But didn’t Fisch already fail at getting those guys? I suppose if he wants them bad enough he should try again, but they’ve basically given him the bird once. I guess I’d move on to players who actually want to play for me — players who are better, too.
Both are positions of need and would matchup well with our roster.
They may have a TE that could have value to our roster filling the Latu role … we probably don't need a frontline starter here but we could use someone that can play TE2 or TE3 depending on the need
Not sure if they have a DT or WR option that is a great fit but those are other positions where I could see us looking
The reality is, we're going to need a lot of portal help if we're going to be competitive in the Big 10 next year. The last 4 years of Lake, DeBoer, and Fisch (so far) has been significantly below standard in the recruiting department. Other than Penix and Coleman, it has been terrible in the portal as well. Just today we took a commitment from a 400 LB lineman no one else wanted and are trying to flip an extremely low rated TE from Wazzu. Raiding Arizona at this point is going to help us about as much as taking guys from Montana, Portland, State, and UC Davis like we did last year. Gonna have to spend some big money or GTFO

I'd be ok taking one of their olinemen that made a poor choice last year. Other than that, I'd hope we're setting our sights a little higher.
LB Brown and DL Smith could be takers if they are interested.
Looking to poach players from bottom tier Big 12 school?
Yes
I hear Cignetti left a few ringers at JMU. Maybe UW can snag one of those?
Pulido at OG would be ideal. Carroll / Fisch originally recruited him and he would probably be a starter as a true JR in 2025.
A total pilfering should take a minimum of two years
I mean, Arizona sucks.
You are correct, however, are you insinuating that because the team is lousy, there are no valuable players to pilfer?
honestly, I don’t know. But it seems weird to be circling a shitty team for their players like sharks. Maybe set the sights higher?
ok
Jacob Manu at LB
Paulido at OG
That might be it unless they have a DT that’s worth a look.
I still triggered by a LB named REDACTED.
This one’s good. I promise.
sometimes you take the layup before going for the contested windmill dunk

They thought their team was gonna be good and Fifita/Tapatio McMillan had a real “Ohana-we’re gonna stay” flag-planting.

Only bad players in good teams want to hit the portal. Good players on bad teams are probably better than bad players on good teams. Probably.
