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

Polk, Jmac, or both?

Me thinks one if not both of these guys are coming back next year do to our elite NIL for proven assets.

What thinks you?

    If anything, it will be JMac due to the injury. I think Polk will go. He's ready.

    It's crazy that Polk could play two more if he wanted to, but I think he's gone.

    Only reason to return is a higher draft grade if he's the WR1

    None are coming back

    Yeah, I doubt any could look better than they do with Penix. They’re not going to want to adjust to a new guy who will be worse than mike, which is guaranteed.

    All depends on the draft grade and NIL. If they're seen as second round or later, and NIL comes through, they could make more money playing at UW next year and potentially raise their stock at the same time (assuming UW gets a QB, which I would bet on DeBoer doing).

    Yup

    People forget a lot of this bored thought Rome, Penix, Trice were gone last year

    I think it also depends on when and how well McMillan comes back. If he comes back in a few weeks and isn't super productive does he need another year to prove he's an NFL WR? I love his game but he's small and slight. Gotta remember because of Covid he's actually been in college now since 2020.

    Polk to me even with what he's doing seems like a possibility if he can get a good NIL and show what he can do as a #1 option.

    If I'm an NFL scout, I'm not recommending my team draft McMillan until later rounds. I would want to see him come back and be productive first. Otherwise, red flags are flying everywhere.

    If there was QB they think put numbers up, but all 3 are gone because of that uncertainty

    Even a 1% chance on Trice? Seems like 0% and I know sacks aren't everything but certainly seems like it could be concerning he has one sack halfway through the season. He looks a little overly bulked to me.

    I know he's getting double teamed and held and the team lacks other pass rushers, but I've given shit to certain other teams' DEs of getting hyped despite not getting a ton of sacks so I think it's a fair question.

    I think both are back. It's a deep draft class for WR this year, and some website that ranks kids says they're 14th and 15th

    They'll move up from the mid-rounds in 2024 to the early rounds in 2025

    Old school you always go pro. Williams shouldn't have returned to USC because he loses luster every week

    New school NIL let's you get paid and then paid again. The players are having fun which you should in college

    As others have pointed out next year might not be as fun or productive

    Nice problem to have but fuck next year

    The future is now

    This doog wants sustained success

    10 wins is the expectation at DeBoner's Warshington

    @whatshouldicareabout nailed it I think. Come back, get paid, boost draft stock

    Trice should stay another year at this rate, too.

    Other than the injury, what red flags? Other than a drop against Tulsa, he was dominating before he was injured. He was good last year and looked improved this year.
    He plays phyiscal but has a slight frame IMO

    In the NFL he might go the way of Ross and Pettis if he doesnt bulk up a bit more

    When all 3 together, not sure anyone can stop this offense. When 3 on the field creates opportunities for other dude that are solid like the TE

    Why did I read that as both are black?

    NFL teams don't like players who seem fragile. I'm not saying he is, and I'm not saying he won't be the next Keenan Allen, but I think NFL reps will want to see him play at a high level before the season is over before they recommend investing millions in him.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see Polk get a first round grade. I can't see him coming back for a fifth year.

    Seems like Jmac coming back is probable if not likely, unless he gets back on the field soon and has sustained success. Polk is the #1 on most other teams and seems like a 2nd rounder worst case. Would be unreal if he came back but unlikely. The offensive skills positions are stacked and players are going to want to come the UW for the targets, opportunites.

    Wonder if Rosengarten comes back
