That tweet was made before Nacua committed. The number for UW now is 43.
And we've landed the Offensive and Defensive MVPs of the poly bowl. There is no denying it. Huskies are flat out balling at recruiting right now.
I've always preferred average, but I do get the value in numbers.
Your in that group when it comes to recruiting, your hitting it at an elite level. And look at total offers as well. The fact were landing classes like this, with some of the lowest total offer numbers, is incredible.
So happy with how this class all came together. Just sit back enjoy the ride. The next couple seasons is gonna be golden years for this program. Go Dawgs!!!!
When I watched his film he looked physically similar to Dante and something like him when he came out of highschool, but Pettis turned into a very solid route runner and Puka isn't there yet. He's got fantastic instincts and I like his jumps/high points and sideline awareness. He made a few catches that were NFL quality on the sideline/endzone. He's got good hands too.Puka Nacua and the Winding Road of Receiver Recruiting
"247 compared him to a young Dante Pettis. It’s everything Husky fans could have wanted."
Promise I didn't know this before I drew the comparison lol. Very similar skill set based on Nacua's highlights.
Pretty sure I read somewhere that he led the nation in receiving yards. He had something like 100+ catches, 2000+ yards and 25+ TDs. Pretty incredible and the highlight reel speaks for itself.
As for overall ranking and recruiting in general, it has been steadily improving, but if you want to make that next big leap you have to have a payoff somewhere on those big national stage types of games and so far those haven't been coming. Turn the corner, beat someone in a big time bowl, win a playoff game at least, and those 5*'s will come more into play.
