    Mohammed will NEVER see an NFL practice squad with his slow hips.

    UW can do better than him in the portal…even if they get a "lower-rated" portal.

    I'd like to see a big, strong, blocking FB replace him in the line-up, who can get at least 4th down and 1s. Demond needs that most, IMO.

    Mohammed will likely get 3 yards per carry against the good teams next year - he's a straight ahead, boring runner. He won't be that big of a loss. I'm more excited to see Bonner play - if he comes into the season at a decent size.

    Let Mohammed walk. He's only good for 10-12 carries a game anyways. He's not your ideal starter, he's more of a 1b.

    Spend money on Butler, Henning and RVB over Mohammed.

    Maybe they'll move Eldridge to FB and / H-back since Rhino will probably be the blocking TE as a true frosh.

    I agree about spending the money on Butler and Henning.

    Not sure I agree on RVB since they should spend the money on a top portal WR with one or two years to play. Whether Boston comes back or they get a top portal WR, they probably told RVB that he wasn't going to start next year and probably would get passed by Clay (and Rashid Williams and Justice Williams are more traditional / bigger outside WRs), at least on the outside while Roebuck is the starting slot guy for the next two years and Mason James has more upside as a slot guy.

    Mohammed takes a few seconds to change directions. Watch, whatever team he moves to next year…he'll have a few, good, early games rushing, then the rest of the teams will see that he can only run straight, then they'll realize to hit him straight on with no delay…he'll average under 4 yards per carry after that. I don't like how he has trouble changing directions.
    Demond needs a real FB against the good teams with a good DL and LBs.


    RVB went to the hospital after a game. Maybe they found something medically wrong with him after that visit.

    You have a different take than I do regarding Mohammed but to your point about FB, I think we'll see more of Kade Eldridge there in 2026 (6'4" 250 lbs). Maybe McMahan will carve out a role there too…he could be 230-235 lbs next season and he's currently listed at 6'2" 225 lbs.

    I'd be curious how Jordan Washington and Brian Bonner like running behind a FB. They both seem like better fits for a zone blocking scheme (more one cut and explode) than a man scheme.

    They found something medically wrong with me after I saw RVB’s mom.

    He came back and played vs Oregon and caught a TD in the bowl game. He’s fine.


    I think he probably wanted money UW wouldn’t give him, so he’s looking for a bigger role elsewhere. I think another possibility is he wants to play for ASU or some team that is closer to home.

    Yeah, he's bigger than Roebuck but their gaymes seemed similar. Lawson seemed to be more speedy and could get behind defenses. All of them seemed like guys that should have redshirted, but not these days.

    Once upon a time Aaron Fuller was our? WR1

    If Aaron Fuller transfered would it have been a big deal? In my opinion yes. Even when the player is simply a starter and not dominant it still makes them infinity more valuable than the unknown (less so for super high ranked HS players but they flame out all the time as well). Fuller would have been a great WR3.

    If you want to upgrade talent the best way to do it is bring in good players and portal out bad players that aren't playing. Bringing in new unproven talent and losing heavy rotation guys is at best very risky and at worst an obvious downgrade
