Under former head coach Steve Sarkisian the UW Huskies did not have any "satellite camps". A growing trend across the college football landscape, several Pac-12 programs were invited to be coaches at camps in California, Texas and other states. The UW coaching staff was involved in three: University of Redlands (Thursday), Cal Lutheran (Friday) and Laney College (Saturday).

The idea of a satellite camp allows schools, like Washington for example, to see prospects who can't make it up to their campus in person in a camp environment to evaluate them. One high school coach said it could change the recruiting game for UW.

"It's huge for UW. It narrows the gap between them and the local Pac-12 schools [Cal, UCLA and USC]," the coach told Realdawg.com before the camps got under way. This is also a way of avoiding the shuttle service recruiting that CBSSports National Writer Jeremy Fowler reported on earlier in the week.

I have compiled as many tweets as I could find from the past few days in reference to UW's camps...
