Washington Husky Signing Day 2017: 5 Things To Watch For
By Bret Stuter
Will Washington Husky Class of 2017 Lose Any More Commits?
The University of Washington recruiting class of 2016 has been “poached” twice already. The first time was the opportunity sprang from the interest of Connor Wedington to attend Stanford. When he discovered that he could do so, he pulled his commitment from Washington and committed to Stanford.

Defensive tackle Marlon Tuipulotu was a different matter. Based on his rapid enrollment for spring classes, he wanted things to start happening NOW. USC gave him that opportunity. Now he is beginning his journey sooner, rather than later.

In summary, I believe both cases were extraordinary conditions. While not as rare as it seems, flipping a prospect is still uncommon. With two attritions in the 2017 recruiting class, it would seem that the UW coaching staff are becoming painfully aware that other schools will target their prospects as their football team continues to improve in the national rankings.
National Signing Day is February 1st. In the span of 24 hours, most colleges, and thousands of young men, will commit to a shared dream. Each side entrusting the other to bring other the most in the other. A team is only as strong as the sum of it’s parts.
