Bilbo Biggins thinkin' his highest upside may be on D. Also appears to be another high ceiling 3* type, purple glasses on. He probably starts as/plays WR but we shall see. I think Fish is just stackin' athletes. Figure the rest out later.
Ajose is an intriguing player with the ability to play multiple
positions at the next level. He was very productive at receiver,
explosive in the return game but his upside is probably highest on the
defensive said of the ball. He played linebacker in a part time roll but
really flashed, showing a burst off the edge and some physicality in
his game. Safety could be his ultimate meal ticket and we really like
his size, athleticism and toughness. He runs well and has the track
background we love in a skill player. Clocked a 10.9-100m as a freshman
but dealt with a hip injury that hindered his sophomore track season. As
a receiver, he can continue to improve as a pass catcher, being mare
natural with his hands but the burst and ability to run after the catch
are plus tools for him. He can stretch the field and is a playmaker with
the ball in his hands. Frame wise and from a positional versatility
standpoint, he reminds us a little of former O’Dowd two-way standout
Jevon Holland. He’s definitely a trend up guy in our eyes and someone to
watch closely this off-season.

I agree with 4 OL per year in average. It doesn't have to be 4 every year and it will never consistently work out that way since defections, injuries and flame outs don't follow a schedule. I think if you're doing a good job the need most years should be 3-5 though.

It felt like during the Petersen years there was a healthy chunk of highly rated recruits out west that were hard to get away from Stanford. Are those guys kind of just gone? Did Stanford extra stop caring about football so they're not offering better guys anymore?
-
I saw in one ranking before today that we were #26 and Stanford is #21 and got some really highly coveted player.

Sure in theory you take 4 high school kids every year and sometimes 5.
In reality the roster is completely lopsided right now and still will be next year. They need to add upperclassmen more than they need freshmen.
So sign 3 and then pick up 2-3 in the portal.
The strange part of your post was how you framed it to try to make it as if UW was striking out on everyone at OL even though they already have two of their top targets (using “wined and dined” instead of “brought in for official visit” is kind of a tell as to the lack of objectivity.) -
Sure but he also got really lucky with that class.

The only time in the 20+ years I’ve been following UW recruiting that UW won more than one or two contested battles in a year against schools like USC, Notre Dame, Michigan, Stanford (when they were good), Oregon, or Oklahoma was the tail end of the Petersen regime (2018/2019.)
Not sure that’s a realistic expectation in year 0 when both recruits and the bag droppers aren’t sure about Fisch yet. -
If Vaikona passes that’s 1/6 on players you paid to come up here and check out your program. The seventh visit was a player already committed. They’d have taken 4-5 of those kids if they had chosen to come and figured out the numbers. If they get Vaikona then I guess I’ll call the visits a push? If he doesn’t jump in the boat I’d classify the last month of visits as a failure by Carrol. Im not trying to objective. I’m not happy with offensive line recruiting ATM.

He was bringing a pretty damn class to BSU by their standards, and brought all the ones he wanted with him.
