Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Warning: Optimistic post!

We have a DB Coach for an HC and can't recruit DBs

We have an LB coach for a DC and can't recruit LBs.

This whole time I've felt like Jimmy would be able keep the defense elite long term but I'm starting to have serious second thoughts about that.

Unless we? completely master the portal we are in serious trouble.

    That was blatant sarcasm. Uw won 10 games 3 years in a row and had an off year. The train should not have fallen off the rails in program perception. This staff sucks at everything off the field. On field is the most important and they may do fine there but roster holes will catch up with them.

    Glad it was a whoosh

    And we have a coach who seems to believe his quickest route to the NFL is to prove he's the smartest guy in the room by winning with MWC level recruiting.

    Yeah, not great.

    And the portal talk is getting tiresome. You might be able to get a good QB occasionally from the portal, but most of those guys are transfers for a reason.

    If you're Oregon State, and can't get talent, using the portal is a legitimate strategy to build out your roster. If you're UW, its much easier to build a talented roster by putting more effort into recruiting. You also don't have to recruit poorly to use the portal, you will still have room for transfers if you recruit well!

    If our coaches strength is player development, you would think they would want players in the program to develop. The portal strategy is silly because you know who else tries to get talent from the portal? It’s the same schools that out recruit you right now.
