Washington Huskies: Priest Willis
SEATTLE -- Washington is in a very good position to bring in some top talent this weekend.
Receiver John Ross (Long Beach, Calif./Jordan) is planning to pick between Washington, Oregon and UCLA at Friday’s Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl, and defensive end Joe Mathis (Upland, Calif./Upland) is expected to announce his college choice at Saturday’s U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
At this point, the Huskies seem to be the favorite to land both four-star prospects, even though Mathis said Thursday he might not have his final decision made -- his finalists are Washington, Alabama, USC and UCLA -- before his nationally televised announcement.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- With four officials already done, Priest Willis (Tempe, Ariz./Marcos De Niza) is trying to figure out his fifth and final trip in the next couple of weeks.
Three schools, all from the Pac-12 Conference, are in the mix.
"I have one more left, but I still have to decide which one I am going to take," he said today while at Under Armour All-America Game registration at Disney's Yacht Club Resort. "It is going to be either ASU, UCLA or Washington."

RecruitingNation has summoned its writers from around the country to compile a list of the top 10 battles for elite football recruits leading up to February's signing day. We'll update our rankings periodically to reflect a change in a player's status (i.e., new offers, trimmed-down list or a positive/negative official visit).
Our writers have debated the list for weeks, but we value your input as well. Voice your opinion on Twitter (@RecruitingESPN) using#BlueChipBattles or vote for which player should hold the No. 1 spot on Facebook.

SEATTLE -- If there is one thing that comes up each week, if not every day, it is the offensive line.
There are questions about the linemen Washington is recruiting. There are questions about the program’s development of linemen. There are questions about the injuries that have plagued the unit and how far the Huskies have to go before the line can be looked at as a position of strength.
If there is one unit Washington fans are desperate to see improvement from, it’s the offensive line. But, as the Huskies prepare to play No. 11 USC at 4 p.m. Saturday at CenturyLink Field, the one thing that has hampered the line more than anything else is injuries.
