We interrupt an ongoing mourning period on Montlake to bring you an urgent message:
It’s going to be OK.
Really, truly, it will, even if that’s a difficult concept to digest right now. After all, it was only two weeks ago that Sav’ell Smalls — the five-star outside linebacker from Burien Kennedy Catholic and Washington’s top in-state (or out of state) target in the 2020 class — eliminated the hometown Huskies from his list of prospective suitors.
That undoubtedly stung, both for the fan base and the coaching staff, especially considering that Smalls is still considering UW’s two primary rivals — Oregon and Washington State.
