UW coach Jedd Fisch sizes up his recruiting efforts.
Transcript
00:00 >> You mentioned that a number of guys have signed grant and aid today.
00:04 Can you, are you able to list who the guys are that are official or
00:07 anything like that?
00:09 >> Yeah, from what I understand, the guys that I can announce at this point are,
00:16 well, we know that Will Rogers, Drew Azapardi, Sebastian Valdez are all here.
00:21 We know that Damond Williams has signed, Adam Muhammad has signed,
00:28 Justin Okema has signed, Raheem Wright has signed, Bryce Butler has signed,
00:33 Jonah Coleman has signed, Jeremiah Hunter has signed,
00:36 Brian Parham has signed, Feeshens Priceock has signed, Jordan Shaw has signed.
00:43 And then I think there's five or six more that at this moment we can't discuss,
00:53 but should be able to discuss within the hour or so, or
00:56 there should be information that come out today on those guys.
01:00 And then what was really exciting was getting certain players to leave
01:03 the portal and return, right?
01:05 That was a huge part of our recruitment, guys like Paki Fiedow,
01:10 Justice Williams, Peyton Waters, Mar Mar, those guys to be able to say they
01:16 believed in what we were trying to get accomplished and come back.
01:21 There might be some others, Kamori House, I know is another one.
01:24 And we had to work really hard to make sure we could build the confidence of
01:28 the rest of those guys to stay when the change was made here.
01:34 And Coach DeBoer headed off to Alabama, and
01:38 in a very short period of time they were introduced to us.
01:41 And we didn't have a defensive staff, so there were some guys that left.
01:45 And they're probably looking back on it now and saying,
01:48 maybe we shouldn't have.
