A slightly stronger academic profile, can assert it is in the land of Microsoft and the aeronautics industry, and has a proven head coach who will likely keep the program near the top of the PAC-12 North as long as he is there.
(I can imagine there will be some scoffing about the academic remarks, but it may not take much to convince some recruits from the northwest who may be serious about both academics and football, and truly torn about leaving the region. Before this season I would have expected Foster Sarell to be a sure Stanford guy once admitted. Now...fingers crossed)
Yeah, we are 0-2 against Washington in Pacific Northwest recruiting this year. I sure hope Sarell doesn't make it 0-3.
As far as proximity to home is concerned, Molden did mention the fact that Washington was only three hours up the freeway was a big plus for him.
Also, based on his stay at Boise State, I don't expect Petersen to hop to the NFL any time soon.
