Interesting statements in this article, like;

....Know how the conventional wisdom is that prospects coming out of Texas are more fully evolved because of the state's prep football culture? Well, it's mostly bunk.

....The South does rule recruiting. Just consider the numbers.

....Thompson was previously committed to California, so this could be termed the first flip from the Bears to the Huskies for former Cal assistant Tosh Lupoi.

It turns out, however, that the Huskies actually beat out Oregon for Thompson's services. From ESPN Recruiting's Greg Biggins:

Here’s how close it was between Washington and Oregon. Last week, Thomson met with Arik Armstead and the two made a pact to play their college ball together. Oregon was the choice for both, and Thompson even went out and bought a Ducks hat and engraved his name in it.

Shortly afterwards, Thompson thought more about his decision and decided that Washington was a better fit. He let Armstead know and then took an unofficial visit over the weekend to Seattle to check out the Huskies one more time.

Just one more look was all it took for the talented safety, and the Huskies landed what could arguably be their biggest recruit in years....
