*Avg Avg is the average of all the rankings from the major recruiting services. If a recruit is not given a ranking by any of the major services, we assign him a 2 grade.

| Aaron Baltazar | RB | CA | 4 | 3 | 4 | 4 |
Washington has held many important (if not top-line) recruits in-state. Their ranking might depend on whether Baltazar hardens his soft verbal to the Huskies.

| Siale Fakailoatonga | TE | UT | 3 | 3 | 3 | N/A |

Will Mike Leach make a move soon? So far, no real noise.
Oregon State still does not have any recruits. Pretty dire situation for the Beavers if this wears on through the summer.
