Interesting Bigelow quote following his UW visit.

"The visit to Washington made me want to check out some other schools and make sure of my final decision."

UW's gutty black out win over the mighty Bruins wasn't enough to seal the deal for him?

He's got some serious speed.

Same, it's big he's visiting us, I think that could seal the deal. It'll be interesting though how our depth chart will play out. We'll have 2 JR RBs, 2 redshirt FR RBs, and then potentially an incoming FR (Bigelow). Certainly a redshirt candidate especially with his injury.

Isn't Bigelow being looked at as a possible WR / RB / TZR type? I think he would fit in fine with our depth chart and style of play, especially if he RS's.

As far as I know, he's being recruited solely as a RB. But I'm sure if the DC is really stacked at RB, they'll find ways to get guys like Bigelow on the field.

He's being looked at to play the RB spot. Jhop has said a few times that the coaches think Bigelow could be better that Lache, and he would more than likely be a 5* if not for injuries.

If he pick the ducks, it make me believe that he is aware of rb depth and aren't afraid of competiton when his time is up. He probably see himself really explosive playmaker in chip's offense.

Much the way Pleasant was shifted to make room for Bo & Josh, I see the coaches moving Barner to slot/tzr to make room for Lache and Dontae. Barner is bigger than Sumler, (only question can he block?). Maehl and DJ gone leaves alot of playing up for grabs.

Well I think the key here is to "trust the coaches."

I know its a cliche... but as we have seen with the Lee/Walls/Olomu situation, the coaches are seeking top flight talent but not at the cost of logjamming some positions while leaving others bare.

Because of the type of guys Kelly is recruiting, you have to think he knows where they will play.

Kelly announced the TZR position at the beginning of last year, but we've hardly seen it in action.

However, guys like Barner and Huff and Sumler are obviously TZR players, so I think we will see a feature back (LaMike, Williams, Seastrunk) along with another guy back there (Barner, Huff, Bigelow). The TZR will be like a 2nd RB but with a more diverse playbook.

Would be pretty sweet if we could steal this kid. Anyone know his visit date?

Not exactly a ringing endorsement of the UW program.

Well, it may as well be official now. It looks like Fetters has dropped Bigelow down to a 3* so he must be switching to the ducks.

LOL. Fetters is a sad human being. "Oh this guys decommitting from the Huskies? I'll show him."
