Abundance.

Here's a decent rundown of the scholarship numbers.
With 95 or 96 guys on scholarship, the staff may be finished with the portal. Some positions have elevated numbers so I would think a WR will hit the portal after the bowl game, Ryan Otton will medically retire, and Mikell Esteen will portal. Maybe an OL too.
A few guys may stick around and see if they can break the two deeps in spring ball before portaling. EWIWBE.

There are only 9 DT. Two coming off injury, one a RS freshman, one a true freshman and and another in Pepa that has been hurt the last two years. They need one or two more experienced upper class dudes here. They were so depleted last year that I can't imagine trying to go to war with only 5 for sure healthy guys. I think they'll lose a LB or two(Bryant, Moore), a safety or two(Esteen, Holmes, Mencke), an OL or two(Jackett, Azzopardi, Fasaalo, Henning), a TE(Otton), a WR or two(Rashiid or Justice Williams, Green, Robinson), an edge player(Wayne, Lane, Ward, Davis), one or two from DL( Parker brothers, Sagapolu) and a QB(Kuykendall). I think a lot of this will be separated post spring camp. Fish will bring in some more portal guys if he thinks they can help UW win, stack talent, have an early spring camp and give the losers of position battles, guys who can't gain weight or guys that just can't get physically right time to enter the next portal to find greener pastures/retire. The young guys that are buried on depth can drop down to the MW and earn their way back to P4 after a year. Hard to do that running third string at UW. That's my 2c.

your 2c seem pretty sensible though I question loosing that many dudes.

I feel 9 DT is decent, since we typically rotate 6 through a game and run some packages where a plus-sized DE is inside (like Lynch and Uiagalelei). I'm guessing we'll mainly see Pepa and Parker start, with Thompson and Butler behind, and Davis with Sagapolu rotating in.

I’m not sold that you can hang your hat on either of the Parkers or Pepa staying consistently healthy. Without them you start relying on Kahn or Macon to contribute this year and that’s not a situation you want to find yourself in. One more there.

Put that new DC to work.

Is he even good?

Who cares?
