Dawgs add two more as we head into final stretch...

As the final days of recruiting wind themselves down, the Washington Huskies have found themselves rapidly filling their class. With six commitments since Thursday, this class is shaping up to be one of the best hauls in recent memory for the Dawgs.

Last night, word came out of Hawaii that 6-5, 290 lb offensive tackle Paulay Asiata, out of Saint Louis High in Honolulu, gave his word to Washington coaches. Asiata is considered by many to be the top prospect out of the Aloha state.

Late Tuesday evening, Gonzaga Prep of Spokane, WA running back Bishop Sankey gave his verbal after spending the afternoon with head coach Steve Sarkisian. Sankey, a longtime commit to in-state rival Washington State, becomes the last of the top Washington high schoolers to decide to don the Purple and Gold helmets next season.

Coach Sarkisian said from day one on the job that he wanted to "put up a fence around the state and not let anyone get out". He has done just that.  If they manage to get QB Jacoby Brissett, out of Palm Beach, FL, this class will be one of the best in the country. Although it is a long shot, I wouldn't count this hard working coaching staff out just yet.
