Here’s your new recruiting thread fucko’s!
of course but peterman took it too far.
Fish predicts we'll get 10-12 through the portal this winter
So I guess we'll start to focus on that after Thanksgiving
Post injury seem wasn't really good. He didn't deserve to play over other guys. Loved azeem but he never recovered.
visor on the table!!
we? actually have the only prediction which is 60% from Blair. Maybe…
visor on the table, again!!
did visit udub twice. I thought at one point he was on woof watch.
tres visors, bendejos
Dude looks like a Qoook
Sounds like we missed on a few other guys and are taking Langi. Huffman had a less than glowing taking on his skill set
Per Eklund, things did not go well with Marsh on the visit and he's no longer considering UW
as long as michigan’s handing out big boy bags for top rated kids to play in their jon don offense we? won’t have a chance with the marshes of the world
Based on our roster and what we already have in this class I never really viewed Marsh as likely or even really a need (he's an obvious talent of course).
It felt more like planting seeds as to whether it could/would be a fit in the future in the event it didn't work out with Michigan. With them getting Underwood I don't really see any reason for him to not go to Michigan now.
Will be interesting to see if Oregon is able to ultimately flip Stascausky officially … everybody seems to think so. It would seem to me that if we're getting Langi that is likely the fallback if that happens.
best class ever incoming
What did he say? Definitely looks like he needs a year or two to shed bad weight.
I never worry about taking kids that are 6’5” 330. Those bodies are hard to find. My worry is if the kid is nasty. Will he work hard to change where his weight lies and improve his flexibility and athleticism? Will he coast for five years, take plays off in practice, and eat a roster spot or will he put in the effort to be great? If the coaches think they can change a kids demeanor then they’re wasting their time. It rarely happens. I think that kind of tenacity is in you or it’s not. Hopefully he’s been vetted and they’re confident that when he gets in the doors, with his buy in, they can turn him into the type of mauler UW needs to move the LOS. Losing 2/3 of your best recruits to Oregon a couple weeks before signing day is a bad look. It doesn’t mean Langi is a bad prospect though.
Until UW starts paying high school recruits to sign, it's inevitable that they will lose a few recruits to programs that are willing to pay 17 or 18 year olds. Regarding Ploog, Oregon struck out on multiple guys from the midwest and beyond so I'm pretty sure they went to Ploog and said hey, Phil Knight will pay you $150k or more a year to go to Eugene.
It sucks that UW being a much better school in a much better city and with much better post-college options but it is what it is until the NIL madness settles down some.
so he’s already flipped to the dwags!!
all seriousness, I mentioned this was to secure a bigger bag and I stand by that assumption.
Underwood flipping likely killed any thought of a flip.
Roman Tomanshoff put out an article saying Michigan might flip Stascausky after Michigan flipped the QB from LSU.
He said same QB likely cemented Marsh to Michigan.
Essentially That Langi isn't a very good football player and none of the schools who offered him early are still in contact with him. Its very rare for guys like Huffman to say "yeah, he hasnt been very good but maybe he develops." Reminds me of a few years ago when we took the db from Bosco when Terrence and Willip were our coaches who was a bench warmer. Also the Latu kid from Bethel (lb) who I don't think even played football his senior year.
Stascausky going to Michigan would make more sense than going to Oregon
That said there is a very clear path to early playing time for him here at UW (not sure what Michigan's OL situation looks like)
That said, the important thing for UW in this class is to upgrade their overall talent and depth and regardless of what happens at the top they will do so with this class.
While it would have been preferred to keep Ploog you could argue that the roster would actually be better served filling that scholarship spot by getting a more experienced player to replace Latu's role this year (see Arizona's roster) and then stacking another high-end TE in next year's class where there is a better separation vs DeGraaf from a class standpoint.
Stascausky is the most talented OL prospect in this class but the reality is that there's a good chance that UW needs 2, if not 3, OL starters to come in via the portal. In the event that he chooses to go elsewhere, that will only open up a roster spot for potentially a high end prospect in next year's class to feel like he's going to be able to step in and play right away.
With the portal there's always a path to covering your ass for any recruiting miss here and there.
In the portal era if you don't develop you get managed out … not hard
this does not bode well for fish considering his inability to get (buy) top portal lineman. Hopefully something’s changed with his philosophy or bag man. Probably not.
If you’re talking about the SMU tackle I’m thinking he was a supply and demand risk. In Spring there was low supply and high demand. Maybe Fish and Carrol put a number on this kids skill and when Missouri went past that number because they were going “all in” this year they said thanks but no thanks. Correct me if I’m wrong, Missouri has taken a step back this year and SMU doesn’t seem to be missing this “great” OT they lost. The optics were bad because UW was desperate but I think the SMU kid was probably closer to Max McCree than Troy Fautano.
I'm probably in the minority but I don't see the need to take an OL in the portal. Maybe 1 if he is a higher level guy but the staff seems to prefer to build through high school recruiting. UW returns 12 scholarship OL and will probably take 5 or 6 in the 2025 class so that will put them at 17 or 18.
I guess it could be possible that Memmelaar medically retires and then they would take a portal OL to fill his spot but he appears as though he has shaken the injury bug.
Instead, it would be better for them to focus the finite NIL resources on two portal DTs since the recruiting for that position was so underwhelming in the 2021 and 2022 classes.
And remember, you too can make a difference with the portal:
He’s definitely not a tackle at the next level. I do like his power and when he latches onto guys he looks to pretty easily over power them. I think he could develop into a solid guard. He needs to get in shape.

I’m with you 100% on this. Defensive line is a huge worry. With Williams I think UW has time to let the kids on roster to develop assuming they really like what they’re developing.
He is like the other end of Elijah Jackett…a pretty high ceiling due to his frame but needs two years in a college program to realize it. Jackett has needed to put on 40 pounds while Langi will need to lose 40 pounds of bad weight. Maybe that's why some schools cooled on him, because it looks like he has gotten bigger (fat) since his JR year.
Can never go wrong with taking more OL and DL since those are the hardest to project how they'll do at the P2 level
Fuck Vanilla.
Maybe Langi can go the Ale, Sagapolu route and be a massive DT. Florida has a dude that’s like 400 pounds they put in on running downs.
