The Huskies haven’t signed a true 5-star recruit since Shaq Thompson (yes, Ale Kaho was rated as a 5-star, but he didn’t enroll so he won’t be counted). Chris Petersen needs to go out and get one to show the rest of the country that he is truly a recruiting force to be reckoned with. Being able to go out and get these kinds of players is what he needs to ultimately bring a national championship to Seattle.
Let’s start with the big guy, Sav’ell Smalls. The hometown hero out of Garfield High in Seattle, Smalls is a must get recruit for Chris Petersen and UW.
