Carroll to the Seahawks provides advantage to the Huskies
January 10th, 2010 by nwsportsguyJust got home after a couple beers and contemplating the future of the Seahawks/Huskies. Charles Barkeley is also on Saturday Night Live tonight. He can’t stop laughing during his skit. Is he doing a Jimmy Fallon impression?
I’ve been reading this article which features the impact of Pete Carroll leaving USC for the Seahawks. There are at least three USC commits (out of an already small recruiting class of 14) that have decommitted or are reconsidering their choice of college. Here are some quotes:
Junior college tackle Brice Schwab (Palomar Junior College) has reopened his recruitment after hearing the news.
“I am decommitting,” he said. “Since I am a junior college guy, I am going to return to my junior college and see what happens.
Four Star wide receiver Kyle Prater: “I really don’t know what to say. I’m pretty shocked. I’m just trying to get with my family and my head right,” Prater said. “I’m not going to be in Los Angeles on Monday. It just hurts. I really don’t know what to say. I wasn’t told of anything. I just need to sit down with my family.”
This is good for the Huskies, as these commits will head elsewhere (not necessarily in the Pac 10). If they’re lucky, UW might even land one of them. It will lead to a better power balance and will create opportunities for the dawgs to do well.
If I may quote the Wizard of Oz: Let the joyous news be spread, the wicked old witch at last is dead!
