    UW’s stance on HS recruiting and NIL to date has been highly flawed

    We’ve been able to leverage the portal to help fill in the gaps whether because of lack of recruiting or flame outs or whatever

    We should have no problem attracting offensive talent with what we are doing … RB might be the exception but there’s increasing evidence that there’s room to produce at a high level there

    What UW can’t necessarily find easily in their back yard and need to be NIL competitive in is in the defensive front … DL play is not a west coast strength and high end LB play has been hit or miss.

    If you want to beat the top on a consistent basis you need to have a high performing group at these levels … it’s an area we most definitely can improve in

    I have reason to believe that with our new AD and his new ADtitude, we'll see more NIL in recruiting
    I would hope so as well ...

    HS recruiting is like R&D ... not everything is going to hit but it's a requirement if you want to stay current

    It's always easier to retain a customer than it is to buy a new one ...

    Same thing in recruiting ... easier to keep a player from portaling than it is to secure someone that has portaled

    23 median class if we were in B10 would put us squarely in best of rest

    Chris P had that famous line his 1st spring here when he said to Brock Huard. "we will be judged here by how our DL look like in comparison to the SEC"

    Oregon ran the 2020's version of fullback blast right behind the center all game and we had no answers.

    Interesting thing to note here is Oregon looks like an SEC team of years past, and LSU and Bama look like finesse Pac 12 teams of years past

    The Oregon run game might be the best in the country and that isn't hyperbole.
    Passing the football wins games.

    I think our run game was better last year tbh. The new guys up front have struggled to run block consistently this year.

    Michigan’s run game is far and away the best, I think. Won’t really know till they play a team with a pulse finally in happy valley though
