In the portal era if you don't develop you get managed out … not hard

this does not bode well for fish considering his inability to get (buy) top portal lineman. Hopefully something’s changed with his philosophy or bag man. Probably not.

If you’re talking about the SMU tackle I’m thinking he was a supply and demand risk. In Spring there was low supply and high demand. Maybe Fish and Carrol put a number on this kids skill and when Missouri went past that number because they were going “all in” this year they said thanks but no thanks. Correct me if I’m wrong, Missouri has taken a step back this year and SMU doesn’t seem to be missing this “great” OT they lost. The optics were bad because UW was desperate but I think the SMU kid was probably closer to Max McCree than Troy Fautano.

I'm probably in the minority but I don't see the need to take an OL in the portal. Maybe 1 if he is a higher level guy but the staff seems to prefer to build through high school recruiting. UW returns 12 scholarship OL and will probably take 5 or 6 in the 2025 class so that will put them at 17 or 18.
I guess it could be possible that Memmelaar medically retires and then they would take a portal OL to fill his spot but he appears as though he has shaken the injury bug.
Instead, it would be better for them to focus the finite NIL resources on two portal DTs since the recruiting for that position was so underwhelming in the 2021 and 2022 classes.
And remember, you too can make a difference with the portal:
-
He’s definitely not a tackle at the next level. I do like his power and when he latches onto guys he looks to pretty easily over power them. I think he could develop into a solid guard. He needs to get in shape.
-
I’m with you 100% on this. Defensive line is a huge worry. With Williams I think UW has time to let the kids on roster to develop assuming they really like what they’re developing.
-
He is like the other end of Elijah Jackett…a pretty high ceiling due to his frame but needs two years in a college program to realize it. Jackett has needed to put on 40 pounds while Langi will need to lose 40 pounds of bad weight. Maybe that's why some schools cooled on him, because it looks like he has gotten bigger (fat) since his JR year.
-
Can never go wrong with taking more OL and DL since those are the hardest to project how they'll do at the P2 level
-
Fuck Vanilla.
Maybe Langi can go the Ale, Sagapolu route and be a massive DT. Florida has a dude that’s like 400 pounds they put in on running downs.
