Can the last one out of town turn out the lights?

Pretty soon all we will have on the roster are RBs and DBs!

The problem with Jimmy Lake the recruiter is he lost his main selling point when Chris Pete stepped down. No-one wants to play for an unproven first-time head coach.

Sounds like a family deal unless he just doesn't want to burn bridges. But the fact that he brother is also transferring to Julio's team gives credence to that.

“It definitely was not an easy choice,” Nacua said in an interview on 950 AM KJR on Monday afternoon. “It definitely was not how I planned things out in my head for my future here at UW. But some family issues came up and some stuff with my family where I know I need to be there to support my family and help them out in the best way. That’s how I came to my conclusion in entering the portal.”

When pushed further on whether this was purely a family decision, Nacua added: “Yeah, definitely. I got to play as a freshman. I still remember my first touchdown and the energy I felt in Husky Stadium. Every time I think about it, I still get juiced, just thinking about it. Definitely, (wide receivers coach Junior) Adams and (head coach Jimmy) Lake have been good to me — especially coach Adams. He’s the coach I came in with.

“With all the coaches that have come in — coach JD (offensive coordinator John Donovan) this year — and especially the shift in energy that was coming with coach Lake, this is not how I wanted it to go. But family has always been something … I wouldn’t be anywhere without them, so I need to take care of them.”
