The two Hatchett Brothers. One will be a soph, not sure about the older one. Landed played in 9 games. 6-2' 310
Oh, and USC needs a starting C? Perfect. UW has one just your size. His name is Parker Brailsford. He was a RS Frosh this year so he comes to you with 3 seasons of eligibility left. Though be warned, if he's really good he could leave after next. And if he's unhappy he could still leave these days. Parker started 15 games for UW as a Center on a National Champ Runner up playing in fromt of and protecting the true Heisman winner.
Anyway, 3 years eligibility, proven winner and a center. What in the world is USC waiting for? With Saban retiring, UW and UA having coaching moves, USC should have LOADED up at all 3 schools and be completely rebuilt by now. Shoot, cut a few guys. Not like they don't cut you at the first chance to Ca$h in.
Suprised to see the Hatchett brothers in the portal. I met the family and talked with the dad a few times at a tournament. Never saw him (dad) not wearing either a Husky shirt or bb cap. They are all huge Huskies fans. UW fanatics who attended UW games years before either of their boys signed with the school.... Landon took a mid week recruiting trip to USC last year. As I posted here on this board, USC had little to no chance on signing him. Dad told me he was going to UW with his brother, "100%"... also, dad played college fb at a small school,,, can't remember which school, but it was not D1
If the new coach works hard to keep them, I think UW has a chance to retain. The family lives a little over an hour's drive from the stadium. Maybe they're thinking NIL money will pay for their weekend trips to their new school of choice.... SMH, I think this could be a prime example of how NIL is hurting our game. Thanks Lexo
Brailsford is gone. The Hatchett boys are Washington born and bred. They are not seeking payday. They are just hedging their bets about new regime.
The center along with the corner are visiting ALabama as we speak...Today Bama got their QB Mack...expect some QB's from Bama to enter the Portal but Riley is trying to get the Alabama decommit at WR to visit..
Brailsford is visiting Bama this weekend along with UW's cornerback.
Riley has no idea who any of these kids are. Building the roster is beneath him.
