    Well... all things considering this makes a lot of sense.

    Junior Adams to Utah, too? As a package deal?
    Package deals rarely work. My guess is they take Adams and his exhorbitant salary.
    We keep Puka, then hire one of the players' dads to coach WR and further the cost saving efforts.

    We'll thank Lake for this when everyone else (except those who played full seasons and made bank) is poor.

    Um maybe you didn’t hear, cost is not a problem for uw when searching for coaches.

    That denial told me the opposite must be true. That and the other obvious evidence.

    I just came up with a conspiracy theory on the spot. This whole thing, maybe even Petersen stepping down in the first place and now Kwat leaving, screams at the spector of future cost cutting to me....no raises for coaches, no funds to go after big time hires, and no coffee cup funds. They saved money on Lake but then the 4 game season in front of empty seats came along. Time to kick the plan into overdrive.

    Don’t think it runs that deep. I think Pete was basically running the program with no oversight. Was good enough to win the conference semi consistently but nothing else. He didn’t want to do what it takes to go the extra mile.

    Now our AD which is so lost and clueless is in charge. Somehow we deserve this.

    I dont think so either. I almost sold myself though. I'm getting better at the conspiracy thing.

    I think financial pressures play a larger role than we'd like. I also think the free year of eligibility and the portal are part of a plan that could work or fail spectacularly

    Either way September can't get here fast enough

    That's something that's been bouncing around my head as well. When was the last time you saw a big time program go so long with ZERO news on the scholarship athlete recruiting trail but bring in, what, 20 walk-ons over the same period? My conspiracy theory is that Lake suspects that the extra year of eligibility will lead to teams having 10-person recruiting classes in a year or two, after the scholarship limits come back down to 85 (they did temporarily lift the limit, right?). Lake may be intentionally trying to keep the numbers low to keep the classes balanced and have his pick of Alabama/Clemson/Ohio State/Georgia/Kansas' "we're full" leftovers in '23, right as Huard is hitting his stride.

    I see that potential plan working about about as well as "Just wait until COVID restrictions lift and we get these kids on campus."
    Pretty much what was kicking around in my head too

    Yeah that’s not gonna work.

    Here is why- if rules prevent Alabama and Ohio State from taking their full complement of 5* players guess what happens? The rules change.

    Also they’ll just cut kids. And the kids they cut won’t come here anyway especially because we didn’t recruit them.
    But still
