'08 CA QB Dominique Blackman (Washington signee)
Not sure what to make of this right now...but before any of you start with the "Does this mean we are slipping with Pryor?"-type questions let me say that 1.) I'm not sure if I buy this offer considering he is currently serving a suspension from his team and 2.) like the Ohrian Johnson offer, if it is legit, could be as an ATH or at another position...

The cause for concern has been quarterback Dominique Blackman, who has committed to the University of Washington but has been suspended indefinitely from the team for what Christensen said were violations of multiple team rules.
"It was just stupid stuff," Christensen said. "It's stuff that happens to young people when they make poor choices. Hopefully he's learned his lesson. He's learning every day."

The difference between being a good team and a great team might fall on Blackman, a 6-foot-4, 240-pound talent with tremendous raw skills. Blackman said he has received offers from Ohio State, Florida State and Tennessee after committing to Washington in June.
Blackman said his parents, Pauline Moses and Tony Green, his cousin Larry Patterson and counselor Allison Manumaleuna have provided support during a tumultuous summer.
"I made a couple of mistakes," said Blackman, who has a 3.6 GPA. "It was about being around the wrong people. It was being where I shouldn't have been and not where I should've been. I'm trying to learn from the situation and trying to be a better person.
"The coaches told me it comes down to making good decisions, being a good teammate and being consistent on the field, especially at practice."
Blackman is still practicing with the team, but sophomore backup quarterback Daniel Torres is getting plenty of reps and will start Friday night against Grandview, Colo.

Sorry Oregon, I was agreeing with wad!! You know there are a bunch of people that immediately thought this some how relates to Pryor.
I was just playing off the fact that the kid is a 6'5" 242 athletic football player....a type of kid that you want on your team no matter who you are recruiting.

Yeah, I'm apparently slowly becoming an old-timer on here as the "official offer?" made me immediately think that folks would be wondering about Pryor.
Blackman is a port-sider by the looks of it. Big kid as a QB!
