How many 4*s will be on the team in 2026?
When UW gets to 30-40 4*s, good things tend to happen. -
That dude is getting OPI called on him every play outside of the B1G

Regarding the portal, I don't think they will go for a TE now with Rhino aboard. He just may be the #2 or #3 TE due to his blocking abilities though I still liked what I saw from Eldridge before he got hurt (and he'll be a RS-JR at 6'4" 255 lbs).
Fisch said he expects Greene to start at LT so the backup would be Faasolo (RS-JR), Hykelma (RS-Soph), or Elisah Jackett (RS-JR). Jackett was the highest rated but has been dinged and is undersized at 270 lbs.
I see the biggest portal priorities as WR, DE, and CB (assuming Anterio Thompson gets another year and either Armon Parker or Simote Pepa are on the 2026 roster two).
I'm not sure they go for a portal OL since they sound confident that Greene is ready to start and the other positions have returning starters.
Regardless, if they only go for 3-5 portal guys, they would probably be able to focus more on experienced quality than quantity which bodes well.

I'm glad someone asked to be honest.

I’m not sure what the roster numbers are but Fish said he will take as many in the portal as enter the portal. Agree that DE, DL and CB2 are the most important spots. Assuming everyone on the OL stays I think they’re pretty much set there. Azzopardi, Mills, Paki, Greene on the outside, Mills, Paki, Tualala, Henning and Hatchett on the inside. Pay for a difference making edge player and pay for an experienced one year rental at CB (Dixon??). Do what you did last year and get some rotational DL help. They’re young but the returning talent is well spread out. Hit the portal the way they hit the 26 class and 10-2 should be the expectation.
