Apple Cup Proves Local Recruits Worth The Most

Apple Cup Proves Local Recruits Worth The Most

The greatest satisfaction in doing all this work for free at NWPR is seeing the boys of Fall from all over the Pacific NW get recruited and go on to be Impact players.  At all levels from NAIA to the D1 our boys show up and show out as well as kids from bigger recruiting markets like California, Texas, and Florida.  Facts are our guys are among the best!  This is why in order to win our schools need to win the recruiting game at home first.  Many are the recruits we have seen overlooked by NW Colleges and Universities who have gone on to dominate on the field.

Case in Point is today’s Apple Cup; a game with the Pac 12 North on the line, a National Championship in the balance, and top bowl game placement at stake.  Sitting here at home watching this one has me glowing today knowing I was right about so many of these guys.  We are all proud of them and it is terrific to see these NW boys making big pay after big play.
