Mully gets the chicken dinner. Oregon (A+) vs Washington (C+ at time of signing). Final odds were 75-25 in favor of Oregon. Recruit chose Washington.
I thought this was an interesting case. It shows what a fringe battle looks like when both parties are heavily invested. Kind of confirms the notion that 2 full grades is a little too much for an underdog to overcome with equivalent effort. It took significant AP stacking to keep UW in the game. And even at that point, my own miscalculation prevented me from doing enough to shut them out. I had figured at around 40 AP/cycle they wouldn’t be able to get in the game against my max effort and promises. But I misinterpreted the preferences, failing to notice that despite the IQ showing the Huskies practicing press, Washington was actually *playing* zone all season; so instead of having that extra preference advantage in my pocket, UW actually got some ground back there, enough to stay in with me until the end.
