Willie Sykes flips

[ElComanche]

To Nebraska is the latest word. No confirmation yet. Word is that the cougs are bringing in a DL, a new CB and LB prospect this weekend? No confirmation on that yet

 

[CougPatrol]

There is confirmation on the Nebraska site. He's gone.

To those that have been wondering...THIS is why we are welcoming more than 25 commits. There is going to be a lot of action in the next week.

 

[ElComanche]

yeah Jonal Moi,Burnett and Dahu Green are being sought by some big schools. Hopefully they will stay. It is going to be tough to hang onto these guys. However it turns out,Leach and his staff have done a great job of recruiting and the cougs have landed some excellent players.

 

[froropmkr72]

Down to 82 on the roster and maybe 81 or 80 before the day's over with.

There are two new coug offers out to Brandon Hayes a 6'4 240-255 pd senior DE out of New Orleans with 4.8 speed He is quick and has committed to USF. Also tyler Horton a 5'11 -180 CB thought to be headed to Boise State has received a coug offer, They may both may visit this weekend perhaps with another LB not yet identified. this crazy recruiting. Hayes on video looks great and i hope they can land him Miss st has also offered

Those offers went out months ago, for what it's worth.

No, and he's not visiting. The staff hasn't recruited him for quite awhile.

 

[ElComanche]

Well if they visit then it does not matter. Horton Shows a coug offer but Hayes did not. Hayes is one i really like. He ,not sour grapes,looks to be quicker than the DT we just lost. I believe that he has a greater upside than DF whom will be turned into a O lineman by ASU ,much to his chagrin.

Both prospects show Washington State offers and they were offered back in October. Neither of them are visiting this weekend. There are a number of guys that I have added to the visitor list for this weekend, but that information is in the War Room.

You are are probably right. i guess my sourced are wrong. The knothole Gang will have to dig further to find the names. it seems like recruiting is exploding and many rumors and half truths are coming out. It should be an interesting next week.

Obviously really impressed with the recruiting, especially this year, but I am continually gobsmacked to find yet another "Recruit X flips from WSU to Y School" every time I navigate to a Coug website. Right now on Brand Y, 3 of 4 'inset' photos link to stories about recruits flipping to bigger schools. Like most, I'm sure, I can't wait until WSU is no longer considered an Insurance Policy to the most talented recruits.

 

[MRICoug]

Not seeing a number of guys, only see one. Am I looking in the wrong place?

You can say SB Nation or CougCenter. Personally, I'm not worried about the flips, we get our share coming our way. What I don't like, is sites like CougCenter that try and make things a bigger issue than they are. It's something you'd never see from sites like Dawgman.com. Their number one goal is to move the ball forward for UW athletics. They report nothing negative on the front page while winding down the recruiting season. Why? Because it's not helpful to UW football. They also don't owe non-payers negative information. They do however reveal things in the members only area with strict rules about posting it on the free board. I really dislike those guys, but I respect what they have built on that site.......

I actually don't think this is that big of a loss. His highlights didn't impress me too much. Good luck to him.
