    4 guys are still in the portal on the OL (Kalepo, Buelow, and Hatchett bros). Seems like Huff has left them so hopefully they are LOYAL to the SOIL (woof, snarl, bark).

    An Arizona OL starter (Pulido) is also in the portal and he may be just as good as those other guys (if not better).

    What helps is that Huff recruited 4 or 5 OL in the 2023 class and all redshirted. A starter may emerge there.

    I think Kalepo already visited ole miss so he is bag hunting. Haven't heard about the rest.
    Given the state of our OL now, UW needs to offer the biggest bag
    I just don’t see the upside of blowing big bags on one year guys at this point.
    We have alot of bags to be blowing, we want to be blowing bags of guys that will be sticking around, nobody likes blowing a bag on a guy that is one and done....is what I'm hearing

    I’d repurpose the money on those with multi years and/or keep dry for the 2025 will be special run
    I agree completely. There’s definitely a time and place to drop bags on one year rentals(last offseason), but this year isn’t it, and Fisch understands that. All 3 guys we’ve poached from UA so far have multiple years of potential eligibility left. Maybe Fisch views Fifita and especially TMac as one year guys, and we didn’t make a crazy push for them.

    Does the money not come back each year from the Humberto’s of the world?

    Why not both.gif

    Kalepo is a proven commodity and the best OL still in the portal. We need OL next year, so why not pay him and pay for future talent?

    I want the Hatchett bros badly. Landon could be our starting center quite honestly. Geiran, Gaard, Drew Azapardi, Arizona transfer, Buelow comes back to play T. You have the makings of a serviceable line.
