Impossible.

My Texas bud is reporting that dude is insanely talented, was supposed to be "The Guy" this year, may have pouted a bit when he didn't get snaps, and may be "a bit of a head case".
Gotta be crazy to play this game. I'm willing to roll the dice.
-
I didn't say that. I'm just mocking you and your meltdowns
"Oh no Florida offered, we are fucked"
-
I’m a bit shocked… Really thought Colorado and all the hype train, jumpin in late would make the difference. That said I kinda dig that Sark and staff pissed this kid off, maybe the kick in the ass he needed.
-
Did Colorado ever offer him?
-
He visited after Florida that’s all I know

Bow down to Napier.

Texas guy that went to high school in walla walla potd

If you want to bash 5 star busts, that’s fine, but if you’re going to bash headcase diva WRs, I’m fucking out.

Abundance.

Here's a decent rundown of the scholarship numbers.
With 95 or 96 guys on scholarship, the staff may be finished with the portal. Some positions have elevated numbers so I would think a WR will hit the portal after the bowl game, Ryan Otton will medically retire, and Mikell Esteen will portal. Maybe an OL too.
A few guys may stick around and see if they can break the two deeps in spring ball before portaling. EWIWBE.

There are only 9 DT. Two coming off injury, one a RS freshman, one a true freshman and and another in Pepa that has been hurt the last two years. They need one or two more experienced upper class dudes here. They were so depleted last year that I can't imagine trying to go to war with only 5 for sure healthy guys. I think they'll lose a LB or two(Bryant, Moore), a safety or two(Esteen, Holmes, Mencke), an OL or two(Jackett, Azzopardi, Fasaalo, Henning), a TE(Otton), a WR or two(Rashiid or Justice Williams, Green, Robinson), an edge player(Wayne, Lane, Ward, Davis), one or two from DL( Parker brothers, Sagapolu) and a QB(Kuykendall). I think a lot of this will be separated post spring camp. Fish will bring in some more portal guys if he thinks they can help UW win, stack talent, have an early spring camp and give the losers of position battles, guys who can't gain weight or guys that just can't get physically right time to enter the next portal to find greener pastures/retire. The young guys that are buried on depth can drop down to the MW and earn their way back to P4 after a year. Hard to do that running third string at UW. That's my 2c.
-
your 2c seem pretty sensible though I question loosing that many dudes.
-
I feel 9 DT is decent, since we typically rotate 6 through a game and run some packages where a plus-sized DE is inside (like Lynch and Uiagalelei). I'm guessing we'll mainly see Pepa and Parker start, with Thompson and Butler behind, and Davis with Sagapolu rotating in.
-
I’m not sold that you can hang your hat on either of the Parkers or Pepa staying consistently healthy. Without them you start relying on Kahn or Macon to contribute this year and that’s not a situation you want to find yourself in. One more there.
-
Put that new DC to work.
-
Is he even good?
-
Who cares?
-
you do
-
They’re looking to add 2 more interior players and an impact edge. Will add another WR, a CB, and a G as well.
-
You don't
-
This makes sense to me. Let them all compete in spring ball and cut the losers. Harsh but needed. This roster needs a shake up and an experienced talent influx.

Walla Walla Longhorn just hit me with some Texas bored comedy

No. 4 - About Johntay Cook...
With the announcement this weekend that former Texas wide receiver Johntay Cook would be joining the Washington Huskies for the upcoming season through the Portal, I feel like I just have to get something off my chest ...
This is so stupid.
Over the last few years, Cook has made incredible NIL money while waiting for his turn to come at wide receiver. Yet his frustration kicked in at not receiving immediate gratification in playing time, so he burned bridges and decided to leave Austin just as the Arch Manning Experience is on the verge of entering the chat.
Sooooooo ... he could make less NIL money playing in a lesser program with a quarterback situation that is far murkier than the one in Austin. There's hustling backward and then there's whatever in the hell Cook just pulled off in entering a marketplace that didn't value him nearly as much as he values himself.
For my money, Cook is the new poster boy for FAFO on the 40 Acres. The grass isn't always greener. The NIL streets are not always paved with more gold. The quarterback situation isn't always close to being better.
Sometimes you just need to keep your mouth shut, put your head down and grind away until your time to shine arrives. You don't set your face on fire because your nose is broken.
Texas paid Cook a LOT of NIL money, only for him to be one of the biggest recruiting disasters of the Steve Sarkisian era. Texas was heavily invested in making his situation work. The coaches weren't trying to avoid playing him on purpose in the name of playing less talented players making less NIL money.
Cook has the natural talent to be a star, but he didn't have the work ethic or inner drive to fight through the adversity in a way that would allow him to come out on top. He placed the responsibility for his plight on everyone but himself and the rest of college football told him pretty clearly what it thought of that position.
Now he finds himself in a position where he's almost certainly hoping to have a big enough season in 2025 that he can use it as a platform to transfer a second time to a more high-profile program.
It is a miscalculated, unforced error. It didn't have to happen. It only happened because of Cook's decision-making and actions.
Here's hoping it he figures out that the thing that needs to happen moving forward has everything to do with himself and very little to do with everyone else.

Or some people see Sark for the adderall popping piece of shit that he really is.
