oh man, I can't wait for 2027 when "building from the ground up" is in the half brain hall of fame. You don't know the mess that Barry Odom inherited at UW, you just don't.
Deboar had no interest in negotiating. It was well known in the yacht club (which has many school admin and AD members). The school reached out and was willing to pay well over what Bama is paying him now but he wouldn’t even take a seat with them. Remember the comments about how, “we’ll work it out later” etc. etc. his plan the entire time was to bolt. He viewed us as a stepping stone and that was it. Had nothing to do with an admin low ball
I don't see how the Huskies will be worse next year, they will return 4x as many starters (at least 8 instead of just 2 in 2024) and that includes 5 OL with starting experience (McCree, Memalaar, Hatchett, Azzopardi, and Faasolo / Tafai).
Plus the staff will have the winter portal period to continue to address the holes that Lake's / DeBoer's recruiting left for them. That will be 1 OL, 2 DL, 1 or 2 LB, and maybe a TE (if Moore doesn't RS this year) and maybe a RB (depending on what happens with Coleman and Sam Adams).
Awfully warm for October 2024 but there's nothing that points to UW being worse in 2025 and the schedule should be a at least a little easier.
The OL, which is this year's biggest weakness, should have a lot more experience. I heard Locked On Huskies say Titiali may find another year as well, though I think it might just be time to build for the future. I assume Moore may also be back and is plus in running blocking.
A QB returns with reps in the system and who has a much higher ceiling than the one we had coming in this year and a whole offseason to get better.
The defense is the big question. They're gonna have to hit the portal hard. I think they've struggled enough that Belichick is back which is a positive.
If the team isn't better next year we are in big trouble and it's time to start panicking.
I don't see any surefire even borderline NFL guys on D right now or coming back. Thad Dixon actually might be the best and playing himself into getting drafted with his size. Bruener probably gets a UDFA shot because of his heart and Tuputala because of his size/athleticism. Possibly KamFab.
Guys who are coming back Durfee (who I assume gets another year) looks like an NFL DE but has barely played, Prysock has such good measurables I think he has a good shot at getting drafted in 2026 if he plays well in 2025, and I like Jayvon Parker and he probably has a couple years to make it happen.
Comments
we? are in the B10 now. any year Buck is avoided is a good schedule.
last year’s team would have cruised through this schedule.
We should start a long thread about how worried we are to lose Fisch to Florida.
Hopefully I'll get a phone call from the beat writer at the Gainesville Sun.
There’s a lot of idiocy in this thread
it’s time to take the gloves off Teq!
It just might be
The only disagreement I have is that the players speak glowingly about Belichick. Only coach you hear good things about from them
maybe we can dig up some dirt on Florida’s AD to force him to hire Fisch. That is probably our only hope
Actually my quote here is inaccurate. Baird said you need to wait that long to judge a recruiting class, not a coach.

please insult me.
If you don’t have a daddy to fund a 20 million dollar roster I guess building from the ground up is your default setting. Yay!
Look Jedd. It’s working.

makes sense as he was ass at recruiting his entire tenure.

Are there any NFL guys on the D right now? I'm not sure that there are.
This. Case closed. End of discussion

Isiah Ward maybe but he needs to get bigger. I like Elinneus Davis but he's only a RS-Frosh so tough to say.
