    Brennan Armstrong from UVA is in the portal. All time passing leader at Virginia. Had similar numbers to Penix in 2021. His stats took a shit under his new coach. Great arm, great runner. If Penix departs, Armstrong would be a great replacement. With Big Papa (TWILTCH) maybe UW has an in with him.

    Jesus ...WTF did the new coach do? No wonder Big Papa got the F out of there. Dontayvion Wicks had 1203 yards in 2021 and then drops to 480 this year. I expect there will be a lot of players portaling out of that mess.
    Hiring Tony Elliot from Clemson was almost Jon Donovan level stupid. He cratered Clemsons offense after Jeff Scott left for South Florida. Clemson fans wanted him fired before he failed upward and got the Virginia job.

    Tony Ellliot was a horrible hire. Clemson had a terrible offense with him as OC.
    Thanks @theknowledge and RoadDawg55. Looks like He and OC Des Kitchings shit the bed. Crazy shit that Brennan threw for 4449 yards last year and missed the Notre Dame game. He could have thrown for 5000 yards in a season. Plus he ass was sacked 30 times. He must be looking at Penix Jr and his 5 sacks this season with lustful eyes.

    Stanford has some decent players hitting the portal and I would expect more. Assume these guys are academically prowesed so they might be interested in UW.

    DE Stephon Herron - Had an all-conference level season on a shit team.
    LB Levani Damuni - Has had a decent career, but also could just be another Cam Bright.
    S Jonathan MCGill - Similar to Damuni.

    I’m hoping Eddy fully comes back to form next year, Bruener takes another step as a junior and that AT, now over a year removed from the Achilles tear, takes another leap forward. If UW can bring in a legit P5 starter to play along EO, have Bruener and AT as quality depth would be a pretty great group. Maybe Demario King will flash. Not sure what his injury was this year. Five LBs should be enough to let the new recruits redshirt and gain some weight.

    Next season is setup nicely for ZTF to be "the" guy again. A year and a half removed from Achilles injury should get him back to his former glory. I have a sneaking suspicion that Trice might declare. I was confident our guys would get after it this year. I haven't seen enough flash from younger players to let me know they'll pick up the slack. I think our secondary will be vastly improved next season along with Linebackers, they'll have to be because expecting 35 sacks is going to be a bit too much.

    Heard there were some issues between players





    Too soon?
    Some of them wanted to win more than others.

    Trice has nothing left to prove and should get drafted in the 2nd round

    Unless you test as a genetic freak at the DE position you typically go in the later rounds. No clue what his measurable are.

    Hate to admit it but you're right. NFL is looking for twitchy guys at End. They couldn't pass on Tryon because he just looks like a football player should.

    @WoolleyDoog yes. I thinks he’s gone and I’m happy for him and saddened that if Latu was still here he’d be the heir apparent

    It's tough but I'm generally in the mindset of wanting UW guys to just go to the league once it's the best choice for them. Hard part though is unless you're one of the four schools that have all the talent you kind of need guys who don't need to come back return for another year. Even with Gaskin in 2018 I felt a little guilty about it.

    I know I'm a broken record with Stanford academis players but Stanford's pretty good center is in the portal now - Drake Nugent. Could be a nice take with Luciano gone.

    What am I missing with this guy? Other than being local he’s got almost no stats in three years of football. Has he been injured?

    you are right. I never watch cal but I guess I have seen him make the only plays in his career and assumed he was making plays outside of those times.
