAR BIG TIME DB recruit would choose WSU over Alabama for Logical reasons named.
So no a 4,5 star, BIG TIME DB recruit isn't choosing Rolo,WSU over Alabama.
I'll believe it if it happens.
4,5 star is BIG TIME.
Less then that is NOT BIG TIME.
NO 4,5 STAR BIG TIME DB recruit would choose WSU over Alabama for Logical reasons named.
So no a 4,5 star, BIG TIME DB recruit isn't choosing Rolo,WSU over Alabama.
I'll believe it if it happens.
It's extremely likely, probable a good 3 star DB, NON big time recruit that could have chosen to be a preferred walk on, or 4 deep bench player at Alabama, chose WSU over Alabama for either a scholly, instead of a preferred walk on, or for the chance to start at WSU.
So says your friend, unofficial, supposedly credible source, since you said it was a friend of yours that was saying this is happening.
NOTHING from, about this from EXPERTS, PUNDITS, RECRUITING SERVICES like ESPN, etc, nothing about this in the mainstream sports media
So until a CREDIBLE, official source says this, instead of you or yoyr friend, then me, others wont believe it.
If you want me, others to believe it, please post CREDIBLE Link or say something LIKE "According to Theo Lawson of the Spokesman Review..." or "Brandon Huffman of Rivals", etc, etc.
Lol @ you thinking Theo is a credible source. And also Lol @ you thinking I care if you believe what I said or not. Proving anything to you is about a zero on my to do meter.
Seems through your previous posts you still harbor a lot of anger towards Rolo for losing out on the Kennedy kids that were never coming here anyway.
I’ll get Blanchette to confirm my source for you.

Theo's opinion's are NOT credible.
But Theo usually does a ok job reporting known facts. Its when he opines that's the problem.
Also I wasnt saying to use Theo, I was just throwing out a example. I could have thrown out any mainstream Sports Journalist name, as an example of citing at least a semi credible, known, mainstream sports media source.
As for Rolo not getting the Kennedy kids, that's irrelevant to the topic.
As to whether I am angry at Rolo, While I was disappointed, think he shoukd have gotten at least Shumpert, Alexander, think he blew that, that's in the past.
My point is very simple. Any rationale logical person will get, that a 4.5 star, 5 star DB, logically isnt going to choose Rolo, WSU, sucky WSU defense, that is picked to finish last in Pac 12, over Alabama.
Also most logical people get that even if such a thing were to extremely unlikely happen, that it would be front page news everywhere, and we would all know about it by now.
And most logical people get, that the only way me, others, most people, etc, are going to believe something like that happening, is if it either happens, or a credible source puts it out there.
And just so you know, you and your friend isnt a known, official, credible source, etc, so wont be believed ablut something like a 5 star choosing WSU over a Alabama.
I know you dont care whether people believe you and your friend, on whether a 5 star is choosing WSU over Alabama.
But if your going to say that your friend says that a 5 star DB is choosing WSU over Alabama, then dont be surprised, shocked when someone says they wont believe it until either it happens, or a credible source confirms it, and thus dont be shocked if someone ask for a credible link, an or wont believe it until you post a credible link, citation.
I coukd care less whether you care or not.
My point is either post a credible source, or me, others wont believe it, whether you care about that or not.
You’re ascribing actions to me I haven’t made I don’t care or not care what you think. You are free to feel or think what you want. I simply won’t say the kids name until it’s official, which is ironically kind of what you are asking me to provide.
That would be more likely.
But if that is what is happening. Thats not likely BIG TIME.
If a 4.5 star recruit signs with Alabama, gets stuck on the 5 deep charts, then transfers to WSU, to get more playing time, thats either not BIG TIME, or Shouldnt be considered BIG TIME.
So that could be believable, that maybe his friend was saying, meaning that a 4.5 star, BIG TIME player signed with Alabama, got stuck on the scout team, chose to transfer to WSU, chose WSU over Alabama, when he could have stayed on Alabama's scout team.
But thats not a BIG TIME get for Rolo/WSU.
Skyler was prone to huge errors last year. I blame coaching for getting him out of position, but when you see film of a guy blowing coverage resulting in 60+ yd TD's and you have more than 1 of those... Teams are going to be shy.
Oh I believe that Chugs was, is spot on that WSU got a DB recruit.
I just dont think that recruit is a 4,5 star, BIG TIME recruit that chose WSU over Alabama.
And I believe if the DB recruit is, was a 4.5, 5 star recruit that chose WSU over Alabama, that it's a 4.5, 5 star recruit that signed with Alabama, ended up on Alabama's Scout team, and Transfered to WSU after 6 to 18 months on Alabama's Scout Team to get more playing time at WSU, and that either way, he the DB recruit, altho might technically have been a technical 4.5,5 star recruit, isnt a BIG TIME recruit, or shouldnt be considered a BIG Time recruit
BIG TIME RECRUITS DONT CHOOSE WSU OVER ALABAMA.
The EXCEPTION would be if John Bledsoe had been a 5 star, Big Time Recruit, he probably would have chosen WSU over Alabama, because of his connection to WSU.
So yes Chug is probably right in some ways about the DB recruit, except about the DB recruit, supposedly being a BIG TIME recruit
The DB recruit is probably NOT a BIG TIME DB recruit, and didnt choose WSU OVER Alabama.
I just dont think that recruit is a 4,5 star, BIG TIME recruit that chose WSU over Alabama.

Heard this guy had a name implying he would be a USC lean, but there are potential Achilles issues. (This will only make sense to weirdos who care about the name of a prince who played a key role in the Trojan War.)
By the time Miks done talking about it he will have graduated...
Ayden Hector got dumped by Stanford for a good reason.
Would be a perfect for the Sweeney/Walden era.
Why not bring Kenny Greene and Jason Gesser back to coach?
Gesser coaching for Tracy Ford in Tacoma recently.

i read his case and disagree. He was an accessory to a horrible situation, but he didn’t participate. I don’t think he deserves to have his life ruined based on what I read.
Stanford knows what they are doing.
Doubt Kassiday Woods ends up there either (even if it were academically possible).
Stanford pulling the offer could be on a number of things that don't merit life-ruination status for someone, and that alone shouldn't damn his career or life or even impugn his character or reputation.
E.g., the AD, Shaw, or someone else of influence just not liking it (the AD has been pretty outspoken on some things, including saying he was willing to pull Stanford out of big-time athletics if players start getting paid, etc.), or some kind of policy.
Point being, it may have been as simple as them saying "screw it, there's some uncertainty and unsavoriness here, if nothing else; we just don't need this ... let's move on to the next guy on the list" in this case, not "holy crap, there's stuff in this file that paints a picture of this being a horrible person who should not be on a college campus." Not saying it's one way or the other, just that the mere fact Stanford pulled the offer doesn't necessarily make the case.
Article by Geoff Baker in Thursday Seattle Times on illicit showcase at a Tacoma middle school.
Ford went on a tweet storm.
Love how he paints himself as an innocent bystander, just pointing the kids in the right direction.
Yarrow Point
Why not just bring back Jason Gesser as his life coach/mentor?
First good year w/o incident he is into the Portal - probably to Nebraska or to the SEC.
CJ Mizell got Paul Saban his only legit win, so there's that.
He also dropped the race card in his tweets.
Should've moved this to a legal state (ID? MT?).
Inslee won't be around much longer (win or lose), some of the people Ford may have double crossed by using their fields, will be.
Wonder how much Butch Gunchafoff or Gesser got for this?

The withdrawal came after the school sought details about his involvement in a months-long police investigation two years ago.
