High school TBS rankings are already questionable and always have been and yeah portal ones are in just a different stratosphere. Like last year Dillon Gabriel was like the 70th rated portal guy when he clearly was probably like #1 but it was based on "NFL potential."
Supposedly having no shot at Moe is a horrible, horrible sign unless suddenly it looks like UW is going to sign a few Marcus Bryant type players, which I really doubt.
Marcus Bryant was a disappointment for Missouri BTW and SMU didn’t seem to miss him. Roll of the dice, everyone after the obvious kids that all end up at 4-5 schools is a crapshoot. FSU cleaned up in the portal last year, or so they thought, and they weren’t what they expected when put together as a team. Good thing I’m familiar with disappointment!
Moe was recruited by the UW staff. Arizona was his only P5 offer, I think he was committed to Mercer or Campbell. They developed him into a 2nd team all P12 guard. His level of play suffered under a different staff and he’s not considering UW. We? poor.
After the covid year stuff, I imagine the numbers will drop. Also the amount of dudes who lost scholarships all together / were never picked up, is pretty staggering.
This NFL potential based rating idea is a fucking joke. It just opens the door further for them to remove all objectivity and rate prospects based on whatever fuzzy criteria they choose, such as who kicks them the most money.

Who says we have no shot at Moe?
Moe was recruited by the UW staff. Arizona was his only P5 offer, I think he was committed to Mercer or Campbell. They developed him into a 2nd team all P12 guard. His level of play suffered under a different staff and he’s not considering UW. We? poor.
anddddd my excitement is gone for the off-season natty.
Is the second portal period most of the 2nd/3rd stringers from the teams playing in games that actually matter?
Yes. Second portal is generally where guys stayed somewhere to compete for a spot and lost.
I think I read an article that he was visiting Auburn and USC and no mention of UW. I know that isn't a be all end all but doesn't seem encouraging.
Larrrrrs and Roman Thomashoffff seemed to think this morning that he was saving his last visit for UW? A trust ring, if you will.🤷♂️🤔🤔
Is Moe an upgrade over G Hatchett or Paki?
Might be saving the bag for an OT and DT and LB Manu

Can't recall if this was shared:

I saw somewhere that Moe had a pretty rough year at AZ. Can anyone confirm that?
If they were good enough for Saban, they are good enough for me:

LSU safety in the portal hearing from UW:

Can confirm that everyone had a rough year at Arizona (except McMillan)
Apparently PFF said he graded very well in pass blocking but sounds like he wasn't very good in run blocking.
that’s perfect because udub sucks at rushing!!
But if he's reunited with Carroll / Coleman, me thinks he'll improve again.
