Nothings changed with Montlake

I actually liked DeBoer's evaluations. He really knew how to fit guys to scheme and vice versa. His portal picks would have been good.
I think if he stays UW is looking at a 9-3 season this year and the program is still building with positive buzz.

DeBoer and his staff's evaluations were pretty good but he could have covered more holes in the first portal period. Who on earth did he / Huff think would start at LT (IIRC, McCree was a Carroll recruit) and Huff brought in Azzopardi to play RT (subpar in the B1G). Valdez was a good get at DT but they could have used another DT like him.
So if DeBoer had stayed, UW likely would have beat WSU and Rutgers but I still see a roster with deficiencies remaining at both OT spots and the DL which means losses still @Iowa, @Indiana, @Penn State, and @Oregon.

woe is UW. Poor babies don’t have enough money. Boo hoo.

and fuck Fisch. He lost to fucking Rutgers and WSU, teams with far less talent than UW. He got embarrassed on the road every time out.
I don’t give a shit who left with DeBoer, my eyes are good enough to see that the coaching sucked and this team showed no improvement.
Fisch should be fired. It’s gonna happen eventually, might as well start the process sooner than later.
He is not a winner.

Well what's super chinteresting is that someone else said they saw on X that UW's budget will be a non-poor $15 million or more next year (did he say $17 mil?). Who knows if that's true but it sounds like they kept $3 to $4 million in reserve because it was limited pickins in the 2nd portal period.
Let's say it's $15 million and that would be about $9 million more than they spent in 2024 if Fisch was correct in saying they spent about $6 million this year. I'd guess $15 million would be in the top 20 of spenders next year and $17 million might be top 15.
The NIL thread going has the details.

Getting tired of you guys fact checking me to be honest

Haha. I was actually opinion checking you. I'm only going off of memory and a cursory look at the 23 and 24 classes. There are other factors one could consider like timing etc, but it seems like we're in about the same place.
Fisch hasn't even had a signing class yet, and just had one of the best recruits jump ship to be replaced by stealing a 3* from WSU. The common given cited by those who want to defend Fisch by tearing down Deboer is that he's proven to be a great recruiter while Deboer was proven to be a bad one. One overwrought Fisch doog last night stated he was millions or billions of times better.
I'd just like to see some analysis that illustrates the point. Since it's that wide of a divide it should be relatively easy.
-
Yeah in all honesty the reality imo is that Deboers recruiting was just ok and among his otherwise excellent performance it stood out like a sore thumb and its revision to say it wasn't a concern last year. Having said that I have no idea how that would make someone say that's a good defense for Fisches issues. Completely separate discussions

And another 4*, an OL, is apparently defecting...
