Class of 2017 May Be Barren After All

It’s a tough call at this point. As a matter of fact, the roster is changing daily. And so, it’s win some and lose some. Even now, the Washington Huskies are losing their committed players.  The University of Washington Huskies began the month with five commits and a nationally top-ranked class. Now, the team is down to Daejon Davis and Jaylen Nowell.  Or are they?

Who Remains Standing?

And so, in the mass exodus, only Jaylen Nowell remains. But that being said, even his name is appearing in rumors as seeking his release.

In the end, it could merely be speculation. It may simply be that someone is trying to jump ahead of news in the hopes of “scooping the next player to break rank”.  But the fears of losing all recruits of that lauded 2017 class is a very real possibility now.
