    SMFJIV struggled as a true freshman. Remember when EWU put up 52 against us?

    Cam Williams will improve significantly between his freshman and sophomore years

    Yeah I would actually say Cam had a more successful true freshman campaign than Sydney did. He took a ton of lumps. I cant remember how good Budda was as a freshman but I'm sure he had some roughmplays too
    And we are comparing him to the likes of Baker and Rapp. For a true frosh with a target on his back, he did ok

    Rapp was the only true freshman that never struggled at DB. His struggles were very mild. I remember thinking both him and McIntosh gave up too many crossing routes against USC. That’s the only time I remember Rapp looking somewhat bad.

    THIS. None of these current NFL Dawgs looked that good as Freshmen. This is why i'm going to enjoy McDuffie for two more seasons. Not even Murphy was that good early. I have to tell Cardinal fans this all the time. Murphy is a kid that has evident talent but you just have to wait for the light to turn on and then he's ready. Sidney, Budda and King had this really nice progression to upperclassmen play.

    Cam Williams is going to be fine. He knows he needs to get physically stronger just as all the other Freshmen that have played snaps realize. He and Asa are going to be stalwarts back there in 2 seasons.
    McDuffie was probably the 2nd best true freshman DB after Rapp. Budda was mostly good as his freshman year progressed as well.

    Jimmy’s defensive backs have all progressed. We have yet to see people not improve, from Kevin King to ASA

    McKinney and Gilchrist suggest it’s not a guarantee.

    Strong likelihood though.
    Better players around those two, doesn’t mean they didn’t get better. Just means the other player played. Rapp did miss tackles for long plays and gave up long pass plays. He improved during the season
    Asa and Williams will be gone in two years, they won’t play All 4.

    We'll know what type of players Cam and Asa are by how they handle this off season. They have to know that huge amounts of playing time are to be had had. I think Cam has more work to do than Asa. Irvin too, he has 3 years left to show why he was so highly touted. DBU is lookin' good!

    - What % do the Dawgs have of signing Togiai or Yary?
    - Will Scott Huff put in a call to OL Chris Murray?
    - Super Soaker to your head. With the Donovan hire and basically 10 starters back on defense What is your early 2020 prediction?
    - Any names you care to share on the TE coach front?
    - Did Jimmy offer Gerald Alexander?
    - How close was Kellen Moore in becoming the new OC?
    - Going forward can you be Quade Greens tutor?
    - Who's offense is more pathetic? Chris Petersen's or Mike Hopkins?
    - T/F - Gregory and Bhonapha will both be employed in 2021?
    - Was the Jamie Newman grad transfer talk fake news?
    - T/F - Huskies will land DB Kasen Kinchen as a PWO?

    I guess the reason why I heard no names for TE is because Jimmy just promoted from within.

    I would love 10-2, but I’m guessing 8-4 is more likely.

    I don't see how we'd go .500 against Michigan, at Oregon, at USC, and at Utah

    I also wonder if we'll continue the tradition of the bizarre away game loss against inferior teams

    This is the question that I'm most interested in. If Donovan can match Bush's output (writing that makes me sick) and the defense takes the step we think it will then we should win 10 games next year. IF, we can avoid the mysterious let downs against shitty teams. This years team wins ten if they show up to beat Stanford and Colorado, not to mention they were playing with the lowest output defense since 2014. It's not a hard equation. I'm just not enthused with the idea of grinding out hard, ugly 26-17 wins every week. I prefer the plunger method.

    Utah will suck. It's an embarrassment to those other teams to include them.

    @sonics1993 are you in agreement with Chester that being non-white should have been the top qualification for the OC and/or TE hire?

    On a serious note

    1- any other info on the GA "offer"? I'm assuming he's looking for a higher job than co defensive backs coach.

    2- what do you know/think about Cato?

    3- what % do you put as at for just Yary? (Not including Togiai)

    Washington is really the wild card in the Pac-12 next year I think. I can see them being as good as conference champs, or as bad as 7-5, and it's really going to come down to what the new offense looks like. Defensively they should have one of the, if not the best unit in the conference, and that should be good enough to keep them in every game so long as the offense is at least halfway competent. That's a mighty big if though, because the offensive side of the ball is littered with question marks from top to bottom, at each position and in terms of coaching.

    @WillyRBeek I disagree a bit here. Our offense is going to be shaky and shaky offenses don't travel well. I think we lose 3 games minimum and 5 games maximum. What's going to determine our success is Defense. It's one thing we can reliably expect to travel. I don't care if we lose the Michigan game as much as the importance of playing physical. If the message is sent that you have a dawgfight coming to your stadium when the boys show up I like our changes to go 2-2 during our road game conference stretch while the Offense jells for the last half of the season with a lot of home games.

    We are going to lose 6 games next year

    You're absolutely correct about offenses not travelling as well as defenses, but thankfully for the Huskies, their first 3 games are in Seattle, and 2 of them they should win fairly easily as long as the offense isn't a complete horror show, so that should hopefully give the offense a bit of a chance to gel before hitting the road.
    On paper, from a standpoint of how they've recruited, the Huskies should be pretty good on the offensive side of the ball, but how those players have/will be developed, what the play calling is going to look like, how said players are going to be utilized, is all up in the air right now. Like I said, a lot of question marks.
    That 4 game road trip, against what should arguably be their 4 toughest conference opponents, is what's going to make or break this season for the Huskies.

    - He wants to call plays and Jimmy isn’t screwing over Coach K for that
    - That he’s an analyst and apparently our new TE coach
    - 75% right now if it’s between us, UCLA and USC. If schools like ASU and Oregon jump in then that decreases.

    Under those conditions, fare thee well, GA, we didn’t want you anyway.
    Don’t know where the GA rumors started but it was never happening

    I think 7 wins unless we get a grad transfer QB. The fact is that none of the dudes on the roster last year were even close to being on Haener's level.

    We will be good on defense. Offense will suck.

    So is basketball recruiting covered on this board at all?
    I'm wondering because a lot has been made of the 2021 class in the state of Washington for football, but the 2021 basketball class is also the best class Washington has had in a very long time.
    Just wondering what kind of chance the Huskies have at landing some of these guys.
