If he was a rated recruit (26th?) I think it is fair to wonder why we did so little to explore his potential.
OTOH, it is certainly 20/20 hindsight, especially since we don't know what contact was made other than issuing an invitation to the camp. Also, it doesn't seem like he had a strong interest in Stanford if he wasn't lobbying in some manner.
Just wondering aloud. The commentators during the broadcast clearly said he was very interested in Stanford, and I think they mentioned he had a brother at the school. They said that Stanford didn't seem interested and he got a lot of love from Washington. Then late in the game, Stanford started to show interest, but were a day late and an offer short.
I don't follow recruiting, save for one day a year, but scratched my head on this one, especially after listening to the broadcast and doing a few minutes of research.
Free Phogge!!!! And no, crimson doesn't refer to the Tide.
