The Washington Huskies didn't make a huge splash on High School Football National Signing Day, but I didn't expect them to nor did most anybody else with Steve Sarkisian not being hired until December 7th, as well as the teams struggles last season. Most recruiting websites ranked the Huskies with the 9th or 10th rated class in the Pac-10. A great number of players the Huskies signed were from Junior Colleges .
The key player in this class was Wide Receiver James Johnson from Valley Center, California, according to coach Sarkisian. Sarkisian also stated that much of what UW did for this signing period was lay the groundwork for the 2010 class. To view Washington's entire class and read bios on each player click here.
It appears every recruit will have an immediate opportunity to play with how bad the Huskies were last year. I think that with an entire year of recruiting under his belt, a better crop of prospects from the state, and with Sarkisian's ties to the California and Utah areas, the Huskies will have a much better class next year. Go Dawgs!!
