Jabbar was great but saying a defense that runs 80% 2 Trap and Quarters is “less db friendly” just doesn’t make sense to me. Pretty basic stuff. Having to learn 20x adjustments in Cover 3 like Lake ran is much harder to do.
I think the best case would be to bring in Fifita and retain Rogers since he’s still on campus apparently. There should be a West Coast kid he can poach to help fill it out as well.
Otherwise I think it’s portal hunting, hope for someone like Malachi Nelson to decommit.
That’s not my point, like I said - I love seattle. Spokane is awful though there is absolutely nothing to do.
The perception of people outside of the west coast is that the city is almost apocalyptic- the same as Detroit back in ‘13 and ‘14, now Detroit is “coming back” when it really hasn’t...
I’ve never heard someone post 2020 Chaz say “I can’t wait to go to seattle!” But then again, people who live in Portland/San Fran/Salem/Spokane think it’s GREAT!
Social media paints seattle in the same light as portland. I spent some time in the south over December and anyone who asked where I was from after I said “Washington” would say “not seattle right?”… I love seattle, but it’s not the same anymore. Go ahead and have lunch near pukes place, first...
There’s a difference between pay for play and long term NIL.
If you want the real reason - it’s because UW hasn’t had a national brand and nobody outside of the west coast wants to visit a city like seattle.
