    The portal has completely changed the game. Saban hates the portal for exactly this reason. I remember a time before scholarship limits when schools like Alabama would use excess scholarships to take kids off the street, basically cut out the competition. Can't do anything remotely close to that now. Now, a school like UW can instantly grow a 6 star Penis. Good times I say.

    Florida State played 17 transfers, Clemson 0

    This is college football

    If you get REAL 5 stars out of high school there is a far greater chance you will lose them in the portal. What if UW had a stud 5 star freshman receiver this year - he'd be gone after never seeing the field

    I actually do trust DeBoer to do both and do both well. But I think Portal acquisition is more important

    Couldn't agree with this more.

    Once you actually see what a player looks like in a college game all the conjecture about how good they could be (the star ratings) becomes moot pretty quick.

    Jacob Bandes is a good example of someone who was ranked high as a 4* but we have ample evidence that he is a middling quality player. Tybo is the opposite.

    Edit: By the way, the best player to ever play at UW, IMHO, was Stan Empterman. That guy was a fucking beast and a number one overall NFL draft pick. As a D Lineman. And as we all know, he was a three star recruit!!!!111111!!! Stars matter to some degree, fuck you up kick ass on the field eye test play matters more.

    Not an in state guy but another 5* guy UW landed was Donny Mateaki and he played the equivalent of Cameron Elisaras career which was like a a Damian Turpin career
    Still working at UW

    Hope he's more effective developing than when he played

    I think the 4* ratio argument was a proxy for a team that had a higher probability of having quality contributors, based on evaluations done when kids were 16.

    After a year or two in a P5 system those evaluations mean nothing. What percentage of 5* players are below average contributors? If it's even 3 or 4 that's a bad ratio.

    A portal evaluation is probably a more accurate and efficient system.

    Penix, Polk, Dillon Johnson, Nixon, Muhammad...Pretty good hit rate compared to the 4 and 5 stars of the last 4 cycles IMO.

    No. Fuck, we’re so over the top Doogin on this team it’s nuts.

    They’re good. Talent on D isn’t there…not even close. We’ve played dreg.

    Wow. Just wow

    Looks like we're down to 27 x 4 Stars "In Progress"

    https://247sports.com/Season/2018-Football/CollegeTeamTalentComposite/

    Only Clempson has won the whole thing in the CFP era with less than the magic number or 40 (they had 39 in 2016).

    TCU has 17 last year. I don't recall were Oregon was in 2014 but it was low 30's, right?

    Can UW be the first to do it with well below 40? We had 21 in 2016 including 4 star QB Jake Browning.

    I have had many concerns about my beloved defence but Jordan Perryman was the injury that kept us? from winning the conference and 13 games last year. This year he wouldn't be in the 2 deeps.
