Molden Solid to Washington after Taggart hiring:
West Linn 4-star CB Elijah Molden: 'I'm solid to Washington'
"I'm solid to Washington," he said. "I'm sure (Oregon will) reach out to me, but I'll tell them right away that I'm solid to Washington."
Molden, arguably the state's best cornerback prospect in more than 20 years, said that's not a knock on Taggart, but rather a firm belief in the infrastructure built in Seattle by Chris Petersen.
"At the end of the day, I think Coach Petersen is one of the best coaches in college football," he said. "Once I made my decision, I was 100 percent -- even if Oregon hired my dad on staff."
Still, it was fair to worry, and was something Washington defensive back coach Jimmy Lake checked out Wednesday morning.
"I told Coach Lake, 'Don't worry, I'm solid,'" Molden said.
